davidt, m/4369 'b-team' should figure that one out, and if they don't, if they are not competent enough, or if they give up - they're not worthy of having anything to do with the union, or with representing you, or with pocketing yours or anyone else's dues. so just remember that, and be involved when the time comes.

scheduling is pretty basic thing. if they want you to work, it starts with the schedule. if they want to mess with you, they'll find the ways. for example: two years ago they had two phone numbers of mine. the house number, and my cell. i moved like a year and a half ago - right away told them that the house number is bad, that i can't be reached there anymore. in front of me, the stupidizer scratched it off of the main roster sheet, and i changed all of my contact information with usps officilly too. since then, they've been calling my cell. dozens of times. case closed, right? WRONG when you know what stupididiotizers we're dealing with, and the level of general incompetence and a complete lack of organisation. few weeks ago i was scheduled to go in late, so i go in late. i walk in, and one of them says: where were you, i called you and left you a message! left me a message? checked - no messages. short while later, i came to find out, they pulled that old, old phone number from somewhere and called it, i guess for the first time in almost 2 years...
