[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1443470, member: 22662"] They have to work Sundays because the signed an agreement to do so. Oh, they'll get paid a little more. Won't be worth it though. Everything is a negotiation. Everything is scrutinized every single day. I'm in competition with the other local contractors every day. The company has a lot to compare and contrast. Some retain drIvers better, some have better service, fewer complaints, fewer accidents. None of that is for free. I bet the company could find someone to do my job for $50,000 less. They wouldn't be nearly as good though. So you shouldn't mistake what I'm saying as "whining". It's not. It's simply stating facts that I believe the company already knows. To get what they want, they will have to pay more. As I told my SM, I'm going to make plenty of money this peak but it won't be on Sundays, it won't be the Saturday BEFORE Thanksgiving, and it doesn't matter to me if other contractors are failing miserably all around me. I keep myself staffed all year for peak. It's not cheap, but it 8s the right way. Their coming disaster isn't my concern. Action and inaction are powerful negotiating tools. [/QUOTE]
