[QUOTE="Skooney, post: 3597255, member: 34640"] Perhaps it was a minority where you are, but I sat in those pre-negotiation meetings at our hall, and it was far from a minority that felt they were being over worked, AND the lower seniority guys, 95% of them bitched about working a 6th day/Saturday's. There was just a rant session in the bay while waiting on late flights, of about 10 drivers on Friday about being forced to work 6 days. There is very little offered OT in our building, whats in your truck is in your truck, that's your day whether it's 10 hours or not. However, now that the language has come out, many of those very same senior drivers are the ones bitching about losing $25,000 a year. I just had a few buddies over for a BBQ last night and a couple of them who had that concern, one even admitted maybe bitching about the work load wasn't the smartest thing. Good thing his wife is a triage nurse... All I know, is 4 1/2 more years. Wife retires from the state in Feb. 2023 and I'll be done with 28 years. Bring on the work until then... [/QUOTE]
