Yes. Don't mean to beat a dead horse but The first step was relentless filing for 9.5. The same reasons you mentioned in you center were going on here as well. Mon-wed was ridiculous. Layoffs on Monday due to massive route cuts, which in turn loaded us down with more area to cover. When we got everyone on board and filed 9.5 all the time, we had a huge payout in grievance money (roughly $10,000) center wide. This is where the new language kicks in. The BA met with the labor mgr and settled grievances, in turn threw red flags on staffing, in turn brought IE to the center and two weeks ago we just took a list down for 6.... Yes 6 PERMANENT FULL TIME POSITIONS due to staffing shortages. This in turn fixed problem number 2 about the route/ routes being out. They HAD to leave them in because the center manager got chewed a new one for all that grievance pay. Not even gonna lie. It's a process but in the end it's worth the work. Hope this helps. Good luck
Paid by the hour
