[QUOTE="no29.5, post: 252792"] $170.00 a week is what all of us lived on as part timers and I never had the repoman visit me or threaten to visit me. Perhaps you are living beyond your means. If only you would understand that driving a package cars is not all that great and it is certainly not what you want to do 12 hours a day. Right now as a part timer you can go to the doctor or the dentist or have lunch with your girlfriend. The day you start driving you can toss all that out the window. That is what your option days are for. You dont get a day off....you just get a day off of work and then have to take care of all the things you have been piling up around your home. However if a REAL 9.5 rule was implemented we could do a lot of those things in the evenings and not wasting the weekend. I had to shut down my swamp cooler last week...So there I was at 10:00 at night crawling around on my roof with a headlamp on to get it done when most every other guy in the neighborhood got home at 5:30 and didnt have to worry about dark closing in on them. Then they were able to sit down with their family and have a nice dinner and then watch TV. I get home, pull a cold dinner out of the fridge and eat it in front of the TV watching the 10:00 news knowing I have only 10 hours to sleep eat again and go back to work. What kind of life is that? All because your Manager cant do his job properly. Dont anyone start with the do your job faster bit either....I run scratch. Strong 9.5 language will get him to do his job and get me home to a warm meal more often than not. I am more than willing to work late when it is called for...but not when the two junior drivers in my loop are home by 6:00 and I am staring down the barrel of 50 stops at 6:00. That is why I suggest that overtime be forced from the bottom up or offered to senior employess. You should be able to place the Operation report next to the senority list and the lowest rank (and lowest paid) employee should have the most hours and up the list to the highest senority guy working 8 hours. It only makes since from a company standpoint to have the lower paid guys work the most hours and the highest paid work the least. That is how my parents ran their business. They were very sucessful with this plan. Vote YES if you want the company to control your life.... Vote NO if you want some control over your life and have one..... [/QUOTE]
