[QUOTE="clarnzz, post: 510166, member: 17250"] Davenport, IA (only hub/center in the state under 710) Things had been going well and recently became a mess. We had been going down the seniority list daily with people taking voluntarily layoffs. This just today came to an abrubt end when our steward convinced a high seniority driver to file on "8 hours dispatched over 9.5" to receive pay on a day he took voluntary layoff. Bascially this pissed off our center manager, so he said no more days off for the top and I am laying off from the bottom. A lot of anymosity in the workforce right now: - Low seniority drivers who are now out of work (5 of us for the rest of this week) - Drivers not at risk of layoff who enjoyed getting a day off per week from going down the list. Personally I am a little pissed because the dispatch over 9.5 was only around 10 hours so even then it could only force them to put in 1 more route, which won't happen anyways since they are just going to make sure to spread out the dispatch a little more to make sure they stay under 8 hours discpatched over 9.5. All this grievience is going to accomplish is a high seniority driver got a paid day off and now 5 of us are out of work. Well done, eh? [/QUOTE]
