[QUOTE="Cole, post: 207424, member: 9507"] My brother Red, You know I have great respect for you and the brethren in Local 705 who have been there and back, and have and are making a stand for the better, and I am fully aware of the "open door" policy which is the only way we get air in the cabs, but we are in the year 2007 and most trucks have no power steering, nor any real ventilation and most trucks leak badly when it rains which tells us this company's management only cares about their bonuses and nothing about it's work force that keeps everything rolling. (Electronics+water=[B]damage[/B] could be why they lost Dell. The magmnt have no pr skills and customers that have dealt with them hate them, so we have to always cool them down, and promise better days. OSHA rules say it is unsafe over 110 degrees etc.. yet we have clocked our trucks at roughly 140 degrees, and it is time we demand they deal with it, or we make their dirt a big issue! Yes we make descent hourly, but it does my family no good if we are damaged from the [B]excessive heat[/B] while mangmnt sits in climate controlled offices whinning about bogus numbers. Sorry for going off a bit Red as it's not aimed at you as much as it is the collective body that is greatly effected by mangments greed, so if we sit back and take it, it will keep on as usual. It is time for direct action tactics which this group "leading" our union is incapable of. What price tag does brain damage have? If you get in a sauna or jacuzzi it says to stay in it no longer than 10 minutes which is roughly 110 degrees, our trucks in summer are much hotter, so we are less important than our Diads?!:ohmy: They blame the workers but in reality we are working like a generic company, so by mngmnt standards we should take the "s" out and just be UP. We care about the customers but the managorial machine has no clue, and our customers know it. Makes one wonder if they aren't trying to bankrupt it, because they have no clue hw trhe customers define service, and it's not based on our managers bonuses! [/QUOTE]
