Package Car is cake compared to this...
Not sure what you’re saying here. “Rate of flow of the pump” and “yielded pump time”?
You’ve given this more thought than I ever have.
And I’m guessing your hate of pettiness is directed my manager? Yeah, he was only petty on his good days.
Egregious would be be a more accurate word for him.
He knew the warning letter was BS. He didnt even have the stones to give it to me himself. He had an on-road sup give it to me. And that guy couldn’t explain to me how I lacked a sense urgency. This was as much about history as anything else.
I knew they were watching and I did everything by the methods.
We have all dealt with managers like this. Thankfully, this guy is long gone now.

I didn't know there was going to be a math test on this site.
Q: If a RPCD leaves the building at 9:00 am with 18 air stops, and is told a EAM driver (who is
40 minutes from his route) will meet him to help with the excess.... how many late air will
there be, and what time should he take lunch ?
A: It's the company's problem if they're late.... and lunch is at the usual time.

If you have been paying attention, I haven't taken a stance.
I'm neutral at this point, for a couple reasons.
1) I want to see and hear the results of the 2-man committee.
2) I need clarification on a few things, myself.
3) I have an absolute lack of faith in the members.... to even bother to vote.
If their comes a point in time, I'll start a separate thread about it.... with the reasons why.
(with more of an emphasis on #3)

Going from threatening me, to profanity.... all in a couple posts.
Just cause they have a "smart phone".... doesn't make them smart.
Their knowledge of the IBT and the UPS is derived from the internet, and people that are
politically posturing. If they want to make a difference, work your way up.... old school.
There are no "participation trophies" in being a Teamster.

You poked the bear, while he was watching, and didn't expect some retaliation?
I never really thought about this until you just said it. These people might be drunk sometimes. Wow
That's the same thing we thought about the negotiating committee, when they said this was the bestest contract ever.
There is drinking, but that is after negotiations and never before 5 o'clock.
I find that hard to believe. Sounds like Brown picked up.the tab.

The reciprocal is also true. Some people have a lack of faith that their vote will mean anything.
I heard it from the soon to retire members more than once...
"It doesnt matter what you want. It's about what the union leadership wants."
Where did they get that attitide?
There's a myriad of variables attached to that statement but unless stewards think it matters and pushes people to vote apathy and disbelief will still be present.
Just my observation over 20+ yrs.
Actually you picked up some of it.
Hopefully I get some of it back from the strike fund.

What "negotiations?" Negotiations implies give and take from both sides. From the cheap seats it looks as if The company said, "this" and the union said, "um ok."
