I’m not missing the point.

Above all else, I am teamster proud.

I understand what you are saying.
I have discussed attrition extensively in the past. I have emphasized and projected the fate and future of our aging workforce ad nauseum.

What you are failing to address is your complete unhappiness, and fantasy belief that full compensation will be restored by standing strong.

With so many factors not in our favor, it is unrealistic to assume that we will be fully compensated any time in the near future, unless a broad spectrum of changes come to pass.

The only way I see improvement is returning to the Roadway model of EEFB, before our consummate knowledge is lost. Elimination of the management oligarchy that has failed to change with the times and address the financial, moral and logistical issues we face daily is imperative to our profitability.

Unrealistic expectations by certain factions of the bargaining workforce, as well as shabby work habits, are major contributors to our failures.

If your expectation is returning to full compensation, then it is also your responsibility to perform at the highest level in all aspects, as well as encouraging and demanding all around you to perform at such a level.

As much as you might fantasize, this ain’t your Daddy’s or your Mommy’s Union any more.

As always, eloquently and accurately stated. The "entitlement" attitude that is infecting our society, as a whole, is a huge contributing factor to the plight of YRCW.

Elwood, this illustrates exactly what must occur. "If your expectation is returning to full compensation, then it is also your responsibility to perform at the highest level in all aspects, as well as encouraging and demanding all around you to perform at such a level."
 
decisions are made hundreds of miles from the work, even on the dock. new procedures are implemented with no consideration of why it is being done the way it was(eefb).new hires are given no training on how to load to prevent damages, new supers just pull down the door and cut partials that wont ride, even if a few deck bars on the rear would fix it. no training for weight distribution at all. large dock but manpower all works in a cluster.
old junky plywood trailers are loaded out to the farthest points. no airlines for bagging at heavy doors, incorrect nozzle, used bags don't hold air anyway, etc etc. and make sure your senior most guys end up on crappy bids, because it boosts morale. tm morale that is

I thought everyone around here was talking about having their pants yanked down? Maybe that's why they need to pull them up! Although that'd be super weird if everyone was going to work without pants. I mean, you've gotta remember your dignity sooner or later, right?

Of course, I could just be horribly confused. That can happen when your daily dose of Wong is too high.
