Feeling very disheartened by wormy brothers, any advice appreciated
Sooo long story short we got a text at 12:15 today after lunch that Tomorrow work doesn’t start until 9am, I was told we have to have a 24 hour notice told the gf and sub gf they both said idk call your stew then called the stew he said he’s working on it. What really gets me is at the end of the day the sub gf who used to be my foreman says you hear that we start at 9 am I said ik hopefully the stew gets us paid for the missed hours, he says I don’t think that’ll happen it’s the gc that made the call I said ik but our con signed the cba and is supposed to uphold it the same way I do therefore we should get paid, he said I’ll bet 50 bucks we don’t then shakes my hand on 50 bucks brags about how much he makes and I said that’s wild you’re betting against the union he said well not really then says “big corporations always win”. Now that just really gets my blood boiling considering he’s a dues paying member the direct result of corps not winning, and him just throwing everyone under the bus bcs he’s unaware of our systems. Same gf that used to berate guys for not having tools that aren’t on the tool list stuff like unibits and impact drivers all kinda of stuff who also shoves me with a non member everyday to work with while I also get my balls busted for not following the tool list. I’ve tried organizing the non members as well they just agree and change nothing the next day.
Anyways sorry for the ramblings just hard to go back to work tomorrow knowing the brotherhood means fuck all to a giant two thousand people or so jobsite, that and being an apprentice I can’t really do much all I can do is call the stew hope something happens file a grievance and hope something happens idk very disheartening. Just looking for some hope and brotherhood is all
