And they are just going to hand us all of these things because????? How much do you know about UPS? Its not a good job because of UPS......
We had a quarterly meeting not long ago. They stated we have the best wages etc,etc. I stated we don't even have the best wages for the non-union carriers. Their reply was that our wages are competitive. The best and competitive are two different things.

It is a my daddy can beat up your daddy kind of thing...Adn trust me they love that because we will never be UNITED....I try to respect all you guys but man fellas, quit the petty B.S.....
You're lucky I can't understand this post. JK. I'm just pointing out the obvious, never knew thier wages were an issue until now. Just want an example of the standard "we" are looking for, did not mean to offend. By the way, are you trying to raise your post count GT? Just kidding.

You call Overnite {UPSF} a sub-standard wage. Now that's funny...
Skeeter,

I was refering to the wages your company was paying back in 94 compared to Teamster wages. By the way....have you thanked the Teamsters for your wage increases?

Val,

thanks for sticking up for me. As most of the Mods and members of this forum know, I respect their opinions. However when somone (no matter who it is or what side of the fence they are on) gives false information I will be certain to give the matter my fullest attention and try to correct the mistake. When someone disagrees with me I will debate them in an intelligent manner. Now having said that, let me say this.

I was afforded the opportunity of viewing the DVD this week for myself. Having been an employee of Suggs and McKenzie in the past, I swore after they left Preston, if I ever saw either of them again, I would spit in their face. So now that I've cleaned off my monitor, all I can say is it reminded me exactly of what they told us at Preston when they wanted us to give back some of our wages to "save" the company. Suggs and McKenzie "PROMISED" us that after 3 years of salary concessions, we would be brought back to full union scale. Ultimately what happened after that 3rd year was that they told us they couldn't afford to bring us back to scale but could keep us "frozen" at 5% less than scale. And a year later, when we had new contract negotiations, they managed to get a "Preston Contract" keeping us below the prevailing wages. So forgive me if these men have left a sour taste in my mouth, but there is nothing either of them could ever say that I would believe. Maybe we (Preston People) should have gotten their "promise" in writing. :duh:

I agree with Skeeter. There wasn't anything "Sub-Standard" about our wages back then or now. It is all in the eyes of the beholder.

Overnite's vision is to be the most successful company in the industry, with the best facilities and equipment. With this success, overtime, will come the best jobs in terms of job security, wages, benefits, and job satisfaction.

In my opinion Overnite has made good on this vision over the years. Is or has everything been perfect? NO... but this is not a perfect world we live in.

You know something I would have to agree with this comment!!!!!:holysheep: :holysheep:

or was it the best equipment? We all have old junk, but your trailers are the worst!
MC trailers????? Well this is highly debatable but I can appreciate your dislike.....But this was not my point and besides our trailers are your trailers and your trailers are ours.....So what is the point?????

Just figured out from another thread that you don't belong to the disfunctional family and just throwing in your 2 cents? And yes there are many crappy trailers.....
 
Boats said:
Serta our trailers are the worst. But your tractors are the worst.:biglaugh:
You got that right! They've been slowly getting rid of them, but for every 100 they buy, we need 150, so the process is slow. Always said we must be the toughest sob's to drive them across the cross bronx:chairshot: :nutkick: <---thats what it feels like going through there!

Over the last 5 years &quot;O&quot; has been on a downwards spiral spin to total embarrassment!
