[QUOTE="upsset, post: 879348, member: 4978"] Hembone, your question exemplifies a major part of the problems we are experiencing these days. Too many of us think that there is; the company, the teamsters, and than us. We are never going to make any progress against excessive o/t, harassment, and route slashing until we recognize that we are the teamsters and nothing will change until we start to have some unity of purpose and take an active roll in the fight. Your stewarts and business agents can only accomplish so much without the membership firmly behind them. I'm not just talking about moral support either, stand up and be counted. File, File, File, and then file some more. Grievances are a slow process but they will work if enough are filed. Secondly, exercise your rights under the contract; if your route is cut insist on working in classification, do a route cold if you have to, the time you loose working blind will eleminate any time saving benifit they got from eleminating your route. Talk to the runners, lunch skippers, and the drivers working before their start time, explain to them how their actions are costing full time jobs. Stick together and strengthen your union before it is too late!!!!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
