[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 4866648, member: 14596"] Sorry, you're fighting upstream against human nature. You are wrong. The team concept in the 90's was UPS changing the culture, and they did see. Got kicked in the teeth. Is funny, some of the IBT propaganda undermining the team concept said to members you don't need a work team, you have the teamsters. Forced the company to change the language on training materials from work teams to work groups half way through. Look, I know you believe what you're saying, but in most instances, your are wrong. During an upswing in the constant production cycle, I remember a push to cut routes and put more stops on the car. One of the best CMs I ever worked with had had enough. He refused to cut 3 routes even though he'd been directly ordered to. On a Friday. He gave one of the most heartfelt PCMs I've ever heard. Told his drivers he knows the routes were getting too big, and he was taking a stand but he needed their help. Bring it in, reduce the paid day so he could defend himself and show it works. Several of them did. Most of them friend*kd him. Planned under 8 paid over 9.5 went off the charts and he got roasted. I wish the world was the way you think it is and that fostering a team culture with hourlies would work and be allowed by the IBT. That's just not the way the world works [/QUOTE]
