[QUOTE="extranatty, post: 2986532, member: 66381"] I work Preload. Many of the new hires and old timers work during break which breaches the contract. Them working during break means we get hit with a hundred of smalls/packages as soon as break ends; causing misloads and blow-bys which I've gotten written up for. Our union stewards are useless, apparently our hub paid off the local. My proposal; if someone works during break or otherwise violates the contract -- [B]we kick them out of the union[/B]. Although it may seem minor, working through break undermines our union, makes everything harder for everyone, and allows the company to take advantage of us. It goes against the concept of unions. Why even have a union if we allow this? We need to enact counter-measures that bypass everything else if this union is worth anything. And that includes drivers. Many of you are working during lunch and sorting your truck an hour before start time. That isn't right, it goes against everything a union stands for. If we all don't stand our ground this profit machine takes advantage of us. You have to draw a hard line and place checks-and-balances. And even if the union is bull:censored:, as it seems to be, we can change that. You guys wonder why Hoffa was elected. Well did any of you bother to do something for part-timers? It's a miserable job and miserable people don't vote. [/QUOTE]
