All I’m saying is that you count on your Democratic Party to your own peril. They want big business money just like repubics. The answer must come from we, the people. That’s why a grass roots groundswell starting a new untainted union is needed. Eventually they would be corrupted too, but in the meantime imagine the wealth we could generate for the people actually doing the work!

Gotta remember drivers talk amongst each other especially at customers so they let each other know what he work environments are like. Some choose to elaborate others don’t.

I talk to other drivers all the time. Hearing stories is one thing. Hearing stories and thinking one knows anything about what it’s like to work here makes that person an idiot.

I know, I talk other drivers who tell me how great they have and other from the same company who tell me the complete opposite.

Haha, yeah, he gave us the initial talk. I expect to be told to 'come in an hour early for a big meeting tomorrow' some day in the near future... and to see him again at that meeting.

Yeah he is the go to guy right now for Xpo on this matter. If he tells you that you won't get your pay raises if you vote union tell him he's full of Sh!t. He pulled that one out right of the gate in Erie . I guess they haven't learned yet.

If he is so confident he's there to tell you the truth ask him if you can a lawyer from the Ibt come and hold a meeting with the 2 of them to answer your questions so you can get a perspective from both side and no just his slanted take . I'm sure the Ibt would be happy to oblige. Shouldn't be a problem if it's just an information meeting to educate you on your rights. Ask him. They should be happy to do it if they want you to make an informed decision.

Some people lack the experience to know what's a bad situation. If all you ever know is time and half after 50 and poor health insurance that may become your gold standard. Anything that dips below that standard may disappoint them but seem bearable.

I changed my mind. THIS is the best post to date. What better than a information meeting presenting arguments from both sides, so an informed decision could be made. Call me when he's spouting his bullshit and watch him melt when I put that situation to him. Call me and then hand him the phone and get a good laugh at the stuttering fool.

But you have said repeatedly that you make money off of filing grievances. Subtract that out and what did you actually make for what you actually did ?

You keep grievances in due to 95% of them being violation of my seniority. If the company would’ve honored seniority there would be no grievance due to me doing the work. The others would be a 6hour home load violation or a guarantee for doing city work. All part of compensation.
 
This the law straight from the NLRB site. Maybe Mr Espisito needs to read it again.

Your Rights during Union Organizing


You have the right to form, join or assist a union.

You have the right to organize a union to negotiate with your employer over your terms and conditions of employment. This includes your right to distribute union literature, wear union buttons t-shirts, or other insignia (except in unusual "special circumstances"), solicit coworkers to sign union authorization cards, and discuss the union with coworkers. Supervisors and managers cannot spy on you (or make it appear that they are doing so), coercively question you, threaten you or bribe you regarding your union activity or the union activities of your co-workers. You can't be fired, disciplined, demoted, or penalized in any way for engaging in these activities.

Working time is for work, so your employer may maintain and enforce non-discriminatory rules limiting solicitation and distribution, except that your employer cannot prohibit you from talking about or soliciting for a union during non-work time, such as before or after work or during break times; or from distributing union literature during non-work time, in non-work areas, such as parking lots or break rooms. Also, restrictions on your efforts to communicate with co-workers cannot be discriminatory. For example, your employer cannot prohibit you from talking about the union during working time if it permits you to talk about other non-work-related matters during working time.

That is not the case if you chose survivors benefit. You agree to take a lesser benefit while your alive in trade for extended benefits for your spouse . Most plans offer it.

It is the case, that's why I said when you AND your spouse dies your pension evaporates. That's not the case with a 401(k).

I stand corrected ,I misread your post . Thx

Yes, YOUR money and small match your employer contributes do go onto your survivors minus taxes. The money the EMPLOYER pays SOLELY into a pension plan on your behalf remain in the fund balance to fund other retirees after Both you and your spouse are deceased, that is the way it was designed. In trade for a steady monthly income for as long as you live you do not have a balance for an inheritance. It's was designed as a retirement plan, unlike a 401K that was never designed as a retirement plan. The 401K was designed as a tax shelter for highly compensated executives it later morphed into a so called retirement plan.
