Damn. You worked more this month than you did all the first four months put together.

Yeah it sucks for them, it’s been that way for 30 years in our supplement.

The kind that shows up early to negotiate a contract, demands nothing, and waits for best offers on things the company introduced to them in the first place.
Make the week 8 days long and have two crews that work 4 days each. I would be fine with crazy OT if we only worked 4 days a week.

I was just talking about this with someone. Work police shifts. Two days on, two off, then three on, two off, two on three off. You’d get every other weekend off, plus a couple weekdays here and there.

We've got some 4 10's runs that are Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday..... seems like garbage to me but they're bid way before they get down to me so I guess to each his own.

The IBT had floated an idea out there, about using 2 drivers on a straight truck
with a lift gate to run nothing but irregs and oversize pkgs.
A 22.3 combo job would make sense.
I would think, it's something to explore. Kind of a "mop up" position.
Keep all that crap off a normal pkg car.
I'm just thinking out loud. Don't bust my arse because of it.

A position to be abused from day one.
At least give em' FT ground rate, a way for people to make it to the finish line.

We use PT air drivers. One man and a truck and pay them top rate. We have PT air drivers making $2k a week.

Fortunately, in this National negotiation session....
Everything is being recorded.
The days of "interpretation" on contract language are over.
Full-time ground rate for 2 drivers on a truck, would never fly.

OK.
We already have this position, paying air drivers 13.50 an hour to shuttle left in buildings and irregs to package guys for years.
Guess this is one way to take care of that.... seems weak either way.

To avoid paying grievances for not "exhausting all means".... absolutely.
But, it's not a long term solution.

They would abuse this to cut routes. I have 10-12 irregs everyday. That's just my route. My loop probably has almost as many per car.
Sorry BUG but I don't like it. If they don't want to pay driver rate for 2 people to del irregs that's fine I'll do it and do it safely(slowly). Just as you like to say. "friend you pay me!"

That is a huge win for us.
Why would a BA tell a steward that he no longer supports Hoffa as the strike vote is being taken? Don't you think that sends mixed signals to the local membership?
The steward told me a couple of days ago and I thought man, this BA is discouraging people from supporting the negotiating team and all of their efforts including the strike vote as it was being taken....and in his position in the state.
Amazing.

Dennis is actually spelled Denis.
Don't worry, I get the bad spelling icon a lot myself.
Who thought of the icons anyway? Juvenile
