ALL Schneider Drivers Please Read!

Hmmm.That sounds accurate to me,what is the alternate though?Who and how is a EFFECTIVE boycott of this here size organized??

 

From a soon to be ex-Schneider driver.

As long as you're willing to live with the outcome, have at it.

 

Yeppity a lil forethought can go a long way....well said there driver.....Maybe one day we will see a truly organized effort,but the strength is needed in numbers,that's my 2 cents on it anyway.....

 

Take time to speak with drivers who have been there for 20 years or more.

Ask about their union.... worked great LMAO.

 

Then Schneider is a shining example of a poorly run one.

Last count was 6 remaining members. That was almost 2 years ago.

 

I will try to explain my attitude to you. I have been on unemployment from the first of the year, Last year I had a six figure income(from the left side of the period) and sat in my air conditioned office and told the people that worked for me what to do. My type of work is disapearing faster than company truck drivers, so now I am getting ready to drive truck again, Not because I have to but because it is a job that I was and will be again sucessful at. The best cliche I can throw at you is that a Squeaking wheel bearing gets the grease BUT the next maintenence it gets replaced.

 

My wife works for Work Force Developement Center in Racine Wisconsin. Each worker is supposed to have about 200 cases (people) At present each worker has about 700. With no overtime allowed there's not enough time to contact everyone of them. End result is, some don't get food stamps, or insurance. They want the workers to turn down there wage increase that was to go in effect about 2 years ago. If not they will be laid off for 15 weeks, one or two at a time. When that happens then their case load is devided up amoung the other workers, making their work loads bigger.

 

complaining about conditions is one thing. telling your employer that you're trying to organize a boycott of your own customers to protest a wage freeze is something entirely different. note: i said wage freeze, not wage cut... or job cut...

obviously, we don't know what you told them in your letter, but if your tone was anything like what's going on in this thread, you'd better mind your p's and q's because if that letter gets into the wrong person's hands on the wrong day you could find yourself fired for not wearing approved footwear or forgetting to send in your mac 17/18.
