[QUOTE="soberups, post: 658774, member: 14668"] The whole point behind PAS/EDD and Telematics is to "de-skill" the delivery job, eliminate the need for retention, de-value area knowledge, and turn each route into a homogenous, paint-by-the-numbers routine that can be preformed by a drone who is micromanaged online from behind a computer monitor. Why retain older, more injury-prone drivers when you can just plug fresh new hires into the "matrix" and send them on their way? And as far as "being paid in the 20's even without a union" goes....the hourly wage is only a small part of the package. That money isnt worth much without a pension...or decent benefits....or contractual gurantees of seniority, guranteed hours, paid holidays, bidding rights, a grievance procedure etc etc. What good is $25 an hour if your job has been subcontracted out or assigned to a lower seniority driver with a year-around helper?
