Stewards Deserve Respect

"We need the companies to agree to our language allowing stewards to solve problems on work time. It’s in the company’s interest to solve problems quickly and fairly. They pay for management’s time, why not ours? If management treats all of us properly then we won’t need to file grievances and it won’t matter.”

-Nadene Wetherby (Vermont Northrop Grumman Steward)
