I just don't get it. Why would anyone be opposed to the POVs and the COVs being treated equally (with, of course, the exception of compensating the POV tech for using his vehicle)? Now, I realize that the hourly rate can, and probably will, always be debated, but it is hard to justify two different pay structures for basically the same type of employee doing the same type of work.
After all, both groups of employees work for the same company, doing basically the same type of work. Both groups are expected to work a minimum of 40 hours per week. Both groups are eligible for the same benefits. Both groups must meet reasonable minimum production requirements to keep their respective jobs. Both groups can earn additional money if they produce more than their minimum production requirement.
What it boils down to is that one group chooses to drive their own vehicle and the other chooses to drive a company vehicle. Are POVs, just because they choose to drive their own vehicle inherently more valuable to the company and more deserving that the COVs?
Actually, I suspect that even the union guys would support treating the COVs and POVs equally. They seem to support the notion of all employees being treated consistently.
