[QUOTE="BrownShark, post: 289666, member: 12148"] Ladies and Gentleman, Isnt this exactly the debate i tried to explain when I posted the thread on article 37 BEFORE the contract was passed by a few who decided to actually send their ballot back?? Everyone had a different understanding of the language each time they read it (including myself) and upon further examination, you will find that the language is of no help whatsoever. It gives the drivers false hope, but that was the intention. As i posted originally, the correct language should have been: "all full time drivers shall be granted TWO 8 Hour days per month excluding the months of November and December" This would have guaranteed the straight 8 (paid day) and no confusion or discipline would have to be applied. Instead, the Teamster leadership gave us a false hope and subjected us to further problems with managers who are unwilling to abide by the contractual intentions. Its the "intentions" that lose their teeth as soon as the agreement leaves the barganing table. No one at the barganing table "intended" anyone to be subjected to discipline or discharge over an 8 hour request, yet the ignorance of the unqualified managers will ruin the best of intentions. Its too bad that we will have to wait 5 years and 8 months to correct it. Peace.:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
