Corey starts by acknowledging that he messed up the audio for last week’s episode, which was very long, and apologizes for the inconvenience.
He then moves on to discuss a few things he wants to address. He talks about the importance of union stewards and how they can help protect carriers’ rights, especially during investigations and grievances. He encourages listeners to be informed about the grievance procedure and to stand up for themselves when they believe their rights are being violated.
Corey shares a story about an incident where a manager tried to intimidate a union steward and how the steward stood his ground, ultimately exposing management’s dishonesty. He then dives into a detailed discussion of the “3996,” a form used to request overtime or auxiliary assistance, and provides specific examples of how this form can be used to challenge management actions.
He also addresses the issue of management manipulating or misinterpreting data used to determine overtime and work hours, encouraging listeners to be vigilant in checking those records and to file grievances when necessary.
Corey ends the episode by encouraging listeners to stay informed, stand up for their rights, and to fight against any form of tyranny or injustice.
