Once in a blue moon it may be justified (short hours due to family emergency PD etc.), but never routine. Money should be made during contract negotiations, not contract work-arounds.
Sometimes peer pressure is a good thing. Transparency is never a bad thing. Problem is too many guys don't even realize they are part of the problem.
Cubdrick,
We should get rid of trip parking but lets be clear about 1 thing - trip parking is currently 100% legal. I think it sucks, but lets face it, guys are exploiting a loophole in the contract to their personal advantage.
Calling them abusers and publishing a list is not the right answer - closing the loophole is.
Disclaimer - I am 100% against trip parking, never parked a trip and never will, and think it is detrimental to all of us in the long run.
