[QUOTE="MostHelpNeeded, post: 3302195, member: 66806"] I always hear how we have unions to thank for 40 hour work weeks, weekends off, overtime, etc. You ever stop and think that maybe quality of life should be our generations fight? Maybe we should be try gaining a little ground instead of always conceding or going for the status quo...because that's 'the way of the world'? Perhaps we should try leading by example. Put another way, there is not a reason in hell I nor anyone else should be delivering cardboard at 10:30 at night. I've heard countless times that this will never be a 9-5 job. Fine, I agree. How about 8-6? Think outside the box a little. It's completely feasible. Start us at 8, if preloads not wrapped by the start time, send the loaders home and have the drivers finish. They already do that anyway, so that's a non issue. If management doesn't like paying us to load, then there's their incentive to get wrapped earlier. Stop with the damn add cutts everyday and leave the routes alone. I signed a bid with a start time 50 minutes earlier then I'm currently starting. Why is that allowed? I'm sorry but this.... [I]"I want to get home and have dinner with my family[/I] Equates to.... "I a willing to be a company punk, paying $400+ a week for insurance." ...Is one of the most asinine things I have ever read on here. Just because we want a life outside of work does not equate to that line of BS. [/QUOTE]
