Is it even possible to run that fast anymore? I heard bonus was impossible to get anymore.
You would think that, but we definitely still have guys that try… Lol.
I ran bonus on my route twice, and both times was because I covered pickups for other routes.
The old guy who was before me was 2+ hours over every day.
The numbers were a joke.
Get rid of bonus and the company may have to hire a few more drivers. Hard to do all those pickups when you actually take a full lunch, no sorting off the clock.

My last few years in package I watched it slowly disappear on my route. I could run .50 under taking my lunch because of how tight the stops were. I watched that slowly disappear to where I was running an hour over a day and absolutely nothing changed on the route.
Lol, what do i hate? Just pointing out that when faced with routes being cut, running-gunning hurts, doesn't help union workers.
Bonus centers, if worried about layoffs, should eliminate bonus ASAP. All it does is encourage runner-gunners.
Our center is still bonus but few really get much anymore. Not sure why we still have it.

What region are you in?
Central or 03, whatever that is now.
Get rid of it then.
It is the Company's most devicive tool.

Getting it to a vote also divisive
We have five drivers currently laid off, at least 10 routes are going out with the over 10 hour planned day, clearly states in our contract that’s a violation, union steward doesn’t seem to care, I talked to the young guys to file a grievance, but they said they don’t wanna rock the boat. I’m not really sure if I file the grievance it will accomplish anything.

You will be paid triple time (and eventually quad-time), so there's that?
Nope, no vote:
You probably aren't beat me at this, JS....
Interesting.
In 710, we do vote.

That's Central Region language I posted, which @gumbysmom stated he's in.
710 and 705 have their own stand alone contracts, contracts we would all like to have, btw.

No, absolutely fair. I am indeed watching along the thread.
I'm just an ex 710 boy that enjoys seeing the contrast, and I'm not used to thinking about other guys having such different verbiage.

Grievance for what exactly? 9-5?
710 is central region
Geographically yes, but contractually Local 710 has a stand alone supplement and is not beholding to Central Region Supplemental language.
