[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3274556, member: 14176"] Your "example" was absurd and declared a "joke" and I agree. The Union fights for all members equally, as we are duty bound, by law, to do just that? The Union also realizes the necessity for the Company to be profitable in order to negotiate good contracts for all members. Not sure what incentive there is to defend "slackers", over and above what is legally required. Perhaps you need to accept the ineptitude of the operations you worked in, and the feebleness of those labor departments, who were unable to make "your" cases against these "slackers" stick? Irrelevant???...allowances are irrelevant, really??? Isn't that the same "irrelevant" criteria the "chosen 18%" are compensated over and above on in bonus centers? Isn't that the criteria that plays a role in management MIP bonuses? It was for sure the criteria this trainee was held to, when he failed to "scratch" the route...and is for sure why he found himself back in the night sort again, after 9 years with the Company. That certainly sounds reasonable, had the route been an established "training route". Instead we are talking about a route that was vacated by a 35 year driver in my loop, who retired weeks prior to this trainee being assigned to it. This retired driver (like every other driver in the 4 car loop) was routinely 1.5-2 hours over allowed every day for a decade. "and" is a conjunction and should never start a sentence, which is why it looked so ridiculous capitalized. That being said, you normally come off as fairly objective, but this "slacker theory" of your's stinks of your professional failures as a manager, aside from disqualifying trainees. How many drivers got over on you, due to your inability to do the work and build a solid case on these "slackers"? Is that why you tapped out? I don't know if you can see it now?...but you don't "get it". Because while you say "it's on" my "weak management team", the reality is the weight is squarely on the unjustly disqualified, 9 year part time sort employee, who found himself on the outside looking back in for the next opportunity to be arbitrarily judged by the next center manager.
