[QUOTE="john346, post: 351006, member: 10873"] Same garbage at our center as well, run, run, run, & you are never fast enough. Interseting twist that we have been dealing with is ANY accident, even ones that are completely no fault of the driver, and reported, is an immediate firing or suspension of the driver. Usually three days of the poor bastard sweating it out to see if they have a job or not. Total silence from management during the time out, then they call in the morning and generously offer them their job back. If the driver wants paid for those lost days, they have to threaten a greivance. One of our last center manager's retold a tale of how he charged a driver for an accident where they were rear-ended at a light because the driver failed to communicate whith his horns lights & signals. Total B.S. To make matters worse our union rep and local are all spineless and do absolutely nothing but drag their feet until everyone who has went to them just gives up. I know that this post will probably shake out the strong union voice of it being our fault, and quotes from the regs, but apparently until you are mired in it, you don't truly appreciate how little time you have to mitigate the local's flaws. So you can save them, or post em' & I'll do my best to forward to those affected. I haven't had to deal with any of it (yet?), my route is extended, so I never am in the center to get any of it first hand. I feel lucky for that. [/QUOTE]
