[QUOTE="gadistrict, post: 55149"] Let me say this as well, although I'm sure that I'll probably get drilled the by the rest of you guys on this one. It is the supervisor's/manager's job to keep productivity high, and labor low. That is the game played all over the world no matter what industry you're in. This does not justify being inhumane or flat out evil, but...that's what we get paid to do. And the union makes it even harder to do that. So we managers try to read and twist the contract language to our advantage, just as the hourlys do. It's not always the nicest thing to do, but what the position entails. Just like everything else, it is all about the dollar. Once again, let me re-emphasize that this is not an excuse to abuse drivers, but a statement to say "Hey...that's part of our job" [/QUOTE]
