[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3705162, member: 63706"] How many drivers actually bid a Tuesday to Saturday shift? How many drivers actually complained about working weekends? Of those, how many were m-friend drivers being laid off on Mondays and "forced" to work Saturday, and how many were drivers who actually bid t-s? You and the union keep insisting that drivers complaining about working weekends are a main reason for creating 22.4, but unless someone can answer those questions about who actually was complaining, I call BS on the entire premise. It's a red herring, and 22.4 is not even a good solution to this made up problem.
