[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1228430, member: 14176"] In my building we call them "the dive team". There is a defined group of drivers who have no problem getting up, getting dressed, driving to work, only to turn around and go home without pay. I've actually seen them argue amongst themselves and even involve the steward as to who should have the opportunity not to work. Management knows this and plays them to their advantage. These drivers are the ones perpetuating this phenomenon and I'm not quite sure what can be done about it. Once upon a time helpers weren't allowed until Thanksgiving, now they start using them Nov. 1. These seemingly small concessions that have been conceded in recent contracts, cumulatively cost us dearly in the grand scheme of things. That's why I voted no on this latest contract, over and above the healthcare issues. We really need to start reading the fine print along with the bottom line. The devil is often in the details.
