Did the 97' Strike affect any of you here?

[clean hairy]

One of the issues was that the Company wanted Drivers to purchase their own trucks.
Another was more full time jobs, the saying during the strike on the line I was somewhere, "half a job, not enough!"

 

[upschuck]

Maybe but I did want to set your froggy little butt straight.

That's not nice. All I know, is those days before the strike were some of the easier delivery days I had. Less bulk, less volume, less stops.

I was probably a runner-gunner too.

Which probably accounts for your new walker, and you only did that for a year.

I have never heard this before.
I think somebody was pulling your leg.
FedEx Ground was not relevant until after the 97 strike.

Hit a nerve?

I know. He's pretty defensive seems to me. I learned not to be that way when one of them came at me about their BS numbers!

Hmmmm ... I really don't know.

It was more like 2 years and I think the 40 plus years of playing, practicing and training for competitive tennis had much more to do with it.

You're being that way!
Not only that, I mentioned no numbers except the 340 manual.
Please try and keep up.

Sorry about the misspelling. I didn't think I got that one right. Was just a little before my time.

Back on subject.

After we came back from the strike . They gave every single driver a 3 day ride.

Were you any good? I play a little, and could probably beat you now.

You mentioned running scratch, which is a number.

You mentioned running scratch, which is a number.

Management always run scratch. Regardless of how long it takes them. Because of the code they use.

Not here. Everything went back to normal, don't really recall anything changing, except we didn't get the cheap tickets to the theme park that was close by anymore.

They put the hammer down on us. It wasn't very pretty here,during the strike.

 

[upschuck]

Here, management didn't want anyone to cross the line. I don't think there was any really bad feelings on either side. Both sides knew what had to be done, and they did it.

They were taunting us here. Couple of crazy weeks. Did get a lot of beer drinking done!

If you can walk fast and move your feet, I'm pretty sure you can beat me now.
I was 5th in the state of Georgia when I was 36 (Mens 35) and when I was 41 (Mens 40).
My partner and I have played together as double's partners since 1980.
