[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5432352, member: 76643"] I agree. When my BA tried to talk me into withdrawing a couple Art 37 grieves, one against the DM and another against the labor manager, he dismissed Art 37 as a toothless formality. While I think that article needs more and sharper teeth (and the entire contract, [B]and the membership as well[/B]), the fact is: mgmt has steered clear of me ever since I filed. They did not even attempt to retaliate. In the year since they've only attempted 1 observation. I had just pulled over and coded out break. Told the supe the same when he pulled up, and he moved on. I am regularly telling brothers and sisters, if 1. you have sound methods and are a reliable employee 2. you learn the contract and 3. you stand your ground enforcing it on the spot as well as filing, mgmt learns to respect you. We need many more Teamsters with good heads on their shoulders and who refuse to be intimidated. [/QUOTE]
