[QUOTE="hoser, post: 160579, member: 6357"] That makes no sense, supervisors performance is based on retention. Not to mention that supervisors know how powerful the teamsters are and how difficult it is to fire someone (like the guy that only shows up 75% of the time) they take in the big bucks because they work long hours (much longer than you and further away from family than you), they make sure the operation keeps going, and unlike a teamster member making well above industry median yet still has the guts (or is it stupiditiy?) to bitch about a 3% pay raise, they're fully accountable to their bosses, the shareholders. when they're shown the door, they don't have a union rep or a hearing. eskew makes the big dollars because he delivers results. he pays his employess way above median, maintains pretty good union relations (they're negotiationg years before the end of this contract), and he still turns profits. work centres close, that's a reality, and i am more than certain the technicians were well taken care of. if you don't like hearing the CEO making good money, start your own company. but when you post huge profits due to your leadership, be sure to give everyone else a raise before you reward yourself. oh, and S11 wasn't an excuse, it hit every industry (including this industry) hard. even city-bike messenger companies lost big business. while people were shown the door with weak severance, you manage to complain over a 3% pay raise.
