Our ORION team is so arrogant and full of themselves it's hilarious

[Orion inc.]

Unions promoted the middle class.

Exactly. And the reason the economy has such a hard time is because the middle is shrinking and being replaced with low bottom service jobs. Notice when the economy was at an all time productive high, union membership was flourishing. Now it's dying and I believe we are the last of the good paying blue collar jobs left.

But like everything in every type of environment, the balance will eventually shift. People can only take so much

Yet you will take that teamster pension.....

....and a rather good one at that.
He can move to a lower cost of living state and live like a king.

I wonder how many retiring, non-union members can do that?

agree 100%, you have stated in previous posts you always turn off orion and go odo, have you gotten any warning letters ?

Nope. They dont even discuss ORION compliance with me.

Petty arguments aside. We can all admit (that means you dave) management is prone to harassment as a technique to drive production. Without the union that harassment would be much worse.

When was RDI and how long did it last?
What programs has Ups put in that turned out the way they were planned?

What is RDI? Is that the same as Rural Remote? If so, rural remote worked very well until mgt began to use it as a dispatch tool.

Our local management team will work with those drivers who may be having production issues. If their efforts are unsuccessful they will press the issue to the point where it could be considered harassment.

I have Googled "pension friendly states" and was surprised as to how long that list was. New York is obviously not on that list but with a new granddaughter I am most likely going to stay.

Probably the same amount that bash, and subvert the union at every turn.....but run to it at the first sign of a heavy hand from the company.......quite a few
