[QUOTE="Jackburton, post: 1706697, member: 34538"] If you're asking at the operations level, nothing until the grievances are heard and start stacking up. Once grievances are heard at the local hearing, it's determined which ones will go to panel and which ones get solved locally. If the union and the company are constantly at odds (read 9.5 grievances) and the company continues to violate the contract, those get sent to panel. When they go to panel the company now has to spend more time and with the new language spend time with the driver and management in a meeting to resolve the dispatch. The company will write off the mass amount of 9.5 grievance money paid out as a business expense as only 1 out of 4 drivers file. The other three drivers make up for the one that's now on the list and the company will agree to honor those on the list while still violating/giving more work to the others the do or don't want it that aren't on the list. In the end it's all about everyone filing if you don't want the work. If everyone in the center that moans and complains about having too much work would file, it would become unprofitable to slam drivers and the company would scale dispatch back. In my above scenario, as long as the company can justify paying grievances and honoring the few that file, then you will continue to get slammed. I for one welcome the work but I understand others who don't. Operations is there to carry out a plan, while walking the line of the contract. If the two come to a crossroads, you can bet they'll take the violation over not following orders, as long as the resistance to the violation is non existent. [/QUOTE]
