Visitor here. We’ve hired half dozen new, younger city guys this year. As these greenhorns seem to think they deserve the newer trucks, good routes, etc. I wonder if this behavior isn’t a union deterrent. You know, where seniority is real & enforceable.
Edit: T Force having 30 & out is news to me. IMO, 30 & out and pension is the job to get as a young man. Unfortunately, in today’s separate & conquer contract negotiations, a new hire has no guarantee the current terms will remain. Offer enough to those hired before the year that makes the math work, company can rob the rest, i.e. step rate/less max rate or City hourly vs Line mileage.
