Anyone that says otherwise is a fool and doesn't know what is really happening in the regionals. PSA has been accused of a bad contract, but that is just ignorance.
The problem is that the company does not follow the contract. They change things, and leave us to grieve them, which takes years.
AAG and regional management is the problem.
You left out pay caps, increased health care costs, horrible schedules,etc. Sounds like maybe you either are a recruiter or need to be one.
