When is the BIG MOVE to Pennsauken , we need a UNION now .
SAIA | The Big Move
- Thread starter tomas tank
- Start date
68.5 cents per mile, $27 per hour for work offs and other stuff, decent vacation schedule, paid personal days, decent insurance, good fidelity 401-k w/match, 5 day work week, off on holidays, pretty much brand new equipment across the board, terminals and supervisors that are held accountable, to close the loads on time, and the company never ever threatens to close up shop, if concessions are not made. That's a lot of koolaid.
AND your union offers what?
You forgot the cameras in your face, smoking ban, and CB radio ban for starters.
No union here, I don’t like where the money would go.... but like I said, Saia’s got too many folks that freely tolerate the kinda indignities I just mentioned to have a snowball’s chance in hell of organizin anywheres.

Indignities? That’s a bit of a reach.
Yeah, I wasn’t originally gonna use a word that nice.

agree with ev
agree with everything except the "pretty much brand new equipment across the board" part
I can appreciate your position. All I can offer is my opinion but the steady historical economic advantages, that Saia offers, makes it easy to tolerate, your partial list of indignities, but to each his own. There is no right or wrong answer.
If someone offered me a card, I'd say no thank you.
Tractor wise, my barn lost all the old stuff plus had the internationals pulled. We have the 2018 and 2019 full size and 2020 small city units. If you don't have that, it's coming and soon.
Article in N Y Times says those trucks are leased from Coop Dispatch, may not be any more coming.
They maxed out their VISA, trying to get Train to come back.

More like keeping the Train away and negotiating a non-compete clause. They received a credit line increase and we gladly parted ways. Trucks on the way as we speak. They even let me keep my uniforms and safety awards. No harm .... No foul.
Train couldn’t pass the physical anymore. He’s mono-color blind.....he doesn’t see red.
So your saying he can't tell what color the tractors are???
He does know Gold.....

He's over on the fed ex thread
Over time ,the best health care money can buy and that includes dental and vision. Good wages,A pension plan A contract equal and fair work rules .That of coarse is negotiable
.And who does that for you. I am sure with your vast labor experience, you negotiate better than any body else in your barn.

You are correct because I like you. You appear to be a bit pro-union and of course everyone knows how I feel about the Teamsters. A bunch of grubby parasites. But other than that you’re a pretty cool dude.
