Who Took the Day Off Today?

Me

How do you guys not have to work when your routes are cut? They claim I have the “right to work” because of seniority, but not the “right not to work”. I am the highest seniority driver in our center and they cut my route and lay the low seniority people off, while I have to run a combo route a couple of days a week.

Today they threw that right out the window and made the low guys work if no one volunteered.

Lets just say I don't want to do work blind, and my supervisors surely don't want me to do work blind. We're in mutual agreement.

Be glad you didn't 75 stops 200 miles, had to drive 30 minutes back to a drop box, thought today was gonna be quick and easy, never volunteering again

Today is always easy physically. Mentally it’s very frustrating.

I worked. Picked up 1000 pieces today and barely made it in with air. Get to do it all over again tomorrow.

Maybe when you are our BA or union president you can interpret the language how you want.

It's ask from the top force from the bottom? I thought this was a fairly universal interpretation.
And why would the company force senior drivers to work? They earn twice as much someone still in probation.

Area knowledge? Try to get them to call it quits sooner? Management playing favorites?

For a random day off when over staffed “ask from the top force from the bottom” is not how it’s done here and there’s no language dictating that’s how they have to do it.

My nap.

Yep, slept in till noon what a great feeling.

I slept until 3 pm but I am sick ... 12 hours and I felt like hell when I woke up.
6 hours later and I have pretty much got my head emptied of phlegm.
