[QUOTE="Teddy Bear, post: 269063, member: 11601"] If memory serves...and it probably doesn't, but I am sure someone will correct me where I am wrong....one of our past Presidents....was it Jimmy Carter? was responsible for the overtime glitch (for lack of a better word). When my husband started with OVERNITE it was OT after 45 or 46...it is now OT after 42 I believe and in 2008 will either be after 40 or 41. These are WORKING hours. Paid vacation and holidays do not count. One again I will say that if he got paid OT after 8 our income would increase by leaps and bounds. Not because he is one of those that wants 48 to 50 hours a week but because thats what his city route entails. He works 9 to 13 hours every day. And weeks like this one with two days off - he will more than likely work 13 hours all 3 days. Also if you remember the cost of living raise last year was eaten up by increased medical insurance. We did not see 1 cent of last years raise. With the increased fuel cost (which truckers know raises the cost of EVERYTHING else) our pay is buying less and less. Food costs more, clothing...it has all gone up except the pay... No one has said much about the Indy contract. Just wondering how that is working out for them. [/QUOTE]
