[QUOTE="MC4YOU2, post: 846209, member: 5485"] Isn't this happening where you are already? Last year was a year that sent some management home on an early out retirement offer and was the first step in a corporate reorganization. As for the hourly employees, you may not be aware that there is at this time a major effort to reduce these costs and promote efficiency through daily route cutting which thereby reduces the need for drivers, pre loaders and sorters etc. I do not disagree with any of this in general. The issue is not just a profit based one, but rather an ethical one as well. If routes are to be cut due to low volume, and the contract is followed so far as limiting overtime, then so be it. But why treat the remaining employees as if there isn't [I]enough of a saving[/I] in laying off their co workers? Why try and squeeze the work of 100% of the workers out of only 75% left in attendance? Why cheat and rig the 3 day rides with a systematic plan that undermines the loyalty and drive of the employees? [/QUOTE]
