[QUOTE="helloitsme, post: 154251, member: 7827"] Why do you have this skewed view of a union employees ? I know alot of hard working teamsters. Yes, there are some lazy asses, but, there are alot of lazy asses at UPSF too ! They don't get fired either ! Obviously you are not a linehaul driver because we DON'T get paid for every thing we do. Why should I sit on my ass for two or three hours waiting on a driver from SOH to arrive to a meet point because they have the most horrible load and schedule planning ever,and not get paid one red cent for my time ? That is absurd. Why should I show up to work a half -hour before my departure time to pre-trip and not get paid for the pre-trip ? You see where I am going with this. A wise old lady told me once,"Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves". You can call me greedy all you want. I am not thinking so much about the pension as I am the here and now.What about the jacked up insurance that we are paying now. I just want to be paid for every minute that I am on company property doing company business. There is no free lunch in this world. Those pennies will be just fine in my pocket instead of the companies' pocket. You should stop reminiscing about the good 'ole days when Harwood Cochrane owned Overnite. Those days are long gone.
