ABF | Update on contract

[gravytrain1]

One thing all these non union people fell to mention, they are all at will employees. Nothing in writing and the company can change their rules any day of the week. They may tell them any day , they are no longer allowed to work there. Or you will be paying a lot more for your crappie insurance. I have been on both sides of the fence.

Also at these new non union jobs, you better keep your voice quiet. You better not be loud at your little meetings. Get sick and see what happens to you.

SAIA road drivers are currently paid 76 cents per mile for the road. That will increase to 78 cents July 1, 2023. They get two weeks of vacation their first year with the first week being available after 6 months. ODFL is getting three weeks of vacation with the first week available after 90 days.

They also have at will termination.

I'll agree all of those are non union bit unions are supposed to set the standards on wages and benefits!!

Only bad part about SAIA they force everyone to wear the Darth Vader masks they have big contract with a CPAP company.

Say what you will about CPAP, it's worth it in the long run. Been using one for 11 years. Definitely know the difference between the times you use it to sleep and the times you don't. My .02

That's true, but it doesn't mean they have more turnover. Do you have any stats?

The Union is going to be asking for $12 hour over 3 year contract

Aren't we doing a 5 year contract? 3 year would be nice

In theory maybe, there are enough USDOT, USDOL, State DOL, County DOL, the Fair Labor Standards, OSHA and a myriad of other labor laws that must be considered.
Discharging an employee for no cause is extremely risky. It must be documented somehow with a progressive discipline trail...

Unions spend 90% of their energy protecting the horrid 10% of the workforce
