You have to deal with indecisive people and managers who take the supervisors side when they’re in the wrong. Your coworkers talk about you like a dog and the supervisor’s condone it and laugh at you right along side them. Your coworkers also see you loading freight wrong they will gossip to others about you and won’t help you but tell the supervisor on you. The managers play favorites and give good work on the dock to the guys they “buddy’s with” you have to wait until you get enough seniority to drive and won’t be able to unless it gets far down in senority where people can drive & they need drivers for the day you have to bid for a driving, hostling, or dock bid by senority no problem but the senior guys there don’t want to quit & you are forced to work the dock for more than 5 years until you get a driving bid. No more overtime! Do not go to ABF if you want to drive you will be disappointed! The union takes management’s side therefore you left in the cold they let you get written up and leave you asking questions on why we have a union. The union doesn’t speak up in meetings when management enforces things that aren’t union policy and they let things happen until it becomes a severe problem.
