Whatever dude. The demand for PTO of any kind is low in January, nevermind I let my center manager know if someone really wants that week I am perfectly willing to move the week to another, it's no big deal. Another thing, since when is being concerned about one's family, I.e. "someone else", selfish. I understand your point of view, but also realize it is dogmatic, judgemental, rigid "brothers" like yourself who are looking for "victims" that do not exist to try and shame others for your POV that'll make the already monumental effort to make unions more relevant and appealing to the masses that much more difficult. Kudos to you.
P.S. I like the approach my local has taken to combat a thorn in the sides of many here. Rather than attack "me-sters" for skipping their lunches, the union is proposing the company allow drivers to have the option to take half a lunch and be paid for the rest. Speaking to the needs of those on the street, even without having to be asked to.
