Steward tip of the week biglabor.com
A Steward’s Rights
The following questions and answers offer a look at some of the basic steward’s rights and how management can, and cannot, respond in various situations.
Q. During a grievance meeting, the foreman makes a number of ridiculous and unfounded statements. Infuriated, you call him a “jackass.” Can management discipline you for what you said?
A.No. Strong language during grievance meetings is protected.
Attorney Robert Schwartz writes: “Salty language during grievance meetings, short of extreme profanity, is protected by the National Labor Relations Board. In one case, a steward called a supervisor ‘a big twerp.’ In another, the NLRB reinstated a steward who called his boss ‘a stupid ass.’ In a third case, the NLRB removed the written reprimand of a steward who told his supervisor, ‘I don’t give a f*** who you call.’------------------------------------------- posted 6:19 AM :: reference link ::
