[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5766950, member: 70932"] There were options a month ago. The only option besides forcing drivers in now is throwing cash at volunteers. So the way I see it, there are two options, not "many." If they want to throw cash at volunteers, fine. I never said I didn't like that. So, in your opinion, what are the many alternatives now? Never said that. The contract allowed for a 60 day transition period. The Union only wants to extend that 60 days. That is not uncommon. Read some contract law. It happens all the time. An extension of a negotiated clause in a contract. As a matter of fact, it is already in the contract. This clause gives the Company and Union leeway to try and resolve the issue after the 60 day period. Which is where we are at now. Article 11 [I](v) In any buildings without sufficient staffing to handle Saturday delivery needs after the process set forth above, the Local Union and the Company will meet and resolve on a local basis. If not resolved within sixty (60) days of ratification, the matter may be referred to the Co-Chairs of the National Negotiating Committee or their designees for resolution[/I] [/QUOTE]
