Every working rule is written in stone for union workers that are organized.
That may be one good thing?
But it also can be bad as well.
Companies no how to walk the fine line with rules.
The other thing we've enjoyed over the years is the open door being able to talk one on one with our supervisors.
Now they will be the enemy,any issuse will have to be discussed with your union stewart present.
Also do you think your automaticly going to receive a pay raise,overtime after 8, the best benefits,and pension?
If you think that your fooling yourselves.
All these issuses have to be agreed on with the union,and workers,than brought before the company for approval.
The company isn't going to say gee that sounds good to us.
Their going to come back with less than is asked for than the process starts over.
Another thing on the negative side is you don't cross classes.
You bid for dock,city,or road.
Full time city drivers as a rule ,don't do road trips,or work the dock.
it may be differrent now?
That was the way it was when I was union.
Either way if your looking for the union to be your savior they'er going to let you down,as much as you think our company is now.
Come on we'er not doing that bad.
A lot of people have to work 2 & 3 jobs just to feed their families.
May the Lord direct your path it works for me.
