You must’ve attended the Triplex School of Taxation. His star pupil I assume.

I guess they don't understand progressive taxation.

Because it keeps abf from hiring more driver's.Why not just pay us more.

Overtime is good business practice.
It is much cheaper to pay overtime than to hire a new employee. SOR likes to point out that pension and H&W cost the company $800 a week per employee. Vacations, sick days and holidays are paid days with no productivity. Don't hire that new employee and don't pay that money. Work the people you have as much as you can.
Don't blame the company. If they put up list offering a sixth day, they will have more than enough volunteers.

Two posts in a row that actually makes sense. Never thought I would see that day.

Do you know of any ltl where the great majority of drivers regularly and consistently work just 40 hours per week?

I hear at Old Dominion they only do 49.5

Be careful, I dont want to read that you passed away after falling down the elevator shaft at the union offices.

Never going near the Union Hall or a Tractor Trailer ever again

And listen to all the crying about that from so many. Go figure.

Blade I had to give you a "like" on this one, just don't get used to it.

Sounds to me like you should follow these “young people” to what ever Freight company they are going to. Be sure and let us know how that fully paid pension/health & welfare works out for you over there. Not to mention the grievance process. You do of course realize that your pension/health & welfare are paid on your behalf at a rate of over $800 a week. These “young people” that leave for higher wages will soon realize how much better off they were at ABF when theirs or their wife or child’s health deteriorates. Believe me when I tell you the health and welfare is worth it’s weight in gold.
And I don’t know about what pension fund you are with that cuts your pension in half at age 57. I am in Central States, and our pension is reduced by 6% for each year you are shy of 62. If I retire at age 62, my pension will be just shy of $5000 a month. Tell me what other freight employer will pay for your pension and let you retire at age 57 with full pension. For that matter, what other freight employer will pay for yours and your families healthcare plan?

You never side with the worker. A paying customer use to never be wrong. Number one job for highschool educated is truck driving. I see why company and union take advantage of drivers.

You do get paid more if you work overtime...

Dude, I am one of the workers!!!
I am a steward, but like every other steward I know, I have a job to do at ABF as well. Just like you do!!!

 

[Brassballs]

I do need a better job. I once ran for an position was told there not working with me. I'm not a good bser, Office worker's loe manipulate runs, all crazy people here.

Is assclown a real person? He sounds like one of those new A I bots.

You can retire at 57 without being penalized as long as you have 30 years…..

Is that central states? What about keeping the insurance until 65? I will be 57 with 30 years. I thought the 30 and out was gone

To you people that keep singing everything is beautiful, nothing wrong here. Why is abf keeping there older workforce longer? Abf only will change when they half to. New people are not staying.
