Yes you are correct that's my mistake.
But you did say this and please explain because the way I read it is. If they have exp they should get top rate and seniority. Are you saying there exp should get them higher seniority???? More or less screw the bottom guy that are putting in there time.
"This collusion is one of the primary reasons we can't seem to hire experienced driver over here (at my termina), despite having desperate need. If they have experience, then they have seniority, top rate, etc."
I never thought I'd be able to say I was quited out of context. I feel like a celebrity now.
This is including the previous paragraph I write in the post you're quoting, which was regarding why I dont leave:
"I'd lose every single one of those things if I moved somewhere. I have a family, house, etc, and while I could make due with a certain amount less per week, I can't really work at night, spare, or take a pay cut and work 30 hours.
This collusion is one of the primary reasons we can't seem to hire experienced driver over here (at my termina), despite having desperate need. If they have experience, then they have seniority, top rate, etc."
The last paragraph was saying that these experienced drivers are not coming here because "if they have experience, then they have seniority, top rate, etc. (At their CURRENT jobs).
Sorry if that wasn't super clear.
