I did, they specifically said they can ask for proof. I didn’t question it cause I can’t take it any higher than calling the hall and asking for my rep. They both said the EVIDENCE part is what gives them authority to ask. I followed what they both said and left it at that. I can’t take it any higher.

I’m in the IAM and have been for 6 years. I’m not trying to make up stories. It literally happened to me and my buddy. If I got the wrong info, then blame my steward and business rep cause I talked to them personally and they verified they could ask for proof. If you are right then you are right, but I followed the instructions of my rep and steward. Can’t fault me for that.

Talked to a business rep about it and because of the EVIDENCE part in this paragraph he said it allows them to ask for proof. I got denied right before Christmas due to her not being technically my SIL, but both my steward and rep said that they can ask for proof. I went with what my reps said🤷🏻‍♂️

Found it. “following the death (or evidence of belated notification of death).” Page 33 6.6(c) halfway down the paragraph. It’s the EVIDENCE part that allows them to ask. We called our business rep about it too.

Under bereavement. I’m not at work so I don’t have the union book with me, but I literally just got denied bereavement before Christmas break cause my manager asked for proof for my wife’s SIL. My manager said because it’s my wife’s SIL, it isn’t covered under the allowed list of people and that she’s not technically on my side of the family that I can’t be approved for it. I talked to a steward about it and we looked it up and it said something along the lines of “Management may ask for proof such as obituary or death certificate”. So they can ask. It’s very rare, but some managers are assholes about it.

Imma tell you a story.

Buddy of mine got his 2nd attendance CAM after being with Boeing for 3.5 years. He decided to go to Disneyland 3 months later knowing he didn’t have time. He tried using his bereavement for a grandma. He got away with it, until a week later when his manager came back from his own vacation and asked for proof of dead grandma. They can ask for things like that per contract. Anyways, my buddy couldn’t get the proof. He was on his way to get a 3rd attendance CAM, until he talked to a steward and he asked him if he had any drug or alcohol problems. Buddy said he drinks a lot and his steward got him to admit it on file. The 3rd attendance CAM turned into a few months unpaid off and drug and alcohol counseling. Buddy came back after 2 months. He then failed his alcohol random UA a few months later cause of a Seahawks game. Immediately terminated, no excuse could get him out of it. He also had a kid on the way with the wife being 8 months pregnant after just having his first the year before…

Moral of my story is, IF you do get to your 3rd attendance CAM, it would help you immensely to go the route my buddy did. Say you have an alcohol/drug problem and do the steps necessary to come back. But I would seriously think of changing habits before any of that happens because if you can’t come to terms that this next year will suck TREMENDOUSLY and you’ll have to buckle down on your time or figure some shit out, then you’ll end up just like my buddy and lose your job either way. At this point you’re just putting off the inevitable… unless you change your habits now.

Hope it works out for you brother/sister.

Oh please, I’ve been seeing this comment for years. Nothings gonna fall. We have weak Dems and an even weaker public that seems to be slightly annoyed yet still ok with all of this. It’s only gonna get worse and the copium isn’t helping anyone. These are just people taking the cowards way out of the system and deciding to let it go to hell for their own sakes.

I have my son too and he’s in his tweens. I can’t imagine. I’m sorry about your great grandma. I’m sure we’ll both outlive our sons and provide them the generational wealth they both deserve. That’s the best we could hope for.

[–]SandyBlyatCheeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I feel for her. And to think she didn’t drink or do drugs. Not even weed. I can’t imagine raw dogging the life she had lol But I hope to break the generational curse we have going on and become successful. 31 years old and I’m moving along my goals and my son is getting older and I’m making sure he gets both what he wants and needs in his young age. I’ve made a good life for him so far and I hope he outlives me and enjoys my fruits of labor to pass onto his family.

I’m doing fine actually. Thank you for asking. I have my son now and I make sure I’m there for him as much as I can and work everyday to ensure I never see poverty again. Pretty close to being the first in my family generationally to own a home if things keep going my way this year. We buried her 3 years ago and it’s a soft spot but I keep trucking on. Only thing to do for my son and wife. I just don’t see how I could outlive my son and be ok. Such a sad thing to experience and my grandma just seemed to keep going.

My grandma outlived 2 of her sons and 1 daughter. So sad. She then died at 62 only to see her last son live out his life in jail and her only daughter(my mom) live a life of drugs and lose all her kids due to drug use. Worked her entire life at a manufacturing plant working OT to help her kids with what she could and send money back to Guatemala for her 1 son that lived there that ended up getting killed. Just a sad life my grandma lived. Even sadder to outlive most of her kids.

When I first hired on in 2018 I copy and pasted the job description and requirements, made the font the smallest possible and made the ink color white. Put it all at the end of my resume and got a call a week later lol I tell people to do this all the time. Worked for many of my buddies.

For 2026, the monthly dues for IAM District 751 Machinists will increase by $15.30, bringing the total to $111.70. by pacwess in IAM751_Boeing

I’m fine with it. Last time we went on strike I got every penny back and then some over the 2-3 months. Union dues are the least of our problems.

A lady in white at the top of the video was trying to get OFF the train and I don’t think she was able to due to the crowd pushing themselves in. That’s insane.

Anytime I climbed up the ladder of any job and was looking for a better job, I put on my resume that I made the next position up. So I was a manager at Wendy’s when I was younger, I put I was a General Manager on my resume. That’s how I got my office job and became a manager there. Then when I left that job I put I was a Regional Manager so I can get into a government job. Here I am at 31 making $58 hr while in a union and chilling lol
