[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1338463, member: 52978"] First of all, in my 29 years in feeders I never tucked my tail anywhere. I once cussed a division manager out to his face at our guard shack, and called him every name in the book. Anyone who knows me knows I don't cow down to anyone of them tie wearin bamboozlers. Point I was making was, when they make up excuses like "We called in independents because we couldn't get anybody to work to cover the problem." How you going to check up on them? Talk to everyone who was on call at that very moment when the call had to be made? I think not. You going to run to the center manager and say you don't think dispatch is telling the truth. Do you think center manager is going to throw the dispatcher under the bus? Even if he does find the dispatcher didn't do everything to assure a bargaining unit employee got a shot at getting his 60 hours, do you think he's going to report that back you? if you were an employee who got laid off and an independent worked, it would behoove you to give your due diligence and look out for yourself. Don't depend upon me or anybody else to be sure you get your hours. Besides, I don't have a tail anymore. My wife chewed mine off many years ago. [/QUOTE]
