[QUOTE="35years, post: 3024325, member: 60822"] This is the softening up meeting in anticipation of the contract. 1:Competition = -SPIN- We don't have money to give you a raise and/or extra pension and heath care cotributions. Our competition is eating our profits. Besides their drivers make less than you. -REALITY- Record profits. Exexective compensation has increased 10 fold. We got 2.5% anually. Our health care is far worse than 10, 20, 30 years ago. Our pensions pay a smaller % compared to our annual wages and are failing. 2: Flexibility:= -SPIN- Competition works 365 days a year so we have to. We need consesions on the old rules paying time and a half or double time for weekend work and 6th/seventh shifts. -REALITY- We have already had our start times moved back; Our shifts are far longer; And our Saturdays are gone during peak. Peak, by the way used to be Thanksgiving to Christmas, not November 1 to January 15th. We have already given up so much family time that the jobs are hard to fill, when there used to be 40 applicants for each position. [/QUOTE]
