MDW CTLR CONCERNED WITH SUPVR CTL POS MGMNT FEELING GAR WAS CAUSED BY IMPROPER CTLR STAFFING.

Narrative

I WAS 2 HRS AND 40 MINS INTO AN UNUSUALLY COMPLEX SESSION OF LCL CTL COMBINED WITH APCH CTL. STAFFING WAS INADEQUATE. THE ARPT WAS VERY CONGESTED DUE TO WX; CTR RESTRS AND GND STOPS. ILS RWY 31C WAS IN USE; HOWEVER WE WERE WORKING FROM THE WRONG SIDE OF THE CABIN AT THE LCL CTLR #2 OR ILS RWY 4R SIDE OF THE CAB. I WAS WRITING MY OWN INBOUND STRIPS. IT WAS NIGHT. ACFT #1 WAS HOLDING IN POS AND ACFT #2 WAS CLRED TO LAND. THE FREQ WAS CONGESTED WITH MANY PLT QUESTIONS. THE REQUIRED SEPARATION BTWN ACFT #1 AND ACFT #2 WAS NOT GOING TO BE ACHIEVED; SO I SENT ACFT #2 AROUND AND COORDINATED WITH C90 TRACON. I THEN CLRED ACFT #1 FOR TKOF. I BELIEVE PROPER STAFFING WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS SIT. THE ACFT ON FINAL WAS SENT AROUND AFTER XING OVER THE FENCE OF THE ARPT BOUNDARY AND ON A GAR; PASSED OVER HOLDING ACFT BY ABOUT 200 FT. I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE REASONS WHY THIS EVENT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. I WAS WORKING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE CAB WHICH GOES AGAINST SOP. WE WERE NOT TRAINED TO WORK RWY 31C FROM RWY 4R SIDE OF CAB. SUPVR'S DECISION TO GO AGAINST THE SOP. SUPVR REFUSED TO GIVE CTLR A BREAK -- VIOLATION OF FAA/NATCA AGREEMENT. SUPVR REFUSED TO GET HELP FOR CTLR ON GETTING INBOUND STRIPS AFTER 3 REQUESTS. SUPVR ORDERED CTLR NOT TO SWITCH NON ESSENTIAL ACFT CALLS TO GND CTL; THEREBY COMPOUNDING WORKLOAD ON LCL CTLR. SUPVR PUT EXTRA PEOPLE ON OTHER POS DUE TO COMPLEXITY; BUT NOT ON LCL CTL. NO SPOTTER AS ON GND AND CLRNC DELIVERY.
