[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 923854, member: 11246"] And I understand 1000000000%. But, right or wrong, I play the game that I was put into. There is no way I would put myself into the position of pissing off 75% of the drivers plus management. It is what it is. Trust me, many many times I wish I had a center, better yet a union that would play the game by the game rules. I drove for almost a year before given seniority. Union was no help. I was told by the BA that I couldn't get seniority due to the fact that other hub workers with more seniority had not gotten their chance to drive full time. When I approached management regarding making book, I was told "do you want to go back to the inside"? Yes, I could make an example and stand up, but that will not get me anywhere inside my center. The drivers I would file on, are the same one's I need to go home to allow me to work as a cover driver. And I will admit that I do go in early, set up the truck so that I can have an easier day and even get home quicker at times. I don't make the rules that my center plays by. I just play the game as it is. I know that I could make it change by standing up and TRY to have the contract followed, but I know as the day is long that it would not better serve me. I am there for me and my family and the smoothest way to the finish line is the path I will take. I respect what you do and how the contract is followed, but try to understand what it is like in a center that is pretty much a free for all. [/QUOTE]
