IT got to where you had to be a favorite of management to make bonus.
They would change items on the time card to keep the driver from making more than a couple of bucks a week.
One of the major items was apartment buildings.
If you had an apartment complex that got say 30 deliveries a day, and after attempting each one, you had to leave them all at the office, that counted only as one stop. You actually made 31 stops, but could only count them as 1. The golden boys learned really fast only to take them to the office without attempting the actual delivery. That caused the regular drivers problems because after three days of sitting in the office, the regular driver had to go back by to leave another notice.
Anyway, management raised all sorts of heck, made all sorts of threats, intimidated many drivers. That only made them more determined to vote it out.
Best thing we ever did for driver moral and getting back to doing the job correctly by the methods.
And after management got over their hissyfit, it was back to business.
The vote was done through the union. Majority carried the vote. I think we had almost 85% against.

Do you know of other locations where this has happen. I wonder if it could be done on a national level?
