Having completed our first contracted year as IBT 986 members, many Metro Ambassadors are left wondering about the term status of our shop stewards. There was never a defined or outlined term limit conveyed to us nor can any such information be found in our local’s bylaws.
As it stands, we have seven shop stewards serving around 200 Ambassadors, spread across six deployment sites. There has not been a strategic effort to disperse an equal number of shop stewards across deployment sites nor consideration of proportionality to ambassadors at each deployment site. Shop stewards service at deployment sites has been left to be randomly designated based on the individuals’ respective bidding results.
Out of the seven shop stewards currently serving, only two were voted in by IBT brothers and sisters at one deployment site, Union Station. As a result of the recent annual bidding, only one voted shop steward remains at Union Station.
We need a reconfiguration of shop stewards per deployment site to more effectively serve their fellow rank n file co-workers.
We, the dues paying IBT 986 Ambassadors at LA Metro feel that we all deserve a chance to democratically elect the shop stewards who are here to serve and uplift us.
