[QUOTE="soberups, post: 353194, member: 14668"] I [I]might[/I] support the idea of bonus [I]if[/I] there was an impartial and trustworthy entity doing the time studies upon which the bonus would be based, and some sort of contractual language that spelled out how and when a bonus would be paid. Only an idiot would trust UPS to create a fair and realistic time standard. The [I]reality[/I] of bonus...is that it is little more than a cash bribe being paid to the driver to falsify his timecard and indicate that he took a lunch when in fact he did not. The purpose of bonus is [I]not[/I] to "benefit" the driver...it is to [I]reduce[/I] paid overtime, [I]reduce[/I] pension contributions, [I]reduce[/I] the number of bid routes and [I]reduce[/I] the number of employees on the payroll. To characterize union officials who oppose bonus as "fat cats" worried about their "coffers" displays an obvious predjudice towards unions and an ignorant belief in stereotypes. Do you also believe in the stereotype that all black people like watermelon, or that all successful career women are man-hating bitches? Please....lets keep the stupid stereotypes in the "B" movies where they belong. [/QUOTE]
