I wouldnt bank on ANY politician keeping their word! 

Thank you for posting the numbers 

Well said Buzz!...WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE ERNIE...We all know he can yell sometimes but I would yell worse if I had to deal with some of the nonsense he does! Just for example - he has said 100 times "do NOT go into the office without representation" - yet guys go in there - THEN ask Ernie to get them out of trouble!...lol! Ernie and Andy give so much of their time to help our members...They are the BEST!

THANK YOU ERNIE!

Buzz...this 'art' was lower than low. Not funny. Whover did this... KARMA IS A BITCH!
The only funny thing is the A$$HOLE cant spell "LOL" ...sad...
if I had to guess same type of guy that does 'favors' for the office...dirtbag!

As always...THANK YOU ANDY!
With all the bitching and moaning they hear -
I have NEVER met more dedicated people than Ernie and Andy!
Thanks guys!

Well said Buzz!

Buzz...I guess guys who either forgot or NEVER shaped don't know that shapes are sent home after the morning runs are covered! The only guys that would be left are the yard guys to cover an afternoon run...or give it to a driver to make 4 hrs!

it is just so funny how a guy will vote NO because he will have to work election day and get the same pay as a guy 'home in bed' BUT when someone brings up the idea of how this SAME guy is home while others are doing trips...he gets mad and pleads seniority!..LOL It is laughable! Is that what the contract is all about...worrying about someone else is doing? As we all know when you pick a run - you look at what days the schools are off/etc...not exactly rocket science! I think guys should start getting the message that Ernie/Andy are telling us concerning the real important contract issues!

Buzz...if 'we' (the 400 drivers currently at pioneer) voted NO to the contract -could the company hire other out of work 1181 drivers?

Buzz...excellent points! I understand if the union does not present the offered contract for a vote it would be considered not negotiating in good faith BUT isnt the company "NOT" negotiating in good faith by offering us less money while still getting paid the higher rate by DOE?

THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE ERNIE!

GREAT point! We are only under obligation to be present for our report time. We are NOT obligated to show up an hour early to look ffor our bus in that disaster of a yard. BUT that being said - you just know guys are SELFISH and have already found their bus and will be there before report time pulling their bus out. I say SELFISH because all they are worried about is getting their morning run done early. WE should all UNITE on this and be "on time" and let the company deal with DOE becxause runs were late. I totally agree that Neil is laughing his ass off as he hears how early guys show up after he shafted us. Also, NO FAVORS!

THANK YOU ERNIE!

Ernie always posts the runs to give us as much time as possible to view them. He can only work with when the yard is open. He even gave us the court update too! Thanks Ernie!
