You did not say what type of work you are doing, but it sounds like piece work. If so there is probably a set minimum that you have to do for your hourly rate. If you are making that you are within the guideline and cannot be fired for poor production. My approach would be to talk informally with a friendly union rep to determine that your production is acceptable. If your production is too low you may ask for advice on how to improve. If your production is acceptable then tell your boss that your are doing your best, and don't worry the union will back you up. If your boss is badgering and picking on just you for some reason, then you may have to be more forceful by telling him that you will go to the union with a harassment grievance. You pay union dues for a reason and should not be afraid if you are in the right. If you have a personal conflict with the boss, you may want to try to bid on another job out of his department. Good Luck The PracticaL Mentor. |
