[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1136307, member: 43436"] Loading easy? When I first hired in, I loaded between 400-500 pieces over the course of a 4-hour shift. Now I'm expected to load up to 1250 over 3.5. In lieu of laying off the bottom people, my facility allowed drivers who wanted to work PT at top rate to do so on the Preload. The same guys who tell us how good we have it would last a day then go back to driving the next day... Nonetheless, there are probably less PTers eligible to vote than there are FTers, due to RTW laws. It's difficult for somebody making $8.50/hour -- who may not be working every day to start with -- to join the union at a cost of $200 + $17/month. Still stunned at the number of drivers set to earn 100K -- making them among the top 5% wage earners in this country, for a menial job most anybody could do (for 100K) -- alongside no-cost health & welfare benefits &!$#$ and moan it isn't enough. I could understand being upset with the amount of OT FTers are working, harassment, etc. But no, they're focusing on financials. [/QUOTE]
