I have done both, I have experienced both. They both have their issues. As a manager I stood on hard concrete day in and day out. As a worker I destroyed my hearing working code and signals. I watched managers drop dead from the stress. It is easy to dismiss what a manager may or may not do...

No, I have not. They are also not the same thing. In the first place, illegal drugs are illegal. They made a choice to deliberately break a very important rule, one that is NOT there just to mess with them. It was NOT an accident. They CHOSE to do this. It is possible to get a ticket without...

Good, my Dad LOVES their bread. Too bad they don't have a web site. That is a bit silly these days.

That happens in some places. The larger the company and the larger the union the least likely it is to happen. I do know one thing, having been union, labor and management, management is a FAR harder row to hoe than working the line is.

Here ya go Turtle: West Fenkell Bakery 15282 Middlebelt Rd Livonia, MI 4815 734-427-9860 My Dad said he bought 3 loaves today and has one half gone already!! :D

I will get the name of it for you. It's ok, you are safe in that part of Michigan, they only bake there, not make turtle soup!!:p

Most likely a little bit of everything. It is nice though. I could use October to be this good.

I hope this stuff keeps up. This week might have been our best this year. I have not looked back yet but I think it is. Sept is going to be one of our best months as well, even with the time we took off. I like this trend.

Hey ugly pants!! We ran just shy of 3800 miles this week I will have you know!! We were close to having hour of service problems. Ok now on that. Been VERY busy of late. This is the first time in a very long time that we don't have a pre-dispatch for Monday.

Go to Gilroy, California, during the garlic harvest!! Just breathing makes you hungry!! There is a bakery in Detroit that makes "garlic bread". Not the buttered sprinkle on kind, REAL garlic bread. It is a good Italian style loaf, chewy crust with whole garlic cloves baked in. My Dad buys one...

Didn't say you, just rambling as per normal. I am addicted to rambling. It's not my fault. Maybe the government should give me money!! :p

Why is everything a disease? Why could it not just be bad choices in life. You CHOOSE to drink, smoke pot, do coke, gamble. I have seen far too many who did these things just stop, cold turkey. Can you just "quit" cancer? Making every bad thing that man can do a disease only takes away personal...

The employee should cover the cost. The company is NOT penalizing the family. The one who did that stupid act is. The individual is at fault. Those actions are NOT mistakes, they are deliberate acts. They knew what they were doing. It is NOT the fault of the company. As a company I would...

Those have been going up lately.

Rehab is a personal responsibility. Even IF drinking and some drug use are really a disease it is NOT the responsibility of the company to cover those costs. Cancer is NOT the same thing. Even in the case of cancer it is NOT the responsibility of the company to cover those costs either. Everyone...

What does any of that have to do with drinking on the job? I did not say anything anti-union. I do think that they are out of control these days. I don't believe that they even look out for the rank and file all that well any more. IF they were they would insure that those bums got fired. Drunks...

There are bad people in management just as in the unions. Management seldom has "set" lunch hours. I never did. Some days I took 2 hours, many days I got none. I had to work 50-60 hours per week, straight salary. No overtime, no 40 hour week and FAR more responsibility than I EVER had as an...

Blew by some scales once, on purpose. The U.S. marshals we were being escorted by told us we had too. They had more and bigger guns than the troopers did so they won. Simple.

I am part Italian, garlic is part of my DNA!! :p

That could be, I have no idea. I don't go along with the rehab part ONCE CAUGHT. IF they went in and ASKED for help, maybe, although it is NOT the responsibility of the company. It is the responsibility of the individual. ONCE CAUGHT, GONE, TOAST, FRIED etc. They are all adults, they know the...
