[QUOTE="soberups, post: 788301, member: 14668"] I would speculate that the original poster is in a "right to work" state where the union representation for the drivers is either weak or non existant. Most of the abusive practices he describes do not occur here and would not be tolerated here. My local (162) provides excellent representation to the membership. Grievances are processed in a timely and assertive manner, and my Business Agent appears at our various work locations on a weekly basis to answer questions and discuss ongoing issues with the local management. We still have issues, of course, and there will always be management people who try to circumvent the contract in order to make their numbers look better....just as there will always be employees who wind up getting fired for breaking the rules. I can truthfully say that, at least in my location, virtually all of the terminations that have been upheld over the years have been justified. I dont like the harassment and the dishonesty and the corporate BS any more than the next guy does....but I have developed a thick enough skin over the years that I can overlook it for the most part. Its not personal, its business. And, if push comes to shove, I know that I can make my supervisor more miserable than he can ever make me. Fortunately, it never seems to have to come to that.
