look jammer, it sucks seeing freinds at work not working and than obviously struggleing to keep the famaily and all that goes with not working togather.if it was me, after doing the 630am to 6pm peddleing freight,i'm done going home. in reality, would this guy you speak of ,not working the extra 2 of ot, gotten another guy in to work?most likely not.would 5 guys not working the 2 hrs.ot that night have gotten 1 more guy a day of work? still probably not,cause by that time ,they have already figured out how many men they will use for the outbound freight. be it yrc or mr.computer, supervisors know x amount of men for x amount of freight. whether the model is right or not,doesn't matter, the supervisor isn't going to call in another man for 8 hr.shift. can he use the guy in question for 2 hrs more even at ot rates, gets the job done faster,hopefully for supervisor, and he can probably bury the 2 hrs.ot some where else in the system for the day. bottom line here is, we are doing bill counts per night compared to 12 yrs ago and we had half the number of men working or emplooyed at our company.you just can't say because 2 -3 guys are working overtime at any given time of the day that it means another man should be called in for 8 hr shift. the union does have an added or higher cost per man than non-union, and to compete and keep us all in bussines ,manpower can't just be arbatriary used to keep every man working . what will get all back to working is picking up the bill count or freight tonnage.
