[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1180060, member: 42270"] This doesn't surprise me. Additionally, with the expansion of RTW, it's far easier to coast as a scab in a 22.3 job than it is as a driver. Scab combos don't have to worry about running over an angry customer's dog or knocking a mirror off their package car so they feel like they don't "need" union protection. Sure, they're making $26+/hour with a guaranteed 40 hour work week and likely have two gravy jobs. But a large chunk of people would rather not pay their ~$80/month in dues and kiss their manager's ass instead. While the vast majority of the 22.3's in my building work both shifts consistently (I don't have any qualms with a Twilight/Midnight guy taking a lay-off on his second shift once in a blue moon) there are indeed a "few bad apples" that [B]never[/B] work their second four hour shift. The company should really allow some of these people a pathway to going back to PT, even if it meant a pay cut back to the PT scale they would otherwise be on. [/QUOTE]
