Our terminal was closed ER... I was on call... 10th or 12th doesn't matter... I was not allowed to use my sick days. I have 5 of them. Still have 5 of them the company won't pay them out even though they closed our terminal. They say that they will pay them out after the first of the year as unused sick pay... that is BS because of the wage reductions and the possibilities of bankruptcy...I feel I will not see a dime of it. I feel that if I was called to work ... being on call... and I want to use a sick day, I should be able to receive it.

So i do not blame those guys for taking there sick days... use them if you have them so you don't have the same thing happen to you.

I don't blame them either. They have those days coming and may only have a short time to use them before they get layed off for the winter. They would be screwed if all the layed of guys signed to not be called. Then they would have no driver qualified casuals.

3 city men were called back a few weeks ago. Friday, a week ago, they and one more city man were laid off. We lost two more city men this past Friday and there is word our TM is leaving for Vitran. Please Vitran don't take this wonderful person from us. I know he was a TM at PJAX in the past and left when he wasn't wanted any longer after Vitran and PJAX were joined together. SS is the greatest BSer, I mean TM, in the world and I know if he were to leave us we would be lost without his wonderful leadership, lol. Good luck SS, we all hope you get what you deserve in life from here on out.

P.S.: Does SS stand for Super Stupid, Super Steve or SS like in Germany during WW2?

German SS during WW2: An elite quasi-military unit of the Nazi party that served as Hitler's personal guard and as a special security force in Germany and the occupied countries.

I'll be letting our TM know that Vitran is hiring first thing Monday morning. Maybe he can squeeze into that position before they take your wizard!

......and (he) left when he wasn't wanted any longer....

Our TM must not take a hint very well!
