Is this Saturday thing happening everywhere? Or just in my district?

Starting in socal in a few months also. Should be interesting. We were told "you are expected to work with management during this transition." Whatever that means.

It means that this is uncharted territory for both sides and we need to patient as there will be growing pains.

How are they deciding who is T-S? Going by routes or just seniority?

I predict a lot of "flu" on Saturdays.

What I'm curious about is say you have a Freight route where businesses are only open Monday through Friday. They force you to work T-S I would think those guys would fight that. You bid that route and it's yours. Now they are saying you don't get to run it?

Anyone that takes a dead, should be forced in on Saturday

The routes should be bid M-friend or T-S.

It couldn't really work that way. They could bid on a T-S job position but the Saturday route would be different than the rest of the week.

Maybe they could do it with one of the routes that is always out on Mondays though.

Agree. The issue is going to be will they rebid every route because in my local you bid a route and stay on it till you wanna leave it.

Anyone who takes a dead on a Saturday should be hung. Demand 8, set 'em straight!

They certainly chop enough routes in Monday.
