[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5083617, member: 77939"] Sometimes you win...sometimes not. We worked at a medium size hub. We had cpu to a certain area/areas. Other Hubs had theirs....sometimes for hundreds of miles. We had other Hubs come into our area and take volume directly back to their hubs because it was going there anyway. We mostly lost volume to other hubs...rarely being able to "follow" work. Our runs would "disappear" and "appear" other places. The Union rarely did much of anything....despite clear circumstances. The Company pretty much does what it needs to. In the end.....our hubs feeder operations were split between two mega hubs and cpu work is done for our old hub by them. Just like that. Following work to either of these hubs was done by seniority and tough luck if you got screwed. Some having to double their commutes. Or worse. This is called change of operation and can include just about anything...including by "local agreement".....this means despite the written language the Company and Union can change/agree to just about anything. I have seen it done many times. I've seen feeder drivers allowed to dovetail hundreds of miles despite not having a clear run. Again, hundreds screwed for a few. My only comment to this is about Feeder Managers.....I have yet to encounter one that cares about volume/employees. My experience has been that they try to shed as much volume and drivers as possible. Adding as few as possible. This cuts down on training and all that goes with it. This make s mgt.s life a lot easier. They will do as much as possible to achieve such. [/QUOTE]
