Where's those darn drones when you need a couple thousand of them?
I bet their auto frequency just sky rocketed with all those sups running airs. If they figured out how to use the fobs.

I told my sup the trucks were voice activated starters. He kept trying the "start engine" command.

You know they know how to use the FOBS since they run trips every week. Complete BS. They cut trips, and then sups run garbage trips out to clean-up the Center. Most of the guys I work with are spineless and only a few of us have the balls to put grievances in, and yet they think they're entitled to bitch about it without acting on it. ugh. I hate my job anymore, and the "company".

I got paid approximately $1300.00 and another driver $1100.00 for one grievance each for sups running our routes one week.
You get past the fear factor and the pay is pretty darn good.

Great youtube video. Not sure I can post it, but if you want to see it, search for Local 804 WALKOUT.

Haven't had any fear to drop a grievance on my center manager's desk in a long time. I have 8 in since January 1st. What pisses me off are the guys I work with. Most of them cry about the dispatches and getting bumped off of their trips, but NEVER do anything about it! They always say "I don't want to paint a target on my back". What?! Then be a pushover, and shut up then. Either grab your sack and put the ink to paper, or shut up. So sick of them. We're seeing historic dispatches that are higher than any Peak I've ever worked, and a handful of us are the only ones making noise. If you're afraid to drop a grievance because you "don't want to paint a target on your back", then what you're really telling me is "I do stuff I should't do and don't want to get caught".

I watched the you tube and it sounded like they fired the driver for starting before his start time and that was dishonest. To me that means he was performing work before his start time, if I remember what the old timers said R Carey would chase drivers off the line before their start time and chew them out. If it is what it appears this guy pulls a walk out!

I've noticed that when I look at the dockets. It seems like there are some real goofballs affiliated with that TDU local.

I actually had to ask my DM if he had a crush on me in 72 meeting. If he does he's got a funny way of showing it. I tried to throw a spin into the impromptu fashion show he requested but office was standing room only. Whats next ? Turning the boxline into a cat walk. If they weren't out to build a dormer on my discipline file I'd hit a thrift store this weekend and pick up a classic powder blue tux. They just couldn't leave this sleeping bear alone! I was the subject of the most pathetic attempt of on-road observation I have ever seen this morning right out of the gate. Blew their cover coming off the exit ramp before first nda del. Only thing missing from DM and Sup were those glasses with eye brows and big nose. After 2 hours I actually lost interest in their cat and mouse game. It's amazing how much time and money they will waste looking for a missed handrail grab or not pulling in mirror. Here's my tip of the day to management, pppsstt its not the guys who will battle you every time you come at them that you need to be lookin at, you stare at the screen so much watching my day your eyes are going to be poached eggs soon. I know this and counter with display of safe proper delivery methods. It's the guys who try to blend in and come back early running the routes and scarfing down your bagels that you may want to dig your shovels into their telematics reports. You focus all your energy and resources on your "target". The "target" takes all the heat and unbelievable things slip right under your nose. After all, At least they could thank me for that. Well my presses are inked up and ready! Sorry for the rant people, I've been through a lot and this time I'm heading to the matresses! Good night

Commenting on hostile work environment. It can be anything that makes you want to quit your job that isn't a part of the job. The problem is that only a protected class can file in court because otherwise its not harassment. Pretty friend'ed up if you are a white male because you can be harassed all day long and its only jerk behavior.
I do want to say hats off to these guys. my local are bought and sold to the company.

back pay and a strong local. When you have rank and file drivers willing to go to bat and put their livelihoods on the line because one of their brothers is getting jammed up unfairly and they're willing to go that far, gets done. It's only illegal if you lose and you ain't gonna lose when a few hundred drivers are walking out of one of the biggest centers in the country.804's biggest mistake was having the President and Sec. Treasurer lean on those drivers as hard as they did. They shouldn't have gone back to work until the driver in question was put back to work.

That's a little unfair. It's more like 40% 804, 40% 177, 10% from the local in Oakland and that last 10% the rest of the country.

What do you think are the chances this type of action would be taken by your local or any of the others?

Slim to none. You got to have brass balls to do what these drivers did. My hats off to them and I wish them the best.
