[QUOTE="AssistantSanta, post: 905858, member: 38503"] yessir. Well, company choose to utilize helpers and union drivers are bickering about filing grievance, how they don't like that helpers getting used before higher cost drivers are given more work. It doesn't take much thought to put two together that dollar-for-dollar, off the street helpers add more production than using union inflated rate employees. If it didn't make financial sense to do so, corporate would put a halt on this itself, but the fact costlier employees are throwing a hissy fit through the union personnel over helpers shows helpers add enough value to operations to permit reducing the use of high rate employee. What I had no idea until now is how much of the restrictions against helpers are caused by road blocks made by the union. That's the impression I got. Which means even off peak, around-the-year helper would permit some routes to be consolidated and cram more stops on the truck while still being able to meet same production quota while reducing the number of trucks on the road and saving cost and fuel. If they utilized a $8.50/hr for 6 hours and can shave just 2 hrs, it would've still resulted in positive outcome. Just reading the posts about seniority, union and grievance, it's clear that union is a huge obstacle in business operations and staying competitive. [/QUOTE]
