You know they probably took off because if the manager tripped and hurt himself on the way over. the Teamster's would have gotten blamed for being thug's and abusive. Because like most of you have pointed out the Teamster's the the root of all evil. They are the scumm of the earth.. I tell YOU!!!
We were told two weeks ago at the fac, 3:30 hard cut time. Anything not loaded gets left behind. Because of the incoming e-logs. Lasted two days for us. Then customers bitching, AE's bitching.... someone has to grow a pair in this company. Hold the terminals causing the late arrivals to account.
Never a more accurate statement made. Same terminals, same drivers. then you get the double headed anaconda when you get a bad terminal with a driver that will not even attempt to make his run time
The one thing the union can not tell the employer is what start times they will have. Also the company reserve the right to cancel and adjust the start times as it sees fit. I been there we would bid and then the warehouse would change load time. Then it started shifts getting canceled and the bump down starts by the time it was all said and done you could be starting 3hrs late then when you first bid
We had late departure at my barn last night when I show up there were 4 lifts sitting. Its time for the boss to reach down and grab a pair and force these city guys to work late.
It also suck when you get to the FAC and they have no empties for you to load your freight to so then you dock the freight and just makes it hard on everyone.
True. I am forced to dock everything. Can only load my freight heading north.
Only four lifts sitting. The other night at my barn when I got in there were seven motor sitting empty. Got to leave two hours late. And the worst part was the TM was there that night because we have the e-log roll out.
How can you make any money docking freight like that? You increase the transit time to much, & you can kiss you customer good by. Not to mention more damage & expense to dock & re-load. von.
It's against the law for me. I operate under very strict guidelines on what I can and can't do in the states.
I did not know that. I guess I'll have to quit cussing all you Canadians that blow out the dock
That's a bummer and since that's the case, then I don't really see much other use for a union at my shop.
Speak for your local but not for all.
Von, I have a questions for you and any other present and past Union member.
Well these guys worked there ass of and were promised a pension.
Just thought I put that out there. Since most union contract state that a certain percentage will have a start time when there is a layoff that percentage stay the same. You could go from start time to flex board. I know a guy at UPS freight that it happens to every year. When they layoff start time change if only for a few months.
