[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1386669, member: 28388"] If they're calling people because they are over their planned numbers looking to get rid of people they cannot force you to use your time before a dead day as they are soliciting it and they are supposed to do it by seniority. I don't know why you guys allow your center manager to make all his own rules up there like different start times every day for drivers and random local policies. In New England the union doesn't like us to use dead days though because it screws both the pension fund and the health and welfare fund out of company contributions. We still have several people out on dead days everyday anyway (who usually have time left to use) and they break seniority everyday. When I was a cover guy they would call a bid route guy with only about 10 years in and offer him a dead day at least 3 times a week instead of calling the 30+ year people because they knew he'd always say yes and because they would rather put me on the route instead of him because he supposedly was milkin' it. I would coast through the day taking my time and shooting the :censored: with the customers and still be in two hours earlier than him. They started referring to it as my route because I ran his route more than he did. My wife would freak out if I ever took half the week off like him. [/QUOTE]
