[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 205248, member: 10234"] The whole pas/edd thing is a joke. Somebody, somewhere, sold the company a bill of goods (not to mention a lot of computers) when they came up with this brainstorm. The whole idea behind it, in my opinion, was so that they could replace everyone with non-union people in the near future. In 97 the company was caught with their pants down when we went on strike. This system was developed as a tool so that in the event of another strike, they would be able to replace everybody with minimal effort. Unfortunately (or fortunately), when they set this thing up, they failed to get the input of the experts (the people who actually do the work....drivers, preloaders,etc.). They brought in people with no area knowledge (and limited ability to read a map) and proceeded to screw things up royal. Not only are miles up drastically, but the paid day is up proportionately. Even though the system does not work, they continue to implement it nationwide. Why?......Because they spent hundreds of millions of dollars and by God it is going to work. And if it doesn't work, they will not have a "leg up" on the Teamsters should it come down to another strike. The system is not inherently bad...... it's the implementation without input from the people who would know best how to do it. Of course, this is just my opinion. JT [/QUOTE]
