Blue? Your kiddin right?
It was about 10 yrs ago with ink spill. Don't you remember the blue snow?
That was the blue stuff they put in ponds so algae doesn't grow. It was leaking in a trailer and one of the supers moved they trailer away from they dock and it leaked all over the yard. When it rained or snowed it went eveywhere.

Hey whyred57..........according to a admin office worker, layoffs have nothing to do with freight levels. It's all about about saving $$ on health and welfare. In the same breath they will work guys OT and guys on L/O and pay the same difference in costs. You figure it out and let me know. DS.4 more laid off last week on the dock, that makes about 30. City laid off also but i am not sure how many.
D.S
We`ve been told at numerous meetings the lay offs are based on the terminal not making their production goals for the week. Every Friday they look at the numbers and if they are not where they should be more people are layed off. So far we have eight Teamsters layed off with the bottom three being in a hard lay off.

Mud, We have met every production goal since the first of the year, in fact surpassed them. Yet we still have 7 on lay off. As long as our greedy Brothers sop up the overtime the company is one happy pig. They can lie and tell us anything. How are you going to check their numbers? The only numbers that have to be true are their earnings to the gov. and stockholders.

Someone give me an idea!!!!
Seems to me RDWY has found a "loophole" in the contract to prevent any laid off man from getting put back on "regular" or full time. We have around 20 laid off men working 40+ hours a week. By contract we can't put them back on full time because the hour count doesn't qualify them back.
I want them back on full time, but can't qualify a single man.
Any ideas?? DS.
Hey KK, a quick question.........at 671 layoffs happen even when freight is up. RDWY is working OT instead of casuals. That way we can't qualify anyone back on full time. The question is if RDWY lays off 25% of the dock guys and OT is offered, how are we supposed to put anyone back on??

D.S. I know different parts of the country have slightly different wording in the contract concerning layoffs. Valdosta currently has 12-13 on layoff. These guys are only getting 2 days a week (Sat & Sun). The company then uses any two other days during the 7 day window as qualifying days where they force every shift overtime and allow as much overtime to the volunteers as they want (up to 5 1/2 hours). Your guys must be getting 4 days with 2 hours overtime each day (I asume). If that is the case, I don't see how to "force" the company's hand.

If that was BKLYN we would tell the men that are working to slow down to a crawl, and let the frieght back up untill they get the message. Roadway forces you to play dirty and we have no problem with backing up there freight.......Don't back down from there games, these are familys there playing with
