[QUOTE="35years, post: 2518419, member: 60822"] I understand, your still new. If I don't come in on Saturday I won't be dispatched with 70 more stops on Monday than if I did 70 stops on Saturday. The volume will certainly shift to other drivers, or I will simply bring them back. Not working Saturday would actually make Monday easier for me since I will be dispatched with the same amount of stops either way, but they would be tighter geographically if I don't do them Saturday. Don't believe everything management tells you. As to the contention that we can't get it done working 5 days a week in December... They put forth that line in 2013 when they understaffed. After the media fallout from all the service failures they had no problem getting it done in 5 days in 2014 with higher staffing levels. We are basically short staffed year round now. It is just more apparent during peak. Our average planned day non-peak over the years has gone from 8.3 to 8.8 to 9.2 to 9.4. Stop buying the management line that we can't expand our permanent workforce, you just sound naive. It's about corporate greed. [/QUOTE]
