INSUBORDINATION
Management loves power. The ability to threaten workers with punishment for being insubordinate is a tool that many managers use to enforce their power. For many union folks, the whole idea of workers being punished for being "insubordinate" to bosses is insulting and discriminatory. This is one topic where the class bias of labor law becomes clear. Management is considered better than workers A UNION STEWARD’S BIGGEST MISTAKES A good union steward is many things - an organizer, a negotiator, a counselor, a peacemaker and a troublemaker. But there are certain things that a steward must avoid at all costs — and the latest UE Steward takes a look at the twelve biggest. This issue also includes a WINNING PAST PRACTICE GRIEVANCES Issues One of the most powerful tools at a steward s disposal in defending members rights and working conditions at work is the concept of past practice. It s important for each steward to be familiar with the practices of the workplace and how to use the grievance system to defend them. Understanding and Defending Past Practices at Work One of the powerful tools that each steward has UNION HEALTH AND SAFETY PROGRAMS Every UE workplace should have a Health & Safety Committee or a Union Program for Health & Safety. Funding for OSHA has been cut severely and so no workers should rely on OSHA to make inspections. No matter what the boss says, it is the right and the duty of the union to deal with health & safety issues even if there is no specific language inthe contract.
MEMBER TO MEMBER HARASSMENT THE FIVE BASIC STEPS TO ORGANIZING A UNION The organizing campaign does not let up after an election victory. The real goal of the campaign, a union contract (the document the union and the employer negotiate and sign, covering everything from wages to how disputes will be handled), is still to be achieved. Workers must be mobilized to support the union’s contract demands (decided by you and your co-workers) and pressure the employer STEP ONE OF THE GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE The first steps of the grievance procedure are probably the most important. This is where most of the investigative work is done by the union steward, the union first states and frames its case, and where the employer states their case. The first two steps of the grievance procedure are where most grievances get settled. Often times “problems” get settled by just having the WELCOMING NEW EMPLOYEES INTO THE UNION Issues Attitudes about the union are often formed during the first year on the job Information about the union and the contract; the grievance procedure; and, the effectiveness of stewards play a major role in forming and maintaining membership involvement from day one.

MEMBER TO MEMBER HARASSMENTWHO WE ARE | UE
"UE" is the abbreviation for United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, a democratic national union representing some 35,000 workers in a wide variety of manufacturing, public sector and private service-sector jobs. UE is an independent union (not affiliated with the AFL-CIO) proud of its democratic structure and progressive policies. BIDEN ADMINISTRATION REPORT CARD: FIRST 100 DAYS April 30 marked the end of the first 100 days of the Biden administration. The phrase “first 100 days” was coined by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1933, in a radio address in which he assessed his administration’s first actions to tackle the Great Depression and establish the New Deal. The purpose of this report card is not to congratulate or condemn the president, WELCOMING NEW EMPLOYEES INTO THE UNION Issues Attitudes about the union are often formed during the first year on the job Information about the union and the contract; the grievance procedure; and, the effectiveness of stewards play a major role in forming and maintaining membership involvement from day one.

INFORMATION REQUESTS Issues To defend the members and the union contract, the union has a legal right to seek information from an employer - and the employer has a legal obligation to provide it as long as the union's request is relevant and not unreasonable. The employer is required to provide relevant information in a variety of circumstances - don't assume that a grievance has to be filed WORKPLACE SURVEILLANCE Workers at a UE represented factory noticed a crew of outside electricians doing a lot of work in the plant. They were installing an extraordinary amount of new electric exit signs and refurbishing old ones. At first no one thought anything about it, but then someone noticed that instead of regular electric cable running into the signs there was 3/4 inch coaxial cables.GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
Investigating and Handling Grievances Step Two: Putting the Grievance in Writing When an employer denies a grievance after the first step, it is up to the steward to submit a written grievance. If the grievance is questionable, it is best to have the Chief Steward or Union Committee review the facts, and make the decision on whether to proceed with the grievance. EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF OVERTIME Here are some scenarios that are probably familiar to most UE Stewards: Harlan Parrot comes up to his steward. "I have a grievance. Jim Carey is always s----- up to the boss and getting all the overtime. I thought there was supposed to be equal overtime. What are you going to do about it?" or, Sheila approaches her steward one afternoon, "Hey, did you hear the company's MEMBER TO MEMBER HARASSMENT The Executive Board of UE Local 1776 was discussing a problem. One of the members, Jason, was going to be disciplined for harassing another member, a woman. Roberto, the Chief Steward, was making the report, "After completing my investigation, it's clear that he was doing this. For the last month Jason has been coming up to her and saying somereally nasty stuff.

The Strange Career of the Electoral College (the people who really elect the president) When UE members elect their local officers, there is a pretty simple system: each local member gets one vote, and the candidate who receives the most votes wins. Most nations that elect a single chief executive such as a president use a similar system, albeit on a much larger scale. “One person, one vote” and majority rule are basic to the practice of democracy.*

A UE STEWARD’S GUIDE TO FIGHTING COVID-19: GUIDING OUR MEMBERS THROUGH AN UNPRECEDENTED HEALTH AND ECONOMIC CRISIS. UE Stewards are our first line of defense on a new front. Stewards have a special role to play right now to assist our members as they face a life-threatening situation. Some of our workplaces must stay open to provide life-sustaining services, and stewards will need to advocate for special workplace protections. Other workplaces must close or drastically reduce the number of workers present to prevent this disease from spreading more rapidly, and stewards will need to help workers navigate layoffs and maintain connections with membersoutside of work.
