[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1157566, member: 43436"] The Teamsters have gradually conceded the ability for the Company to use seasonal, cover & temporary drivers at a wage of one-half the FTers; they've also increased what's considered to be "seasonal" to be more than half the year. At the end of the contract, the wage will be significantly less than one-half what a regular FT driver earns, even though the Company can put more work on them without concern for 9.5 violations. People who've driven seasonally for 10 years earn the same, flat wage. Yes, I agree with you on one thing: it's simple economics. There's only so much $$$ to go around and the employees who've retired have continually voted to raid the pot. Take, take, take. Don't give me this Brotherhood B.S. If a contract came to vote that paid drivers $150,000/year -- but earned new drivers a cap of $25/hour earned over a 10-year progression, and capped PT pay at $14/hour, the FTers would overwhelmingly vote for it. It's all about greed. [/QUOTE]
