[dispatchguy]

So I hear that PCL has a new DX contract.

I was curious if anyone could post details of their scale here, or at the WDFF website?


Thx

I'm not the one to ask, Rez.

Sounds like it was ramrodded...

TWU can do that, did that to the American Eagle Dispatchers in the contract prior to this most recent one, where they started out at a piss-poor 9.55 an hour.

What I heard when I was there that TWU came back and said "thats the best youre gonna get"

Considering how long the situation continued I am sure the group just wanted to cross this threshold and move on. While I understand their reasoning on the vote (many did not even vote), it is an unfortunate situation. Once you sift out the numbers, the vast majority of the group has taken a pay cut, which was the writing on the wall.

In the Christmas spirit of things...

They bought their Red Rider BB gun, against much wiser advice. And yes, they shot their eye out.

done with it.

They pushed it through with the signing bonus. I can't find anything else in the contract I didn't already have, except for a requierment to not talk to managment if I have a problem unless I get the blessing of the union first.

Opps. almost forgot. I can only roll over 40 hr of vacation time now. I use or lose the rest.
