Now theres a great reason to have the union, Go on strike, be out of work, and hope someone buys the company,meanwhile the workers already lost homes, cars, and wives, .. Where can I get in on this?

Just how many sarcastic posts do I have to make before you finally realize that is no more Overnite? that UPS bought them out more than 2 years ago.

Its no wonder that you & braceface get along so well. You both make ignorant union bashing post without any regard to the facts or the truth.

Now let me try 1 more time to get you to address the topic of this thread which is the fact that overtime is not a union / non union issue since all the good non union companies pay their hard working hourly employees overtime & the "bottom feeders" do not. What say you to the issue? Do you have an opinion on anything other than union bashing?

yes I do..In fact I agree with you, ANYTHING over 40hours you should be paid time and a half, none of this we will give overtime on the 6th day or only after 40. If I put in 8 hours I want overtime at 8:01 on monday < or the very 1st day that I work..One time a long time ago I call a Tanker co. to work for, and I asked them do you pay overtime? and he said no. then I asked do you require us to work overtime? and he said yes. then I asked why would anybody agree to those terms? He said If I paid everybody overtime "I would go out of business" and I told him well you should go out of business, What others way do you screw the drivers to stay afloat, and I said thanks but no thanks As for reddaway Im not sure how they pay overtime but I know they do, could be anything worked after 8 or after 40 or the combination of both, but Im not a city driver so Im not up to date on it 10-4?

I personally agree the overtime should be over 8 not over 40. I never liked the over 40 thing. Too many ways to take advantage. But oh well they have a choice I guess.
