[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 363194, member: 13254"] If you really think the drivers were all about more money, you are listening to the wrong people. The strike was more over the pension being given to the company (yes just as it is now) and few drivers felt that was a good choice. The pension is about the future not today,And guess what, the pension is for preloaders too. The lose of education money was about public stock, not the contract nor the strike. There is something the drives like about their jobs, it's called a fair days pay for a fair days work, and most of the complaining on this forum is because the "fair days work" has morphed into a "fair day and a half work, for a fair days pay". Add to that the inconsistencies coming from the company and you have poor driver morale and bitching. Add to that preloaders that the bulk of their training consists of "Just get it in the right truck, if it's on the right shelf even better". We have PT sups "leading" preloaders that have no idea how to actually load a truck themselves, much less know how to train anyone. Id it any wonder why drivers are unhappy? Granted ,there are many drivers on here that have good attitudes. Some because they happen to work in a center that has a good over all management team, some in spite of having a poor team. Before you start accusing any drivers of being lazy, maybe you should follow one around for a day, if you make though the day then you might have a right to comment on their work ethics. [/QUOTE]
