[QUOTE="FedExer267, post: 785826, member: 18716"] bbsam you are acting like a typical contractor in this scenario. I have kids that are fed with government help yes but that is because FedEx's business practices put me in this situation. I as you know don't get OT we don't get any bonuses what so ever from my Contractor even though we know he gets them. That being said DOT rules say I can work 70 hours a week that includes 2nd jobs as well. Trust me I have checked. If I am working 60 hours a week already who is going to hire me for 10 hours a week. Right, I have tried. The issue is what other job can you work 60 hours a week and still qualify for assistance, I should not have to. Thank you Vantexan by the way. For you bbsam just so you know how this typical ground guy spends his time after work, I do side work when I can find it. I am out every garbage night collecting recycables to get extra cash. My kids are fed, they have a roof over their head, they have clothes on their bodies, they are good students and very respectful kids. I do everything I can to make sure my kids are taken care of. The truly sad thing is I work 60 hours a week thats 20 hours a week OT 80 hours a month. Every month Contractors get 2 weeks free labor out of theiir workforce and like I said before its truly a sad day when a 60 hour week cant provide for you and your family. Nevermind we dont get benefits at all and its not like we can afford to buy our own package of benefits on what we get paid. I will not take my kids to a soup kitchen and have them eating dinner with bums and junkies if it was just me fine. I dont need my kids to see as long as I work at this place they wont get better. My kids brag about the fact their dad drives for FEDEX and I will never let them know the truth how this company runs. I just go along. [/QUOTE]
