I collect old glass ware (old being the forties and fifties). The sad part is I am getting older, 68, and my grown kids say they don't want it. I also collected Hallmark Christmas ornaments for about 40 years. Those they want.Me too...hopefully, my set budget on it doesn't run out before it stops...I have held until Monday....for now....auction ends Monday at 6....no point in driving the bid up any more than I have to....about 3 or 4 times a year I buy a new piece...I love, love antiques and collect them like some kids collect toys.
Wow. Childish debating there.Which consists of sitting in a seat, driving around making frequent stops.
I was saying cite where Wake County bus drivers do not get paid holidays or insurance. You did not provide that citation.Is School Bus Driver Eligible for Unemployment Benefits During Thanksgiving Holiday? - HR Daily Advisor
The Massachusetts Appeals Court recently had the chance to review an award of unemployment benefits to a bus driver who didn't drive kids to school for 3 days during Thanksgiving week. The court's decision surprised us, and it may surprise you, too.hrdailyadvisor.blr.com

6 Key Reasons School Bus Drivers Quit
Why do school bus drivers quit? Here, a veteran driver presents a list of common concerns among his colleagues.www.schoolbusfleet.com
so, you were saying?
Then show me that citation for Wake County drivers.since they are part time and hourly, they don't get paid for time they do not work....that includes holidays, time off, summers, etc.
How on earth does pointing out their job duties make it childish? lolWow. Childish debating there.
why would they need unemployment for holidays if they get pay for it? you aren't using common sense.I was saying cite where Wake County bus drivers do not get paid holidays or insurance. You did not provide that citation.

I love old glassware, especially milk glass, etc. My favorite antique furniture items are mahogany. My daughter wants all of it...she loves my furniture. It is sad when our kids don't share our love of things though....the town where I spend part of the year has the distinct habit of passing homes from one generation to another...almost all of the homes here have been inherited from one generation to the next....which is wonderful.I collect old glass ware (old being the forties and fifties).

Because you are ignoring the most difficult part of their job duties despite having it pointed out to you repeatedly.How on earth does pointing out their job duties make it childish? lol
Mahogany is a beautiful wood. I have one piece that was handcrafted by my grandfather about 90 years ago. It is quite simple but the beauty of the wood is amazing. Also very heavy. My glass is a mixture of depression glass and Currier and Ives print tableware. Mostly very common, but some of it was gifted to me when I married 40 plus years ago. I have added to it over the years.I love old glassware, especially milk glass, etc. My favorite antique furniture items are mahogany. My daughter wants all of it...she loves my furniture.

depression glass is very attractive and can be very valuable, depending on the piece. Yes, much to my husband's dismay mahogany is very heavy.....he always asks me....are you sure you want it here....lolMahogany is a beautiful wood.

Many are doing more than 8 hours work. They are doing 10 or more hours of work a day.Irrelevant. They are paid per hour for 8 hours work. 2 routes or 10 is irrelevant.
Pretty much. Some people have no concept of what bus drivers and other school employees go through, have to put up with, have to at least know what to look for.This post is the most telling of all.
Watching children that aren't their own. Keeping them safe. Making sure that they get to where they need to be, whether school or home, safely.I agree. Which is why I correctly pointed out what their job duties are. Sit in a seat, driving around making frequent stops.
Have you? That is not only what bus drivers do, especially not good ones.Yes lol. Jesus have you never ridden a bus before?
And with what will you be negotiating? Please sir give us a raise? Let me know how that works out.'Many' school buses not running in Wake County as bus drivers demand better compensation
A significant number of Wake County school bus drivers followed through on their plan to not work Friday and could do so again Monday.abc11.com
I'm all for negotiating a higher salary for yourself, but i draw the line on strikes. I'm a parent in this county and I now have to drive my kids to/from school when i am PAYING for the service of school transportation. Every single person who walked off on strike should be fired IMO
Those parents, like myself, feel the pinch and work to fix it, to correct it.and it shouldn't be for government employees.
If the workers at Widget Co. go on strike, it is the Widget Owners who feel the pinch, and respond - or don't - accordingly.
If government employees go on strike, it is the American people we are hurting.
How would teachers be able to drive school buses for 3 different schools (which was normal even before the bus driver shortage) when each school is on different hours?In mine it was teachers earning extra cash.
They are making them work more routes, more hours, that is the point.If you can double or triple the expected outcome of a bus driver, one must wonder what they were doing with the extra time before. Sitting and waiting for a dispatch? Cleaning the bus? Schools run on schedules and if it is possible to schedule the routes so that a driver can safely do extra runs, I see no reason not to use that driver for the time he is scheduled to work
Apologies for being late to this but I agree with the above. What baffles me is why why anyone would consider it an inconvenience to have a chance for more time with one's children? I always considered the drive as quality time, but this was before smartphones came into play.I'm not shocked by the sense of entitlement in this thread but I am baffled by it. I've had parents chew me out for the stupidest things. And I think, what's the end game for you after you treat the person who is with your kids for hours a day like dirt? It makes no sense.
rahi doesn't seem to realize that School bus drivers do a lot more then just drive the busWatching children that aren't their own. Keeping them safe. Making sure that they get to where they need to be, whether school or home, safely.
I don't know how it worked - I was more focused on star wars books and Tolkien - but I know one of my teachers and a school nurse both drove busses.How would teachers be able to drive school buses for 3 different schools (which was normal even before the bus driver shortage) when each school is on different hours?
Now, maybe maintenance workers or cafeteria staff, but even that could be difficult.
A teammate of mine is in the same bucket - having to trade off days with his wife to drive the kids.Those parents, like myself, feel the pinch and work to fix it, to correct it.
My family was affected by this specifically since we go to Wake County schools. We took them in and picked them up on Friday and Monday, although by yesterday they had most of the drivers back anyways. Today they had a day off (I think teacher work day to allow for voting). Tomorrow should be back to normal.
So you're all for negotiating with no leverage whatsoever? Okay.I'm all for negotiating a higher salary for yourself, but i draw the line on strikes.
Who are the drivers an employee of? The county, or the bus company?A teammate of mine is in the same bucket - having to trade off days with his wife to drive the kids.
Elections happen infrequently, as do annual budgets. More to the point, government workers shouldn't be allowed to strike and hold the entire population hostage as a negotiation tactic - it's public service, not be served by the public.
No a lot of cities contract out their school bus service i don't know if that is the case in this case or notA teammate of mine is in the same bucket - having to trade off days with his wife to drive the kids.
