Are you referring to the drivers that do not follow the safe work methods? Or the ones that undermine the contract and eliminate driving jobs?It's easy to tell the union slugs in this thread!
Bonus is for runners and gunners who like to get through early and get paid for sitting at home.

If it wasn't for all those union slugs, guys like you wouldn't have had a job. Just think you got all the benefit's of the union yet never paid dues. Kinda like a scab.Let me see ...
I think Union Slugs cover both those types!
Runners are frowned upon. Especially if they cover your route. The driver follow ups and Not in ones get old real fast.Let me see ...
I think Union Slugs cover both those types!
Also misdeliveries and pissed off customers.

When I first went to a bonus center it was great. If I hustled, skipped breaks and lunch, I would run an hour early. They were essentially buying my time so I could go home early. It was a win / win. Now if I skip lunch, I run scratch. No bonus or paying for my time. I run a half hour late every day. The time allowances are ridiculous and inconsistent. Bonus divides us. One guy may run an hour early with little effort while the guy next to him struggles just to run an hour late. We have runners going out with eleven hours of work getting done in ten and thinking they're putting one over on the company.

Your argument is moot as you also don't get pension contributions for OT hours.

Bonus is for runners and gunners who like to get through early and get paid for watching their kids play ball, eating dinner with the family or just sitting at home.
It's also easy to tell the ones who would like to see the hourly paid minimum wage with no benefits so they can enjoy the good life.

There is a fine line between slowing down so you can do your job safely and by the book and "the push for mediocrity" as you call it. Just because a person plays by the rules don't label them a "Union slug". Remember -BOTH sides have agreed to those rules. If you want to do the name calling thing I would suggest you come up with some clever ones for the runner/gunners- skip their breaks- work unsafe crowd. All management loves those guys ------until they go on work comp or cause a major accident or p iss off some important customer.

If everyone did what they were supposed to without problems or being lazy why need all those managers?
Bonus isn't straight time everywhere, here it's paid at OT rate.

The building I work in isn't a "bonus" bldg, could someone explain what this is exactly. What is the "bonus" time? Is it OT? Does it condone running your lunch and breaks?
