[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 581079, member: 22610"] The crux of the problem is drivers succumbing to the fear of reprisal for filing a 9.5 grievance. If a manager had told me to remove my name from any list for fear of becoming a target, I would first say, take your best shot. The next move would be to speak with a steward, the third step would be to fill out the harrassment grievance. Such threats by management are not tolerated, either by those above them, nor by the union. It takes drivers standing up to management to beat the 9.5 problem. I can recall back in the old days, when excessive dispatch was defined as three consecutive dispatches in excess of 10 hours, that the same fear tactics were used. If you file a grievance, I'll be gunning for you. Truth is, I'm still here, and they are all gone. And the company never violates the 9.5 rule with me. They know the consequences, and choose not to go there. [/QUOTE]
