[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 923901, member: 11246"] Well, you have not been to my center. Yes, I could and probably should follow the contract. I will give you that. But, suggesting that I file on other drivers for working off the clock is not reasonable. This issue has little to do with rising threw the ranks. Here is what I see daily: Part time sups loading trucks, even entire dumps on EVERY slide.... day in day out. Several drivers getting in 3 hours before start time. Yes, three hours EVERY day. No exaggeration what so ever. 75% of the drivers going threw their loads at least 30 minutes before start time. Loaders being sent home before their 3.5 guarantee. Sups making deliveries and having their boards merged with union drivers board. Drivers coming in and being sent home do to not having work and not getting their 8. Drivers punching out while still on road to be under 9.5 (they do this because they are making 11+ hours of bonus [B]AND THIS I WOULD NEVER EVER DO[/B]) I could go on and on. With all do respect, you have no clue how it is in my center. Again, I agree I could and should follow the contract......but suggesting that I file for violations is not practical in my center. I alone can not change the environment of where I work. Let me ask you, what would happen if I, one of the lowest drivers on the line up, went to my management team with grievence's in regards to the greater portion of drivers for working off the clock? Would management not have it in their best interest to target me? Would the drivers not have it in their best interest to retaliate against me? Again, this is the game that I play in. please try to understand that my center is probably WAY different then yours. [/QUOTE]
