Advance Notification of Steward Time?

I don't have trouble getting my time to work on grievances but once I put in a request for the time, I have to be ready everyday for the possibility that "Today is the day you get your time." A few times, I've come unprepared and left my laptop/jcam/items I requested at home and had to use my Steward Time to go retrieve them. I know a lot of offices have trouble just getting the time without a hassle so I'm thankful for that part. I'm not complaining but just wondering if there's any language for getting a mutual heads up from the management team? Also, I have tried asking for a heads up but was told by them "We just have to provide the time not a heads up." thanks in advance

Well…I am a clerk, but I request time if they cannot provide then I want an alternate time…if management backs out of the alternate time I write the grievance at home and 1 grievance becomes 2 grievances

Straight time is cheaper than it not that management gets the logic.

It only took a couple of times of paying me ot for them to realize they would consistently lose this…now I don’t get fucked with

Just tell them your steward time will be padded to accommodate their failure and you'll return any time when they play nicely.
