[QUOTE="kurtkampy, post: 934819, member: 31260"] When the porter positions where eliminated, they just made due with less people. There use to be a lot more detailing when cleaning, now there's a lot of area that get very dirty. My concern is the next contract. The last contract the company wanted to buy out the porter positions and the union wouldn't go for it. When the union bargains for the next contract, can they change the language and allow our positions to be bought out. I've talked to a former DIC employee and he said when that department was consolidated they were offered $1000 for every year employed. People that wanted to stay where offered a position in Tennessee. They finally offered a few other positions in the building. I don't want to be bought out. I came out of driving a year ago due to injuries and I wish to stay on a few more years. I did talk to the union and they said if our positions were eliminated I could go back into driving and be at the bottom of the list and never gain any bidding seniority. Therefore they could give me the crappiest route every day. I don't think the company would want a bunch of old fart porters coming back into driving. Therefore I'm hoping for an option at another job, or maybe have my job grandfathered until i'm ready to go. In Wisconsin the porters are teamsters but in one of the meetings one of the union officer said he didn't care what happened to our department since we were so small. Just some of my concerns, thanks for listening. Kurt Kampy [/QUOTE]
