SELF SURVEY
- Have you ever taken an elevation before the official start time of your shift?
- Do you drive to a job site and place gear inside equipment to hold for yourself hours before the shift?
- Are you one who has disregard and no respect for another’s right to a fair shot?
- Do you check in before the official start so you can get a good break?
- Are you negligent about correctly adding your hours?
- Do you feel like “if you can get away with it,” then you will do it?
- Is your excuse, everyone else is doing it, so I might as well do it too?
- Do you circumvent the Dispatch Hall?
- Are you part of a group covering up for each other’s miss-doings?
- Do you kiss up to supervision to get perks?
- Are you unfair to your union brothers and sisters?
- Do you neglect to cover your reap until it fills?
- Are you picking up reaps and then showing up at a ridiculous time?
- Do you resolve issues with disrespectful language and/or violence?
- Do you reap a job on an initial start, then pick up another job before your reap is filled?
- Do you reap a job after being on a comeback, then pick up another before your initial job has finished?
- Do you check-in early before the completion of your job once released by the employer?
- Do you actively aid in the manipulation of low board sequence?
- Do you constantly try to correct your hours once dispatch has started?
If you answered YES to any of the above – you are breaking union rules. Shaping up, chiseling and cheating is scab behavior. Don’t just talk strength, character and integrity LIVE IT!! Set good examples and respectfully speak out against those who need to do the right thing! Give them an opportunity to correct their wrong doing and if they don’t, file a complaint against them! They will have to answer to the membership in the long run.
DO YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR JOB, YOUR UNION AND YOUR FUTURE? RESPECT YOURSELF, YOUR FELLOW UNION BROTHER/SISTER AND YOUR UNION! YOUR ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN YOUR WORDS! UNITED WE WILL CONTINUE TO STAND STRONG!
Fraternally,
Ray Familathe Gary Herrera Mark Williams
