Aren't they making the year end on Friday the 27th now and using that post day at the end ?

     Said before it could be approved they needed the unions approval. That's strong 💪

It's the laundry list . We certainly don't get enough credit for what's dished out .

Let me clarify . Since we started school it seemed like we were taking the punches and on the ropes and no one wanted to punch back . Damn right I want to win . The first step is standing up to the bully and punching him square in the nose and then go from there .


    No matter how bad the chaos is, morale is and how badly we are short drivers he was making money the whole time . I find it all hard to believe every rumor and threat made along with the CFO who is still gainfully employed after costing the company hundreds of thousands . 

     So I hope we come off the ropes and score a knockout . All of this was fueled by years of bad contracts and abject nonsense . Just not fair to us drivers .

Maybe minds will change and see this can be costly . Either way  way the union did the right thing in seeking mediation form a third party to look into the interpretation. Isn't about winning or losing but fighting to the end .

@Buzz sorry for the old story reference but it does apply here in this story . Strongly agree about justifying a position. Personally I don't see how this could have been paid out a year and this great cost that was hurting was just realized now . Call me crazy .

   @Proud Member no we aren't forced to work here . Yes we are given a job and responsibilities to do . Bottom line is whether we agree or disagree a note on what to expect in run coverage pay should have been given . Reasons why that's for the Union to battle him over . Shouldn't be that a Teenager sticking shelves in a Deli at minimum wage knows more about his pay and what to expect then us .

I waited a few days to comment . As usual something happens owner takes an action  . The source of the new time sheets wasn't addressed  from its source . A simple letter telling your workers briefly what's happening and why makes a world of difference . Business 101 .  Do better !! . Hanging  out in the  cave isn't businesslike  . All that did is create a panic , confusion and stress for drivers that were already paid for years and up to and including a full year under new agreement .

     While as a driver I do run coverage and like the extra money . I'm under no illusion that great profit is made at our expense while saving in various expenses in the line item column . You don't "lose money for years , sign a new deal not address what hurts you , continue to pay for another year and all of a sudden BAM 💥 " .

     I don't believe out of nowhere it was figured out how to hold onto money that was being "Lost " . Tell that to anyone you want . Cool story bro !

   Factually speaking .  These buses don't run themselves . This isn't the first money that  has been held  . Also again not the first time I have to keep an accounting of hours , take pictures and track what's paid and what isn't . Am I working for Fly By Night Airways or Pioneer ? "The leader in the Transportation Business " or so they say !!!

     Finally and lastly . The whole shortage was created by  bad contracts emanating from the strike.  That's just a fact . Used to be a waiting list to get in and happy faces . Now it's how many quit this week , who left a bus where to pick up by a train station or  so on . Big money was made on these deals . I warned the delegates when they came down to explain the last contract . Sure as shit it was proven again why the "Scorpion and the Frog " story is still relevant .  :bomb:
