Have you ever transfered or bid from one local to another and discovered that your new facility runs completely different than your old facility? The reason isn't a bad Union. The reason often boils down to three things. In this episode we explore those differences and why you should give your Steward the benefit of the doubt!

We dive into Article 16.2 Discussions. What they are, how Management uses them, and how the Union fights against improper Discussions. Beneficial to Stewards and Members, this episode will help arm anyone to use Discussions to the members benefit. As always, we are a stronger Union if every member knows their rights. This podcast is one of many ways I try to help Stewards and Members. Consider checking out the following: Learn more by visiting my training website: apwusteward.com.

What do you do when Management tells you to leave the building and not to come back? We dig into Emergency Placements. What they are, how they are misused, and tips for fighting against the misuse of Emergency Placements.

Today is a special episode as I talk shop with the Roseville Wreckingball, Joshua Shrum. Joshua is a NALC Steward and Host of the fantastic Podcast Parcels of Knowledge. We compare our Unions and discuss a time not that long ago we negotiated together!

We take a look at the OG definition of a Grievance, a dictionary definition, and the Contractual Definition to get a better understanding of what it means to have a Grievance. This episode will help members and Stewards gain mutual understanding.

We dive into the looming issue of making Management abide by our Settlements. This includes a deep analysis of the Grievance Procedure, or AUGER, and the Multiple Grievance Strategy. More for Stewards and Officers, but helpful to anyone who wants to understand the Grievance Procedure better!
