- Don't talk to
management alone or try to take an easier route by settling grievances on your own with management.
|
- Do try to
force the discussion of grievances/problems with members and management out in the open so others can
see and hear it.
|
- Always,
together with your fellow delegates, report back to the members on your activities and grievances. (leaflets, or periodic delegates' reports
are a good way of keeping members
informed)
|
- Do use your
investigative rights as a delegate to touch base with different groups and build support.
|
- If you're in a
position to appoint committee members, don't just pick yourfriends. Instead try to pick people from different work areas.
This will increase your potential group support and solidarity.
|
- Don't let an
issue stop at your work area; spread the word to other areas. Other members need and like to know
what's going on in other areas. Talk.
|
- Do try to file
group grievances whenever you can. Get
as many people to attend grievance
hearings as possible.
|
- Don't lend an
ear to supervisors who make derogatory remarks about other members or their job performance.
|
- Do set an
example for the members by not engaging in such things as personal attacks,
petty gossip, bickering in front of management, etc. Do encourage solidarity by discouraging such things.

Remember : If we remain
divided, management will pick us off one at a time...But if we stick together,
we can really turn things around.
