Air Driving Question

[PT Car Washer]

Actually the 22.3 is layed off and working in the Hub while I am still working in the car wash. Seniority rules.

I used to be a part-time car washer.

Good for you. Then you remember how hard we worked to clean package cars everyday. Sad now that I am paid $44/hr and told it is not our job anymore. I took pride in my work as I am sure you did also.

 

[PT Car Washer]

What's the other half of this laid off 22.3 bid?

....I want to help.

Working in the Hub.

 

[Bubblehead]

Working in the Hub.

So this full-time 22.3 employee is working two sorts (bumping in), while you wash trucks?

I thought (think) it was a bit excessive, but will agree that the pendulum has swung the other way now.

Yes, but we are not allowed to wash any package cars. Believe me it was not voluntary. Kicking and screaming but there was a written agreement with the Union and the Labor manager that company seniority would prevail.

The odd part is the FT car washers have all of their work done in 4 or 5 hours and the rest is downtime. I don't get it.

If you aren't washing them, what are you doing to them?

 

[PT Car Washer]

If you aren't washing them, what are you doing to them?

Taking them to be unloaded and then prestaging them for the preload. Building is too small for all of the cars to be parked for the preload until after the Midnight sort is down and Hub trailers have pulled. Yes it is very inefficient but because 22.2 car washers are guaranteed their hours and jobs, the company is in a hard spot. Plus the job is filled by old wore out package car drivers just putting in their time.

So you are driving package cars?

Yes, and it is settled business as far as the company and the Union is concerned. Just how does this affect you?

You would do better to confine your efforts to your own Local.

Haha HA HA HA HA HA !!

@PT Car Washer you just keep stoking that boiler.

Gosh, if that was only how any of this worked. Why would we have JAC and Nationals? I’ll be sure to tell the chairman it’s all settled business.

This is all sounding like a personal attack instead of a local Union issue. How does any of this affect you?

How is any of this personal? It’s not my fault you don’t understand how anything works and you’ve worked here your whole life and used the union like a a leech, pretending you live in a bubble.

Take it to the JAC and national. Talk is cheap.

 

[Thebrownblob]

Take it to the JAC and national. Talk is cheap.

You better be glad it hasn’t gone there. Perhaps a failure. of your leadership or the membership not filing. Doesn’t make it right. Definitely not settled.
