Perhaps -- and this is a guess, nothing more -- they get overtime pay for the Saturday work? Given this city's history of giving the unions just about anything they ask for, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.

Does anybody know the scheduling details of how Streets copes with the periodic challenge of removing 5 days' worth of trash in a 4-day week? Now they've got dueling programs, thus twice as many opportunities to fall behind. There must be more to it than meets the eye. I've long been tied to a similar industry in my private life, for several different employers, and 4-day weeks are always a killer for us as well. Sometimes we pull it off gracefully, sometimes less so. So I feel some sympathy for the trashmen and I'm curious how they go about it. -- Tony West > They took my recycling today but left the trash. > > Paul > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Wilma de Soto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Glenn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; UnivCity listserv > > <UnivCity@list.purple.com> > Sent: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 8:21 pm > Subject: Re: [UC] Illegal trash update > > I put the trash and recyclables today after checking last evening if > it > was a Blue Week. > > There were empty Recycling Receptacles across the street, but mine > were > not collected. > > Well, better luck in two weeks. ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
