[QUOTE="brownIEman, post: 771150, member: 14596"] I have to disagree. If we were run by an army of people who see things as they are as I try to do, we would be in much better shape, IMHO. :happy2: Hiring and and training costs? For high turnover? What turnover? Did you miss the part about not hiring new people in 2 years? No one is leaving, so we are not hiring, as volume is down. Absences and tardiness are certainly a problem, but they are just as bad with many of my veterans making more like double the starting wage. I fail to see how raising the wage will fix that. Missorts, injuries and inefficiencies from constant new hires? Once again, I point out that we currently have a low starting wage, and have NO new hires in the past 2 years. That problem does not exist, so how do I recoup the cost of higher wages by fixing a problem that does not exist? BTW, If you read my earlier post, I did offer a number of ideas to recoup the cost of a higher insider wage. Such as higher acceptable production standards and lower acceptable error standards. Are you suggesting the union would agree to those? [/QUOTE]
