I saw a post on Estes board asking why they were hireing ,Let me tell you what I saw.
I have been working in the city,I was at one stop and I was talking to an Este's driver,Nice guyI might add.
He said he had been with them for years and now was only getting 35 hours a week.I went to my next stop ,and I saw another Este's driver there,I started talking to him,also a nice guy,But I couldnt help notice that this guy was up in years,70 years old to be exact.I thought he would be ready to retire,but to my supprise he had just been hired two months ago.He said he was at a low pay scale at Este's like a casual might be at a union company,But with his social security added in he could get by.So this is just a thought what might be going on over there and the answer to the post they had up as to why they are hireing.I didnt want to put it on their board because it might offend someone or they might think I was trying to flame them ,But this is a true story.It looks like to me that in order to under cut us now that weare on the same feild they are going to load up on cheap help and starve there guys outthat are making the higher wadge.I hope for all the nice guys that work for Este'e that it dosent happen but with out a contract or senority there they can work who ever they want and if a guy will work for $10.00 an hour who do you think will be working?
I wish them the best of luck over there .There are a lot of good guys working there.
