Work Related / Re: Dental Insurance
February 03, 2024, 09:09:46 PM
A number of people use Dr. Weiner on Forest Hill Rd. as I did for about 10 years. Nice guy, friendly, usually accepts our coverage as full payment for most things. However I feel it was due to his negligence that I needed $12,000 worth of implants last year.

I believe Dr. Brenman on Bay St. also accepts our coverage as payment in full. Have not used him myself but a number of drivers do.

You can use this link to find a dentist that takes our coverage. Just put in "1181" as the union number and your zip code. If you need a specific type on dentist you can choose it from the the speciality list at the bottom. Being on this list does not necessarily mean they accept our coverage as FULL payment. >>>  https://ddsinc.net/find-provider.php

Work Related / Public School Year Calendar Revised
February 02, 2024, 04:05:38 PM
It came to my attention that the 2023-2024 School year calendar has been revised to add 3 days off this spring for PUBLIC schools. They are Monday, April 1 ... the day after Easter ... and Monday April 29 and Tuesday April 30 to extend Spring Recess (Passover) which is the previous week.

Here's the revised calendar. This link will be at the top of the "Reference Topics" board >>> https://cdn-blob-prd.azureedge.net/prd-pws/docs/default-source/default-document-library/school-year-2023-24-calendar-corrected.pdf?sfvrsn=a8e6eb7e_2

Work Related / CHECK YOUR BUS!!!
January 23, 2024, 03:07:16 PM
Well I understand that one of us left his morning school without making sure all the kids were off the bus. After a hearing I'm sure there will be a hefty suspension ... at the very least.

At least he didn't leave the bus (far as I know) and won't be arrested and lose his job ... as has happened in the past. It takes 10 seconds.

CHECK YOUR BUS!!

Apparently until the end of November the "under the hood" part of the CDL test will be suspended for a special school bus driver classification. The purpose is to help the school bus driver shortage.

What I don't get, if I'm understanding it correctly, is that you cannot renew this "S1" restriction unless you get a permit and take a full CDL road test. (See the 6th bullet under "Key points of the FMCSA exemption" on the link below.) Seriously? What the hell is the point?
