Well it looks like Bobby and Mike did it again (maybe that could be a song) first it was the Drivers in Tacoma years of suffering than a huge sell out only 17 of the 32 drivers are returning and the other work the 15 drivers did is still being performed by the contractor. The arbitration that was won was thanks to the regional coordinator Omar, read the case Bob and Mike fucked up the 32 argument and we won on Omar’s constant demand that we but article 12 in the Grievance, thanks Omar. Second we have Columbus Ohio Bob and Mike have been working on the runs for the contractors for months and here we go Columbus is being contracted out and the drivers are being excessed up to 500 miles away, another great job. Well let’s not forget the ERT arbitration were the Arbitrator said that the Union filed the grievance untimely and we notified earlier than they said they were, or that they negotiated from 100% full time to 90/10 great job 10% of the craft not getting their hours. How about the casuals in MVS for allowing Management 10% PTF’s not the 0% they wanted we now have casuals all year long, how many never had casuals except for xmas now have then all year, another great job. The list goes on, Holddown not being utilized for maximization, from 2 hours to 1 hour the time utilized for a run reposting and many others. But let’s not forget the MOU on work rules the greatest accomplishment these 2 so called leaders have gotten for the craft. I hope their will be someone anyone running against them this election I will do whatever is needed to support anyone else, one thing I hope its not to late.
PS to all who support these 2, stop the charade and start thinking of the craft not your pocket.
