the response i used to hear from a lot of drivers who wouldnt file was " i don't want to put a target on my back."
and i would say , well you would rather them to keep pushing you around and bully you? I would file on a dime and they knew it. I still had problems from time to time but nothing like the people who were afraid to stick up for themselves.
managers are human too. they have a job to do . most will secretly respect you for sticking up for yourself. my center manager did not want me to retire even though i had a reputation of being a "troublemaker" that is standing up for myself. he said he always admired me for that and that they knew ( management ) where they stood with me because I spoke my mind.
so ya, stick up for yourself. in the "Big Picture" you will come out ahead.
btw . the OP should be a sticky.

How many 9.5 grievances did you file?

None of my managers secretly respect me. They take every grevience I file as a personal insult. They loose their temper like a little 5 year old and throw hissy fits.
They act like I'm taking money directly out of their family's bank account.
Screw them. They know what's in the contract. Keep me under 9.5 or give me penalty pay.
It's their choice.

I remember when the Feds did that with a few UPS drivers ... They were trying to catch some child molesters.

This is great to see. Problem is, your center or local is the exception. Not the rule. They don't even let us sheet MisLoads 40 miles away missed. Whether you are on the 9.5 or not. And you're sheeting your own work missed so you aren't violated. LOL. Wow. I seriously applaud your management team and your shop steward and Local. Good for you. Glad to see a management team that sticks by the contract. But this kind of has a BOG feel to it.
I'm in Local 728 the same as Jack Burton and we do have good representation in the Atlanta area. I often read on here how RTW states are put down, I just laugh to myself how clueless a lot of you are.

I don't live in a right to work state. Not even really sure what that means to be honest

Days like today are what needs to be addressed in the next contract. On the 9.5 list and was over 9.5 once this week. It's the Friday before labor day so the 8 hr requests are in full swing so I get another ridiculous dispatch. Yes, the contract says they can't overload us the other two days of the week but the language has no teeth. Maybe the penalty should apply for all days over 9.5?

At the last union meeting I went to our local (480) president said that we were considered one of the premier locals in the south along with you guys.

We've been told for the past month. Hey guys we are expecting heavy volume next week. We need all hands on deck.The stop counts are disgusting lately.
Today, we got back to the building to see our start times pushed back another 5 minutes.
Preload can't wrap for, but get back to the air trailer at the same time.
The OP is making a great point.
Guess what I don't see volume drilling before Feburary sometime so maybe we need to hire some guys.
