[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 880175, member: 927"] I'm not entirely sure what the debate is here, but I'll provide some responses... I do not know the % or respondents in the last ERI that were drivers or other hourlies. When the survey results were communicated, they did show the different responses for each of the groups. It was broken out by full time, part time, management, hourlie, etc. So, I don't know if you are trying to say the ERI was inaccurate or that Management won't respond favorably because they have a hard job..... That's a given. Management has it hard. Especially full time supervisors. I don't ever remember a time however when full time supervisors didn't have it hard. What makes it different now is the lack of growth. In the old days, you worked your butt off. Chased every small detail just like today. The difference is that then you got a quaterly update on stock price. You saw your personal effort get rewarded through share price. This gets to your third point on corporate greed.... I'm not 100% sure what that means. When corporations are greedy and get more profit, that money goes back to shareowners as dividends and hopefully share price growth. So is corporate greed really shareowner greed? The same shareowners who have not seen appreciable growth in 10 years? I understand that you feel undercompensated. You have a right to feel that way based on the workload. But if your slice of the pie is too small, who has the large piece? Hourly? Customer? Shareowner? Its not a simple answer. We are trying to slice the pie thinner when the answer is to make the pie bigger. Get our volume back from FedEx. In the old days, we didn't have competition. We lost lots of volume and jobs to a competitor. BTW, PPH has been around since George Smith's day. Trying to achieve PPH targets is nothing new. [/QUOTE]
