[QUOTE="959Nanook, post: 823014, member: 14462"] My last post was really not directed at 705red personally... I am happy for the Teamsters that are in jurisdictions where 9.5 is working for Teamsters who file on it. Aside from the fact that I live in a jurisdiction where explicit groups of drivers were excluded in accordance with language in the NMA that authorized the Teamsters to do so AFTER we all voted on the NMA, I am also in a jurisdiction where 9.5 implementation is spotty at best for those allowed to file. The intimidation for even going on the 9.5 list is enough that many drivers won't even go on the list unless they are in the bottom half of seniority and just absolutely tired of the excessive overtime. Frankly, there are times where I just want to be on a darn 11.5 list or maybe even a 12 list some weeks (the only saving grace on those weeks is that I am GUARANTEED a short day on Friday when my DOT hours run out) which in my opinion is one of the biggest weaknesses of 9.5... it is an all or nothing proposition that causes an immense amount of animosity in the brotherhood.
