So one way to look at this is to say that the current crop of union guys may be screwed for some time to come and it will be the drivers in the future, who might benefit from whatever contract finally comes out of all the back and forth. Very thoughtful of those Miami drivers to be looking out for their future replacements.
Leverage will be if they have patience due to so many appeal process on pay and the right to organize. The company feeds on guys of your nature telling them who want better at their current terminal that you won’t get anywhere time is on the company side you have no leverage give up before the find reasons to terminate you.
We can only go on what they have committed to do in the agreement as part of the settlement. If they choose to not move forward then they will be in violation of the settlement. I congratulate both sides for their progress in resolving the matter.
Any specifics? This could mean walkouts at other locations.
You should join them
Good for them.
I have to disagree with you on this . A freight embago was quickly put in place by the company and service would have been disrupted . Customers were flipping out just over the start of a disruption . Getting what they already should of had is a big deal . Getting a commitment from the company for a contract is a big deal . Trying to downplay their success because you are fundamentally opposed to unions is your prerogative . They still have the medical benefits and premiums from 2 yrs. ago , they still have 5 bereivement days, and they are not subject to the same drivecam rules as you . I think they a little out ahead of you.
What would my garbage be experience in a freight contract. If someone post inaccurate and I reply with facts if that is belittling so be. Driver lounge information is mainly what is posted by guys who never been in a freight contract. You say stop the saying what a union can do a start showing. I have done just that as a business agent for my current local and still do as a steward for road drivers. You call my wages pathetic but $87,000 last year as a road driver working 5 days a week with sometimes a 6th day. Let’s not factor in my healthcare cost on an hourly wage and the little of pension contributions I do get. So be it then it will be pathetic. You post/complain on how the company continues to take more from yet you challenge the ones who maybe can help. The rest of your comments can be answered in a PM if you so choose.Right, and why ? No need to answer. I have read your posts. Your an idiot.
Maybe you and your union friends should stop dragging the industry down with your pathetic wages ? Maybe you should stop voting the company and it CEOs millions of dollars worth of raises every time the tell you to take a pay cut ? Maybe you should stop talking about what good a union is and start doing what you say a union can do for you ?
Don'tme. I left my union job to be here. I'm not buying your rhetoric. You have zero intelligent anything to add to this conversation. All you know how to do is bluster and belittle. Your the garbage that has destroyed the unions. Scared and hopeless. Just going along with whatever the company tells you to do. And then feeling so superior for your complete lack of effort.
