Postal Letter

Florida Postal Workers, Can you tell me how much a shop steward makes for their monthly stipend?

Can you tell me how much a shop steward makes for their monthly stipend? Also do they earn over time money for their work on grievances, etc?

1. I can't tell you what the stipend is, but as a former steward, all union work is at a "no loss/no gain". Which means you cannot get paid overtime for work on grievances, but management should allow you to take sufficient time to work on grievances on the clock. This is called table time. You let them know how many grievances you have to work on and the approximate time it will take. I will tell you that many stewards also work on their issues off the clock. It's something that is done in the commitment to working for the membership.
