[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 270632, member: 1957"] .....but one has to wonder where the attorneys for the union side were when some of this tentative language was being formulated. The elimination of "past practice" language will, I believe, prove devastating for the hourly union worker. I admire the local unions in the chicago area that seem to have the male genitalia to call a "wildcat" when the company continues to violate language that has been grieved and won by the union. Sub-contracting feeder work is a concern. A since retired manager told us that, at some point, the whole operation will be part-time. Think about it.....send a PT driver out on a route for 5 hours and then have his PT replacement drive out and finish the other 5 hours. Sub contract the feeder work to a third party who just came back from Mexico with a bus load of "truckdrivers" and there you have it. Feeder drivers with three years or less seniority can be laid off if their load(s) are put on the rail? Where did that come from and why? Only the company knows and they darn sure aren't gonna tell us. I can tell you the company is looking several years down the road and the changes this recently "ratified" language will bring will be subtle and catch everyone by surprise. Who cares?.....not the company. [/QUOTE]
