[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1142236, member: 24302"] I just wonder why topped out employees get the easiest routes. Seems to me that if we have no chance of catching them then it should be on them to do the extra garbage since they are worth so much more than us. When drafting for working Saturday for example they should start at the top of the seniority list, not the bottom. When picking vacations let the newhires go first then work up from there. We literally have no chance of catching them pay wise so since they enjoy many thousands of dollars more on 40 hrs a week than we do then let them earn it. I've only seen a few topped out employees in the last 10 years at a number of stations give an honest effort. Most want to do the bare minimum because they're perfectly content with their higher pay at 38-41 hrs a week. A fair system would have mid-range employees catching top-out in a reasonable amount of time then if we want better routes, etc we'll have to wait until they open. But it's not fair so let the higher paid employees do the hard stuff. Make them earn that high pay. Maybe then you'd see much more interest in a union. [/QUOTE]
