We need a thread going here for us new (temporary) stewards to get a feel for what issues need to be addressed first, maintain contact between barns to adress issues BEFORE they become problems, and just open contact to strengthen our lines of communication...IM exchange of phone numbers or whatever...just a thought:gathering:

I remember talking to her when passing through there! Saw her one night in her 4-wheeler. Nothing little about her!:ohmy:
 
Great minds think alike

Glad to see we are all on the same page. I suggested something that sounded exactly like that. I was elected road steward in Lex.
Any one that would like to exchange phone #'s Pls PM me and we can talk.

O, I have never read any of these books, so I can't comment on the quality of their contents. But be very careful about what you take from the TDU. They have a very slanted agenda. They have very little use for the present leadership.

Been a union member for 14 yrs before coming to ups freight know alittle about how it works, So if we do work together we can make it happen Just right now are hands are tied till we settel the supp.
 
get temp stewards and in a month or 2 we will vote them in?

I read with great concern the posts on temp stewards.
I adressed this issue with our local shortly after the election @ our barn.
I was assured that I would be steward, case closed. I have seen in the past where stewards have been removed due to rank and file dissatification and wanted both the union and the rank and file to be certain that I took this position for one purpose only, and that was to lay the foundation for a smooth transition from O to U.
The local seemed to be satisfied and the rank and file seem to approve to this point.

There is no such thing as a "lock" when it comes to grievances. A bad presentation or not having all the information can make a great case into a loser.

Does anybody have issues with the company trying to say that 4X10 schedules are ok? The whole contract is written for 5X8's not 4X10's. The company is trying to say that they will use 4x10's. Anybody else going to file a grievance over this?
