Chickenman let me use his copy, but I'll order my own soon. This pocket guide is something we all need to have a copy of in our locker. The cost is only $2.00 (add S&H) and Chickenman has the directions for ordering. When he reads this thread, I'd ask him to please post the need to know order information. Thanks in advance Chickenman.
I'd like to use this post/thread to quote different sections I find from the book to share with others. Since I have to run right now, I'll post them later.
Edit: I've asked Chickenman to order me 25 of these pocket guides and I'll give them away at cost to anyone who wants them. Drop me a PM if you want one, thanks.

Employer Records
Check OSHA Form 200, which is the employer's daily log of injuries and illnesses. The form is required by OSHA and contains both the daily list and a summary of recordable injuries and illnesses. The form is available to all Union Representatives, workers, and former workers. Obtain from the nearest OSHA office detailed information on what should be recorded on Form 200. |

GRIEVANCE HANDING AND THE UNION'S DUTY ON FAIR REPRESENTATION
Volume No. 46 - Letter No. 3
"The courts have made it clear that the Union does not have a duty to process every case, not even every discharge case, through to arbitration or to strike action. It does not have the duty to supply excellent, superior, or inspired representation to a grievant. A grievance should be processed, unless it is, on it's face, without merit or untimely.
No individual member has an absolute right to insist that a grievance be pursued through any particular step of the procedure. Any grievance is the property of the Union and can be settled or withdrawn without the consent of the grievant. The Union may screen grievances and press only those it concludes should be pursued in terms of benefit to the unit as a whole and to take into account such matters as time, expenses, and other considerations. |
