[QUOTE="HFolb23, post: 4227314, member: 55674"] Our Feeder jobs haven’t changed at all, their hours are the same as far as any of them have told me. We’ve simply lost the positions, the same routes are now leaving from the Hub but still serving the same destinations. To make a comparison, all of the similar sized centers in our district have between 8-15 feeder runs. Having 3 out of our building is not consistent with the rest of our region, and historically is half of what we used to have. We had 2 feeder drivers retire, and one leave on disability. None of the routes were ever rebid, and therefore were re-written to work out of the Hub and not our center. Everyone that I have talked to in the feeder department has been in agreement that it makes sense to re-write the routes and have them staffed out of our center, however my concern is that we haven’t been talking to big enough fish. Hoping that changes after some phone calls were made today but in this area our feeder runs are almost all overnight so I don’t expect to hear anything back until later this evening at the earliest, as that’s when the feeder management works. I’m hoping to hear something that either says, “we’re going to move deeper with this” or a “sorry they’re staying in the Hub” by the end of the week. You know what they say about hoping in one hand and :censored:ting in the other though. Any more advice or course of action we can take is greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
