[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1008520, member: 32753"] A contract is a guideline, not a bible. It does not and was never meant to flesh EVERY SINGLE POSSIBLE scenario that comes up, and even ehere it does (like the aforementioned requesting 8hr days, or the "must take lunch between 3rd and 5th hour etc.), provided no one is immediately affected outside the two parties (driver and mgr) and nothing technically illegal going on, real life and flexibility should happen. And enough with the 'yellow drivers too afraid to stand up to mgmt'! I learned a lesson a long time ago: life is full of compromises; you pick your battles. I've been fired 3 times from this company; two times they had me dead-to-rights and the third time i was a rookie driver who didnt know nothin', but had been an all-star preloader. 'Standing my ground' on when i took my lunch and whining about other drivers blowing their money away by running their lunches did not save my job; putting my head down, getting it done, being known for having a smile when i shouldnt have one, being there willing to help when someone fell into a hard time, that saved me, and it came from the mouths from those who fired me, and really had nothing standing between them booting me out the door, not even the union. Layoff the rhetoric! It's tiring, and you aint getting anyone on your side with it. [/QUOTE]
