Since we've become part of a union, things have changed quite a bit. Management has focused more on doing things by seniority, schedules and transfers.
People feel more protected.
If they get called in for a discipline, they can bring a steward in as a witness. If they have questions about a policy, they still ask their supervisor and human resources, but if they want to investigate it further, now there is an avenue to do that. Because of that, management now takes the time to investigate things more thoroughly and get their facts straight before they give an answer. People who might not have spoken up before now feel more comfortable speaking up without fear of retaliation by management. All rights reserved.
