The question is, getting OT after 8/40 better then someone getting more per hour with no OT or after 50hrs.I have considered that for both for union and nonunion because that’s what you have to look at not just the hourly rate. Someone can say they make $42 an hour but they don’t get O/T till after 50 or they contribute a gob sum of their insurance cost weekly.
Take for instance some union carriers make less hourly but they don’t pay for retirement or healthcare. When you add that in their total compensation exceeds ours .
When you look at some non union carriers the hourly rate is higher but they don’t get overtime after 8 or 40 and that pay a large amount of their insurance premium and fund their own retirement.

One of the Ct. drivers said they are making close to $37, seems high ???3.5 percent. April 1.
It’s probably because their a metro region terminal. There is a wide variance from terminal to terminal.One of the Ct. drivers said they are making close to $37, seems high ???

I make $33 and XHG which is not metro makes 4% more then I and OV-10 make. So seeing 37 is no surprise. We were told that XHG is more important then us even though there cost of living is lessIt’s probably because their a metro region terminal. There is a wide variance from terminal to terminal.
A lot had to do with where the company had a unionization threat or were union and needed to bribe them into decertification. Also how difficult it is to hire people in the area factored into it .
As an example, you can see Albany, New York shows a top rate of 37.15
What's not funny is OV-10 is in Philadelphia Pa. It doesn't get anymore metro then that and he's not getting metro pay. If fact I think the country bumpkins is XHG make more then he does

$37.15 Is top rate in Albany. They still can’t get enough help. We have been sending two drivers every day to run in the city. Drivers with one year experience are coming on at top rate as well.

It mainly at terminals that had threat of unionization.WOW, must be nice to make that pay rate over there, while doing the same work over here. Great way to keep the morale and camaraderie up and going. No wonder everyone is sooo happy lately...
More not able to hire drivers, nothing to do with the union.It mainly at terminals that had threat of unionization.
Will agree to disagree on that Point and leave it at that.More not able to hire drivers, nothing to do with the union.
