Just as with Presidents Week, we're only getting paid for the 3 days we work next week.

Also, it is not yet known if last week's pay will be available this week or next week.
I am patient with stupidity, but not with those who are proud of it.

He probably needs the money more than us.

I feel like some bully  keeps taking my lunch money... Neil hope you and your family have a great Passover.. Cause me and my Family are having a crappy Easter, Sleep well Boss

Rock Steady

Maybe his "open door" policy extends to his house.  Why don't we bring our families to his house and wish them a happy Passover in person, we know where he lives.

I think he used our money for a new house. Its like he's playing monopoly. We keep landing on chance and have to pay him.

I think he used his money on paying for classes from Gatto on how to be a shitty Boss.. How do you do this to people who have made YOUR company one of the BEST in the industry, you did'nt do it playing solitare...Nice guy YEH RIGHT...

It's the Grinch who stole Easter. Just tell the kids the Easter Bunny got robbed on his way to the house.

Faceit, I think they are slowly turning us into part time employees. What will be next? They should be more upfront so we can plan our futures.

For guys who get accrual checks, he has to pro-rate it at the end of the year, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, 2012.  Also, if the union is going to lose 2,000 members than we don't need that many people on the Executive Board.

They've gone to the NLRB and will in turn go to court. Also, Ernie and Andy are filing their own NRLB complaint on behalf of Pioneer employees. We all want quick fixes but he wheels of justice turn slowly.

As we're finding out, what he has to do and actually does are not the same thing.

I believe the union is doing all it can. Who would have thought it woukd come down to this. This is beyond saving money...and CBA....its take it and shove it down our throats. The wheels of justice do turn slowly. My friend from a different garage thats union told me "I will have work at the same union rate whether his company loses there current contract or another bid lower under the new named company takes place. We already have the new stickers to put on the buses, question is which bid gets accepted. You drivers are getting shafted. We were told we werent getting raises but we wouldnt get pay cuts(mechanics)." Sounds a lot like these contractors are all on the same page. Disgusted and miserable they are. Not an attack on mechanics but they get accrual checks and no cuts ans drivers get shit. I have to ask rhetorically what the F is going on .... ?
Years of inaction and corruption has paved the way for the Devil to ride in and take what he pleases.
