[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 256614, member: 4777"] And the proposed contract has weak language on gps. people, this is going to be the worst part of the contract imho. I wouldnt think so if nobody but the crappiest of drivers who are doing cardinal sins who really dont care but this isnt the case. They are gunning for anyone making any small mistake or misunderstanding. Like someone else said, who cares about the pension lanuage if you get fired for an issue on gps.
