[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 737250, member: 24302"] Not inferring that at all. I'm saying there's no way I can do more than I do now as a 5X8, and still work 9-10 hrs many days. I have an extended rt, 230 to 260 miles most days, truck pulls 1910 I believe, expected back by 1830 although I'm back anywhere from 1630 to 1830. How can I do more unless the volume increases? I already help 2 other rts when I can, usually at least 2 days a week. Increasing our pay isn't going to increase volume, only an improving economy will, and if I'm 50 miles from station at 1730 I've got to head in. My rt aside, the same applies to most rts. The volume has to increase to do more, and they will want to limit overtime. Now may I ask, why are you trying to come up with every possible negative angle to shoot down a union? A union isn't a panacea, but if we are to have any kind of negotiation power we need one. Why are you determined to keep one out? Are you afraid of hard work?
