I did the same thing once when a 
union member was being "unofficially" 
talked to by management...management 
seemed to have forgotten that they'd 
used that ruse before and I'd burned
em for it and when I came in with the 
tape recorder in hand, they decided they
didn't really need to have the "discussion"
after all. They were gunning for this kid
because he did the right thing instead
of what they told him to do. When they
tried to discipline him for it I poked em
in the eye with the contract violation 
they had to do to ask him to do it, so 
they tried to do an end around run and 
get him "unofficially" in a room and gang 
up on him...he (dumb kid) was gonna go
right in there with em...I told him to ask
for me to be there as well, and good thing
he did. Now HE's a union steward and poking
em in the eye whenever he catches them 
up to no good (which is most days) We used
to say the mail gets delivered each day 
IN SPITE of postal management rather than
because of it!
chat with you soon!
