Posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Thu Jul 26 00:30:26 2012, in response to Re: MTA workers' union: We want more money, posted by Southern BMT on Wed Jul 25 22:03:16 2012. What private industries are hiring train operators or conductors?I have seen many supervisors who consider "dead weight" to be whomever speaks up when the contract is violated or open questions the supervisor's directives and "good" employees to be those who kiss up. In UUP that is an abuse that can be brought to the union office, and the slighted worker would likely get the raise with retroactive pay. Proving this type of abuse is rather easy in an office environment (documented progress reports, co-workers and student staff as witnesses) so no one dares try that crap. Conversely, I have seen CSEA (which follows strict "everyone gets equal pay raises" rules) actually screw someone over who deserved a raise. A newly promoted person realized that her job position should have been set at a higher pay grade. If she was UUP, they would have easily been able to bump her salary accordingly, but with CSEA they would have to reclassify the title. She fought and successfully got the position reclassified... except she did not meet the experience requirement for the new title. So in trying to get a raise she managed to reclassify herself out of a job (I think she still had the option to go back to her pre-promotion position... either way it was messed up, she quit in frustration). |
