Grievance Information What has the Union done for me lately?...If
you feel you have been treated unfairly in any way, you have the right to file a grievance. Follow these
simple steps: | 1. | First, talk to your immediate supervisor and try to resolve
the issue. If this doesn't help, go to step 2. | | 2. | Fill out a grievance form (form can be found under the forms
tab) and turn it over to a job steward in your department or call the CWA Union Office at (352)796-3115 and someone will
be glad to refer your grievance to an Administrative Assistant for help. Someone will be in touch with you as soon as possible. | | 3. | Always ask for a Union Rep. when you go into a meeting with
management and think it is for disciplinary action. You have the right to have a Union Rep. present - but you
have to ask for one. This is the Law! The company will not and is not required to offer you a Rep. | | 4. | Never, Never, sign anything. Once
you do, it makes things very difficult to resolve and makes it impossible to get your job back in many cases. | | 5. | If you are ever called into a meeting with a representative
or manager of your company's Security, ask for a Union Rep immediately - even if you are told you don't need one.
You definitely need representation. During this meeting, give short answers to what is asked. Don't volunteer more information
than requested. After you have made a statement, you may be asked to read and sign the statement - Don't! Decline and
leave once the meeting is over. | | 6. | Follow any other directions given by your job steward. |
