Got a bad boss? We’ve all encountered them—someone whose decisions or actions make work more difficult than it needs to be. Whether it’s denying approved leave without explanation, violating safety protocols, retaliating against workers for speaking up, or creating a hostile environment through inappropriate comments or unfair treatment, these are serious issues that deserve attention.
You don’t have to handle these challenges alone. As union members, we stand together to ensure that workplace policies are followed and workers are treated fairly. If you feel your manager is out of line or not adhering to the contract, the first step is reaching out to a union steward or representative. They can help you assess the situation, review contract language, and develop a plan of action.
In many cases, issues can be resolved informally through conversations that clarify expectations or reinforce contractual rights. However, if necessary, your union can escalate the matter through formal channels like grievances or appeals to ensure accountability.
Together, we can create workplaces that are fair, respectful, and supportive. If you’re dealing with workplace issues, don’t hesitate to contact your union for support. Call our Member Resource Center at 866-471-SEIU (7348) for advice, guidance, and to take the first step in protecting your rights. We’re here to help you navigate challenges and ensure fairness in the workplace.
