I feel the same way Kingcals,but fact is on a normal day you are obligated to finish an established route. If you dont finish, and you dont have a reasonable excuse, and/or a fully loaded truck, you and your partner are getting complaints. In our last contract, we gave up the loophole that existed allowing us some leeway to leaving out work. And think about it,the city has always been looking for ways to save money by going with private sanitation. We give any appearance,on a broad scale, that we are performing a "job action" and we may just push the prospect of privates into the open and on the table. I dont think now is a good time for doing anything to jeopardize our jobs.
Was going to ask with this reduce headcount .. What has not bein able to be done on a normal day of being a sanatation worker ..? Or is everything getting done on a normal day.. I guess I'm asking .. As badly I do want this job is it really possible to go another full year of no hiring and about a atration rate of 25 a month..?

why hire new people if you can get everything is getting done every day with less? as much as it sucks, it makes sense. my garage only lost a "1/2 truck" 1 day a week, and another day they combined two "1/2 trucks" into 1 "full truck" (it goes 1/4 from 1 section, 1/2 from the 2nd section, and 1/4 from the 3rd section) no loss of truck, but 2 less people needed for the shift. and 3 people have retired. everything is complete, and most dumped, so why would the city hire replacements
starting monday, the majority of Manhattan garages have a new primary dump. the Waste Management - Julia St place is no more. its about 10 mins out of the holland tunnel. seems like a win-win for the city... less $$ per ton and half the distance round-trip. why did that take so long??!! supervisors will push the relay shifts to pump out an extra relay. even worse, since its closer more dumps on shift.
Can't be for the garages that use the G.W. Took me almost 3 hrs. to get to IWS & back. Coming from the turnpike, you deal with the drawbridge & all the traffic going towards the Holland.
hey did anyone read todays daily news harry is talking about how the other unions are getting ready to neg. contracts talks and it does not sound good .
I heard that in the spring when 32b-j contract expires they might strike true or not we just have to wait and see but if that happens and then the other unions jump on the band wagon boy we are in for a tough ride
