8.6 to 8.2 planned day update

[BakerMayfield2018]

Did they explain why? Does your supplement have language that guarantees it?

They said people dont want to work it and volunteer to go home. But yes , we are guaranteed it, so what happens when we all start asking for our guarantee....

 

[wide load]

This was the question that was asked several times in several ways at our contract union meeting. We were assured we would be guaranteed 40 hours mon -fri.

Tell them “Hey, I'll tell you what. You can get a good look at a butcher's ass by sticking your head up there. But, wouldn't you rather to take his word for it?”

Absolutely! If you need that much overtime then you've made some really bad financial decisions which sucks.

Or they want the OT to make financial investments so they can retire before slaving for 25-30+ years?

Here in Norcal hub, there running more cars to "even the dispatch " get the volume back in at an earlier time. Then he let it slip that our building has become a 9.5 building.

 

[WTFm8]

Rumor going around that they’re doing this in prep of a strike next week... clearing volume now ahead of time. LOL

They had 6 splits on today, usually it’s 1 or 2, and still many struggled to comply with 9.5. I was on a split then had to take 10 from a driver and also a batch of missloads. Ended up working 8:45-8:00 doing 221 stops with a 20 min lunch in there... so much for 9.5.

I jus got topped out at the end of last year. So i like my overtime. All those years of part time/2nd job paid off. Bummer i cant reap the rewards of all that OT that was thrust upon u guys all those decades. I want a boat too lol

2 weeks short of first year done. I take the OT to get out of debt asap. Made some poor fincancial decisions over last 10 years.

Don't worry. It won't last long and you'll get all your OT back.

My opinion here, but the overtime is what makes this job worth it here in California. If we got strictly 8 or 8.5hrs. After union dues ur looking at another 1200$ shaved off. That's about 75k a year. It's easy to say u dnt want it when u been getting it the last 20+ years. Respect.

Bingo.....was talking to an on car last night about this very topic. Like us he agreed that he never saw this coming. They’ve not been told of any specific name to this operation but what’s being allowed today by IE never seemed possible in the past.

 

[tacken]

My attention was captured by your statement of “top of pay scale is a very nice living”. I too am on the west coast. The Bay Area to be precise, and to be at just the 115K poverty line we’d need to make $57 an hour. This isn’t antidotal it’s factual. So now you can see my point.

Yes

 

[CalDrvr06]

Same I'm in norcal outside the bay san Joaquin valley. And it's expensive out here too. Every lil bit helps.

Yeah. Someone should tell my center manager.



Be lucky to be off by 9pm tonight

Not true. Before the recession splits ran every day but Monday and if you wanted you could be out in less than 8 hours. To be fair we didn’t have power steering or automatic cars either.

Not sure but I’m out of the San Jose building. Haven’t seen post Christmas lay-offs since before 2000 and as far as the recession.....there was a bump but barley noticeable. We’ve not seen things like this in my neck of the woods for a long time.
