$1700.00 a week and medical insurance that includes $0 prescription generics. Seems we don't work for the same employer if you're working for "slave wages & benefits"!

No, but it will get you the 85% you get to take home to feed your family and pay the mortgage.

Now, that 10 K you are "kicking in.........."

Never mind, I am having a really nice evening.

Ok, it passed. Now what. At this point it seems like business as usual. I am aware that some are here just to argue with people online because there wives won't let them speak. However, instead of continuing to cut each others throats we should be focusing on how to make this contract more palletable for all. Find some solutions not keep bashing each other. Maybe focus on trying to talk to the Terminal Managers and Op. Managers in a civil way and let them know the bad decision they are making daily, (running city drivers over each other all day and backtracking a driver all day). I know,"they won't listen". If it is done with a calm dialogue rather than ranting and raving it might have a chance to happen. At this point if we look for ways to make the customers happy and work in a profitable way at least the next 5 years won't be for nothing.

You sound wise.

I want to share something with you.... Believe it or don't - (for everyone who reads it) I don't care....

Your attitude and demeanor are the FIRST thing you offer when you make a suggestion. Right or wrong you are going to be judged by your attitude. If you feel like no one listens to you... perhaps it's got something to do with your attitude.

Question - for everyone / Anyone working in KC ... P&D specifically - are you noticing anything different? Are things changing? For the better or worse?

If you want to be heard, you have to say something worth hearing... With an attitude worth being heard. Don't only say 'What's wrong' - offer some suggestions of how it could be better.....

Just saying....

Thanks, it made this whole thing worth while. I was willing to see the company go out of business. I was holding out for $755, but I thought I better take the money and run.
