Picking of runs

[GMC JOE]

I spoke with Ernie today at the driver room where the runs are posted . I was told by him if we do not like the picking of runs as it stands we can request changes be made in our next contract by submitting a request in writing . For example, We might request two picks per school year one in October and the other in February.

     I am in no way in favor of an August or September pick . Too many draw backs

     Run can be changed after pick
      Just coming off vacation
     Parent and child confusion at school
      Wrong children being put on bus
     Dealing with new run learning and left /right sheets
      Dry runs
     ETC.
Leave in June and start Sept with same run . Pick October and February

I totally agree ......it makes sense.

Been saying this for a few years ! It only makes sense !!

Yep ... 100%. Beginning of school is easier when drivers go on familiar runs, too. I think this pick should have been delayed at least a week being the runs came down so late.

The time has come to petition the union for a change . We all need to get involved to have it put in the up coming contract .

[Grrr]

I'll sign.
