Mike you know that is BS...... if you have a grievance to file against any one at your company you file is with your UNION to solve your problem. that is precisely what we do too only it is with our HR dept. We get the same legal rights and do process that you do. And when our HR dept gets involved it doesn't take but a short time before they have (A) handled the problem or (B)show up at your terminal investigate the problem. either way the problem is handle in short order. I have witnessed this process first hand and it works quite well.
You have the same legal rights and due process that we do?
What backs up this process and guanentees these rights, a company policy booklet?
What legal ramifications are there involved in the whole process?
Is a lawyer invloved, if so who supplies the lawyer?
Is the Peer pressure group in volved in this process also?
Funny thing is mike is right, most say thge biggest reason for not wanting the union is they can fight their own battles, don't need anyone to fight for them, can stick up for themselves, etc,etc.
So how effective is Human Relations in getting your job back when they release you for a petty thing. Or maybe the TM was having a bad day and let you go because you look ugly (scenario).
I lost my job (fired) twice at two different union comapnies.
First time it was for taking the wrong tractor number (dispatchers fault) the second was fro stealing 22 minutes at naother terminal. Again dispatcher error.
Each time it took one phone call to get my job back without a lost day of pay.
It sound s pretty swift and cut and dry when you have someone else do it, just like your HR dept right?
I by no means am trying to shot holes in your story. I'm just comapring Oranges to Oranges.
Seems you don't need the union but need someone else, am I correct?
