Work Related / Re: To the Newer Drivers Out There

I wave to every school bus that passes me every single day. Whether they wave back or not the next day I wave again. There was one driver that I passed every morning for just about three years and she never waved back. Finally one day I got to see what her palm looked like!!!!! It made my day!!!!

Work Related / Re: Coalition OK's 3-Year Deal

Bloomberg is the cause of all of this.
At the time of his manufactured third term,
I had been driving at Pioneer for 10 or 11 years. At that time we were flush with drivers and there was literally a file cabinet with 100s of applications of people waiting to get called & hired. Every morning there was 10 or more shapes in the drivers room waiting for work and another 10 casuals waiting at home by their phones. Also at that time you basically had to know someone to get a job here. Now you can have just got off the boat and you automatically get a job. Back then if you heard a total of 10 late reports a year it was a lot. Today we hear 50 late reports a day!

I got the confirmation apparently it's a done deal and also it expires the summer of 2028 which I believe is also when our contract with Pioneer expires. There should be some interesting negotiations going on before each of the contracts expire!

I heard that they got a three year contract
Does anybody have confirmation of that?

Anyone know what happened at last night's PEP meeting

Just say your route has 30 students on it.
Then let's say just 5 of them get on without their IDs and you have to manually do it. Besides the safety issues, what about the time it takes to do it. And they're already complaining that buses are getting to the schools late. Oh, and I forgot what about all the students that get on the bus that don't speak English and can't even explain to you what their name is!

I heard the 3 Pioneer routes will be with drivers of 30 years or more Seniority.
Specifically any driver that has a tenure date in the month of September. LMAO

Plus isn't Labor Day a paid holiday?
So if we didn't get the first week as a guaranteed week the company would have had to pay us for a day and a half anyway

I'm sure ur correct but I can't seem to find the 1181 calendar that u posted. Can u post it again. I thought we always got the cleaning allowance on the first Thursday of December which would make it December 4th this year. But I could be wrong. Plus if the company can hold onto a $100,000 for an extra week, I think they would.
