[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 158478, member: 1957"] Was it greedy lawyers hoping to make a score or was it a company with a history of running their employees into the ground that inspired this lawsuit? If I recall correctly, a nationally known discount store (use your imagination) was recently investigated , and I believe sued, over the same intimidation, veiled threats and number juggling. I don't know what your "days of service" were between 1999 and 2006 but, just for conversation, let's use these numbers: 20 workdays per month times 12 months = 240 workdays per year 240 workdays times the aforementioned 7 years = 1680 workdays $3700 dollars divided by 1680 workdays = $2.20 a day, which isn't even close to what we make per hour for the hour of overtime that we've been screwed out of. This is, of course, assuming that no one never, ever worked off the clock which means they never came in early and groomed his load, helped the preloader, ran through lunch or did his turn-in off the clock to make production and time commits. I'm sorry but I think the persons who submitted their claim consider this to be "payback time". Is it a shame that this issue had to result in a lawsuit? No.....the people had to do something to get it to stop. Is it a shame that the company continued to overload drivers, continued to cuts routes, continued to deny "8 hour requests" while still expecting them to make production and adhere to strict time commitments and deadlines ("be in by 7:30 so you don't miss the air")? Yes. $2.20 a day is a drop in the bucket compared to what we, the hourly workers, have given/sacrificed to and for the company. Just my opinion.....your opinion may be different. [/QUOTE]
