Here's another question regarding vacation/sick/personal/option days:
Do you think we as employees should be given the right to donate any of the above to a fellow hourly who has been out of work for an extended period of time due to an off the job injury or illness?
Is it fair to change things for the driver who has put in his time, and would now lose weeks he wanted to a less senior man?

Upstate, I know you understand and benefit from the concept of seniority. So in all fairness would you be willing to give up your bid route and be a cover driver for 2 or 3 yrs.?
When I was a junior guy I had a similiar idea and was told to friend#!& off by the senior drivers....A couple years ago a junior guy came up with the same idea....wanna guess what I told him ? Earn your stripes.

As far as this "donation",would it be into a pool of days for anyone to apply for their use in a time of need? Or would it be "Hey. good guy Joe needs our help. i`ll give him a week of my time." " Hey bad guy Klein is in trouble again. He can twist in the wind" ?
It would be to one person in a time of need. I would never simply donate it to a pool of days to be used by anyone.
I thought about this because this is something our local prison guards do. They will donate personal time to one of their co-workers during a time of need.
If it was truly a matter of caring for the fellow driver it should be for everyone and not a popularity contest. I`d be happy to donate the pay for the day but I`d still want a day off,unpaid.
If you were going to do that, why couldn't you just write the guy a check for what you would have made for the day and leave everything else alone?
He is not boo hooin--he probably has more time in the game than you do. He is making a valid point.
