[QUOTE="grgrcr88, post: 847930, member: 16611"] The only problem is the uninformed membership. Over allowed is not recognized by any Union leader or any informed member. The reason the company puts more work on people is because they will do it. If people stop cutting corners, follow the methods and grieve other members working off the clock. Start filling 9.5 grievances at every available oportunity, the company would be forced to put in more routes and reduce the workload. The problem is they know who will run a little faster, not make the proper driver releases or take a shortened lunch if at all and skip entirely the free money from the paid breaks. Those people think its more important for them to run a little harder so they can get home 30 minutes or an hour earlier, they are not concerned about the overall good. Think about this. If you have 6 drivers coming in 10 minutes early and sorting their trucks off the clock, thats one hour. then you have 6 other drivers skipping their lunch(asuming 30 mins), thats 3 hours. Then you have 6 guys skipping one 10 minute paid break. Thats another hour. figure in the other shortcuts taken throughout the day by the runner, gunners. you easily have enough work for another route to be put in. Imagine now if every driver is taking shortcuts like this, how many more routes could be put on the streets. Now before you tell me that filing 9.5 grievances does no good, consider tha reason for the companies non shelant attitude towards those grievances is because their are so few filed. Honestly, We have on average 60 drivers on the road daily in our center. At least 30 of them are consistently over 9.5hrs. I have not seen a 9.5 grievance in a month, except the one I filed. If all 30 of them filed per their contractual rights, I guarantee something would be done. At the very least they would keep you under for 3 days. Thats the problem with the world today.
