I was kind of hoping RIVETER would go back to practicing necromancy on long deceased threads.

Let's take bets on his next subject.
First he bumped all the Power Saver threads and made about 30 new threads of his own on the subject.
Then he bumped all the union topics and made 20 more threads of his own.

What's next?!?!?

Riviter I am not sure you are aware but some folks like to hijack the union threads, just to stir the pot. I always thought this section was a BAD IDEA and the post prove that out in my opinion.

I agree but they do have a job to do but there are exceptions.
I ran a job here in hamilton 4 yrs ago. One of the guys called the hall and said he was upset with the way things were going.(Said I wasn't giving enough warning for working OT) wondered if they would send a steward or make one up here. The hall asked who was running the job?
the guy told him and the BA told him to do his job that as long as I was running it they didn't need a steward. There was 10 to 20 guys on the job for over a year no issues. I later found out that we had 5 guys with the steward training on the job and they never said anything. I guess my point is run the job by the agreement and give them what they need to do the job and don't hound them then it all works out. the guys are trained pros and that is how I treat them.
