Driver staffing issues

[BigBrown87]

We have a steward that filed a grievance against the company for not properly staffing 22.4s up too 25% for weekend work. As of now he hasn't heard back and he filed it about 2 months ago.

Here they’re forcing half the drivers 6 days but no one shows up Saturday.

 

[I have been lurking]

Fûck teamwork … it always backfires. I lookout for myself.

He's a sup

Yes, it's the same everywhere.

No it's not. Some locals have language against a 6th punch.

I wonder when people are going to figure out that driver shortages are permanent and intentional by the company. This is how that make the crazy money that they do, off the backs of hard working teamsters like us.

We’re over staffed on most days. Mondays RPCD routes get punked around so there’s a lot of layoffs and Saturdays they try to layoff the least best 22.4s and let the utility drivers “volunteer”

Yes, I didn't mean it's literally the same in every single center in the United States.

They run Orion and 3 hours over.
How do they explain on the next conference call that they could not run scratch?

Code 02 lol

I was wondering if other centers are have staffing issues?? Our center has 50 full time positions and 10 22-4 positions. In the last year we have not had more than 4 22-4s at one time. Which is causing the full time drivers to work 6 days a week every week since November of last year. Now I understand that seniority has everything to do with this situation. But would like to know if there r similar issues n other centers. Most all drivers n my center are working 50-60 hrs every week.

Same issue in our Pittsburgh hub everybody stuck working 50 to 60 hrs. a week we have no staffing management has no desire to hire new employees

We are filing excessive overtime grievances in abundance and they’re all getting paid out I have no idea what the problem is

 

[MisplacedRailWorker]

Six days a week is not optimal, agreed. But again, my belief is the current contract supports it.

I would love to have you say it out loud:

How old is the current contract?

Yes I’m the last one to clock out every night.

 

[PreTrippin’]

The contract… A contract…

…the current contract supports it.

A contract so convoluted…. Written by lawyers for lawyers. I need the secret decoder ring.

Did you hit your head?

Eat S$&T and die. Scum of the Earth. We could fully do this job without management AT ALL. All you do is put your braindead little hands in things and ruin this job.

If we have to work 6 days a week so should the whole management crew
