Use Common Sense to Protect Yourself
If you call out, be sure to write down the confirmation number.
If you receive any kind of discipline, give it to a union official immediately. The union has only 14 days to file a grievance, and we need time to collect information before meeting with your supervisor.
If you decide to handle your own grievance*, don't expect the union to work miracles if you incriminate yourself, or if you fail to get any agreement in writing.
If you have any questions, please call the union office at ext. 4194.
*The contract states that employees can bring their own Step 1 grievances. The Weingarten Act states that employees who want the union's protection must ask for a steward. Management is not obligated to inform employees of that rule.
