If the info on PTS goes to the hall and is not available for the rank & file to see exactly what do you file a grievance on.
Individual grievances are filed every day. The strange part is one would think a grievance would change behavior but the company has a pocket full of our money to pay them with (15% & pension contributions) and that's how they conduct business now. Just think if they weren't so arrogant and stupid or both we could make a profit. Be interesting to know how much they pay out in grievances nationwide I know in Dallas it is a lot of money
Grievances work. Back in the day I filed on brokers that Jackie Presser allowed in the master freight agreement. Guys got paid 8 hours for being left at home an extra 2 hours due to brokers. We collected tens of thousands of dollars and that was just brokers used between Chicago and Richfield.
To get started, I would recommend getting educated on the union and grievance process. For example did you know you can file a grievance of discovery for information on the brokers or purchase transportation? It doesn't matter that the contract says the company will provide the information to the union. You just have to get up off the couch and do it.
