When members are put in a position of needing to document incidents and concerns, here are some best practices:
Have all communication in writing with your Supervisor. This ensures you both are clear on the concerns, and is proof of communication of them being aware of a concern.
Remember to include specific times and dates.
If an incident occurs, immediately bring it up to a supervisor for transparency reasons.
Follow the Chain of command. (Initiate a conversation with your immediate Supervisor, if no resolution go to the Principal, if no resolution contact Local 99 so we may contact a Human Resource Representative to seek a resolution.)
Keep a copy of all documents provided to your Administration/Supervisors.
Sign all of your documents.
If you have a specific question you need to first speak with your site Steward for a resolution.
If your worksite does not have a Steward, please contact us.
