Sysco chose to cut healthcare for supply chain workers during a supply chain crisis despite a 159% increase in profits last year.

>"Mean" is the average,... not a median or mode.
It's probably a mean, but you probably couldn't be successfully sued for defrauding the shareholders if you used the most flattering.
>The regulations strictly say 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 maximum. So I don't know where you are coming up with those numbers. And that's a maximum. Where are you getting that over 60 hours per week would be attainable or 70 in an 8 consecutive period.
FMCSA Interstate Truck Driver's Guide to Hours of Service March 2015
"If you follow the 70-hour/8-day limit and work 14 hours per day for 5 days in a row, you will have been on duty for 70 hours. You would not be able drive again until you drop below 70 hours worked in an 8-day period. However, if your company allows you to use the 34-hour restart provision, you would have driving time available immediately after 34 consecutive hours off duty. You would then begin a new period of 8 consecutive days and have 70 hours available"
"The use of a “valid” 34-hour restart resets a driver’s “weekly” hours back to zero. In addition, an individual may perform other on-duty tasks, such as loading or unloading and paperwork, after reaching the 60/7 or 70/8 hour limits."

>Actually, the company has legal obligations when it makes statements about employee costs as if it lies, it can be fraud against the share holders. So it is highly likely that those official quoted numbers are correct.
I never said otherwise. But a spokesman is going to pick biggest of mean, median, or mode and include all the bennies. Literally the job.
>Also, drivers are legally limited in the number hours and how long they can drive.
70-85 +/- just driving per average a week seems doable within regulations. That's not necessarily counting time/labor unloading.

If a company spokesperson says they "get" $110k, you'd be a fool to assume anything is left out. A spokesman's one job is to make the workers look as well compensated as possible.
They're working 12 to 14 hours a day. I'm assuming a six or seven day week.

An important part of policy is trusting the human being in the chair to implement it.

Assuming you even believe "company spokesman", $110k in compensation and benefits seems pretty fair for 70-90 hour weeks.

Not even a little. This guy was out on regular old bail.
This is an example of cash bail not keeping safe.

For anybody keeping score, this guy was out on bail. This has nothing to do with bail reform.
