[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 216661, member: 10234"] I'm not disagreeing with you there. The point is they can afford to lose volume if they are paying much less than they are now. Besides....they could recover a lot of that volume over a period of time (years?). I'm looking at this from what I believe to be their perspective. The idea that a whole new group of employees can step right in and do the job we're doing now is ludicrous. PAS/EDD would make the transition a little easier, but if it doesn't work now, why would it work any better then? The fact is ....drivers working for $10-12 less per hour would more than make up for the inefficiency of the system. I'm guessing that they know it's costing more to get the work done now, but with cheaper labor the system inefficiencies become a moot point. After all, they could always tweak it after the fact or trash the whole thing. There's a lot of people out there that would like to have our job. But I don't think it's because we drive a big brown truck or that we work our butts off. It's the money. And a lot of them wouldn't do it for $15/hr. Especially when they found out it's more than "just driving around all day"! All they have to do is look at the pt'ers and how hard it is to keep them with what they're paid. Do they think driving jobs would be any different? Should be an interesting contract this time around. Or not. [/QUOTE]
