There still here ( referring to the veterans) because the taking happened of a period of time . They have families and Earned a good amount of Pto and they don’t want to give it up and start at the bottom somewhere else. Why is that so hard for you to comprehend. Guys where told for years that this is a job they can retire from. I know that what you say is the new company attitude towards that thought .
But we never had job security and was always at will employees and everyone that works here knows that. Then pension disappeared long ago, as far as I know we've never had the same health insurance as a union. So why now all of a sudden people are wanting a union?
We had insurance that was good with no weekly deductions. You have not been here long enough to know what we had. So your opinion is limited
I've personally seen 2 guys hit a pole on the yard and demolish both tractors. 1 was told to get another truck after filling out the report, the other was fired.
and you know what was in each driver personal file? One it could have been a 1st offense were the other it was the straw that broke the camels back
That is exactly my point no continuity to the Kangaroo court that decides your outcome .Managers favorite, someone had a bad day or whatever reason or no reason it’s nearly up to the mood of the moment.
Might be ,but quess what ,You’ll never know nor do they need to justify it .Government agency could care less unless it involves some for of discrimination. Your on your own at the will of others
I knew them both very well. I don't believe that their files were an issue. But since they didn't have anyone to have their back, they had no case.
I've never seen Con-Way or Xpo not follow seniority, heck where are you finding these younger guys to replace the older guys, the youngest guy hired after me is a few years older then me and I've been here 10 years..lol
We have older guys that can out work anyone younger then them even on a bad day. We did have millennial that would take 8 hours on a local 4 stop volume run and never a word said to them, and would still complain about their day. I don't see a younger group replacing any older guys here
I know spit happens but how do 2 guys demolish trucks in our own yard? They may of been good guys but they had to screw up big time to damage a truck that bad if you are observing the yard speed limit
Our lot is huge. One hit a light pole footing that didn't move at all. The other hit one if the metal concrete reinforced pole around a fire plug. It bent a little just before it ripped the hood off and nearly the steer axle. Speed was prolly part of the equation for both but with different endings.
That sucks no one injured and the guy was fired. I always liked the “if you drive a forklift of the dock your fired” nothing like threatening people to stop a problem.
No sympathy for either driver. They both should have been fired.
Hard to judge without knowing whole story but is it possible the one that got fired already had 2 strikes against him and the other didn't?
Our policy does not call for that now. I am speaking on the unequal outcome.
This was 15 plus years ago. No strike system.
If you drive fast and slide off dock you have no one to blame but yourself, just like speeding in yard and crashing into something
No one disagrees with that . It’s the firing of people for a single event that is less than a cardinal infraction. Also a company that condones fast driving in and out of trailer that adds to it . Not having restraints at a open dock doors or at least closing a door that is vacant . Simple measures that could HELP prevent such an accident are not put to use rather it’s just easier to put a flat statement up saying your fired if you do this .
