[QUOTE="Benben, post: 3848917, member: 25133"] This is starting to irritate me in today's society. We have too many people who jump into something without doing the perquisite preparation, due diligence if you will, to understand whats going on. They read one post within a 6 page thread and [U]ass[/U]ume they are knowledgeable in the situation and feel the need to interject their 2 cents. My response was to a "know it all" telling the OP that being re-dispatched at 9 pm to do the work of another is what he signed up for when he became a driver. This, after the OP laid out the situation of being lied to by management when he was informed they, "need as much help from everyone as he can." If they needed help from [U]everyone,[/U] other drivers would not have been allowed to go in and are back home with their families already. [B]Another way of looking at it, and rightfully so, a "union representative" just told a union brother to, "suck it up" when presented with a problem being experienced by said union member! This attitude has become prevalent with our current leadership as evidenced with this latest contract fiasco! There is a disconnect within our union. BUG is a symptom of the disease rotting out our once great union! [/B] As far as my choice of words, I can honestly tell you, "get over it, I am a truck driver." If a word causes you so much discomfort may I suggest joining a convent or just growing up? See, you knew I could circle back to your "latter" comment! [/QUOTE]
