[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 4653023, member: 42554"] I probably had less. We have 9 Stewards and no one is having to process a lot of grievances other than subcontracting that I'm aware of. We've had two terminations, I had a split domicile issue resolved w/o going to paper, an issue with interpretation over self DQ'ing and when you could try again, some per diem pay issues and some sleeper pay issues when legs were dropped. One guy wanted 6th day pay for working Friday when they were getting 7th day pay for Sunday. No harassment grievances, no supervisor's working this year that I know of. Haven't had an attendance push beyond IVIS or text messages. Drivers were resisting wearing safety vests, masks, and hiding tractor keys but I haven't heard of anyone getting a WL. We had our share of minor accidents but they were Driver friend'ups like taking out our carwash with a raised trailer. We're pretty pro-active here about addressing issues. I've gone so far as to buy a phone and plan for a Driver out on FMLA and struggling so not calling in like he's supposed to and we have a program where I talk to new Drivers on their first day of training to get them on-board and up to speed that seems to have helped. Management and On-Roads treat us like professionals and we do not have 'rubber stamp' discipline. It's more collaborative than confrontational and frankly that's refreshing. What's funny is I filed a grievance on my manager 25 years ago when he was a PT sup working and I was a package driver. I enshrined his smartass response there and trot it out every so often for fun. I'm sure we're the exception but I can always go back to being a colossal PITA anytime the Company wants it that way, I lost my fear of being fired decades ago and we're very organized. I wrote "Acting Collectively" and I stand by every word. [/QUOTE]
