[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 805277, member: 5529"] Earlier this week I actually complimented management in another thread for calling us at home and telling us not to come in with the storm rolling in on us. What I did not know until Thursday when I went in was that the guys who were already at work were not allowed to go. They were held onto for 12+ hours. The storm really began kicking in at 3pm and some of these guys didn`t get out until after 9pm! The majority (all) of us don`t live across the street so they then faced a ride home of as much as 3 hours for some. Why the hell they didn`t set a time to close up operations and get employees on their way home at a decent hour in the same storm I was sitting comfortably at home in is beyond me. This pisses me off to no end right now because one of those drivers after being kept 12 hours then tried to get home and ended up in a ditch in the process. He made it home after almost 4 hours and then while most of us were warm at home he had to spend the next day getting his car home. I won`t speculate the stress and anger over the two incidents played any factor but this driver came in on Friday morning, told those in the cafeteria of what went on,still visibly upset, and then went out to begin his day only to suffer what at this point is believed to have been a heart attack and dropped there in the yard before he even so much as turned a wheel. The last I was informed was that his family had pulled the plug last night. This guy was a friend of mine, a senior driver who took time to help out a rookie long ago. The fact that he and others were not sent home at a decent hour in the face of a blizzard that the national weather service and the state police classified as "dangerous and potentially life threatening" is something I am taking personal. I don`t know if something will have to be done with the union or what but there should be rules as far as dealing with this kind of situation for ALL employees, hourly and management. [/QUOTE]
