Do you have a Complaint?
Do you have a complaint or problem? I hear complaints everyday and I am always asked why I have not done anything about the problem. The problem occurred weeks ago and this is the first I heard about it.
Whenever you see a problem occur, you need to write a statement about the problem and forward it to your Union Reps. If you believe what has occurred is a Contract violation or is just plain wrong, let us know about it.
We have to have complaints in writing. If we cannot solve the particular complaint or if it is too vague, we then keep it as a paper trail for similar problems.
Sometimes one occurrence does not make a complaint viable, but numerous occurrences do. We need paper trails to be able to solve these problems.

Great Moral
A rat looked through a crack in the wall to see the
farmer and his wife opening apackage. What food might
it contain? He was aghast to discover that it was a
rat trap. Retreating to the farmyard the rat
proclaimed the warning; "There is a rat trap in the
house, a rat trap in the house!"
The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and
said,"Excuse me, Mr. Rat, I can tell this is a grave
concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I
cannot be bothered by it."
The rat turned to the pig and told him, "There is a
rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!"
"I am so very sorry Mr. Rat," sympathized the pig,
"but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be
assured that you are in my prayers."
The rat turned to the cow. She said, "Like wow, Mr.
Rat. A rat trap. I am in grave danger. Duh?"
So the rat returned to the house, head down and
dejected, to face the farmer's rat trap alone. That
very night a sound was heard throughout the house,
like the sound of a rat trap catching its prey.
The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the
darkness, she did not see that it was a venomous snake
whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the
farmer's wife.
The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned
home with a fever. Now everyone knows you treat a
fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his
hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.
His wife's sickness continued so that friends and
neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To
feed them the farmer butchered the pig.
The farmer's wife did not get well. She died, and so
many people came for her funeral that the farmer had
the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to
eat.
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a
problem and think that it does not concern you,
remember that when there is a rat trap in the house,
the whole farmyard is at risk.
