when your union rep is an useless what do you do?

Question

Im having an issue at work with my wage, I tried resolving it internally but after 3 months with no resolve i turned to my union rep, Its been a month with this back and forth and nothing is being done, Its a simple matter that anyone able to see discrepancy's in payroll could easily solve.

I have kept track of everything, Wear and when the issues started, emails have been sent to head office with screenshots of relevant information.

I feel i have been very patient, As really i have no choice.. But what are my options as far as going over my union rep? Do i even have any?

Thanks.

11 months ago it was "union rep is a totally useless bad word" followed by "i want to make sure he know that by harassing him with endless emails. I dont care if i lose union support."

Well, so I guess you were a big liar
- you haven't been really patient.  You wasted the guys time in the past.
- you want his support and he's probably purposely making it hard on you to get resolution.
- be mindful that you were the one that brought him in instead of just dealing with the situation yourself.

Can you go over his head - you were doing that by going directly to payroll and that didn't work either.

Your best option:
Outline in excel exactly what you have been paid and what you think is wrong.

Date   
Hours Worked  
Rate Paid   
Total Paid  
Correct Rate 
Correct Amt Due

Does your rep have a supervisor?  When was the last contact with the union rep?

These things usually take some time, I'd give your union rep more time to address.
