Idea to rally the troops

I was thinking that maybe since this board isn't an official ERAC website; maybe we can use this messageboard to discuss our wants & needs for better working conditions.

It could be kinda like a union-thing; since if we all agree on this website we want better wages, better benefits, lunch breaks, etc maybe we can form a protest. If we all agree to walk out at once; then how could ERAC stay open-for-biz without treating all employees fairly from now on?

No more working extra long hrs weekends holidays etc. Who all is w/ me????

Maybe we can even get a small match on the 401k like the Wegman's & Burger King empoloyees get...

Why would you get a college degree and go union? That's kind of backwards in most fields.

i actually like the idea...

how about just straight up quit and get a real job. that sounds like a better plan. rather then working retail as a monkey with a suit on washing cars and portering customers around

do you like driving miss daisy? do you like washing cars in 40 deg. weather in your suit. do you like pretending you have a real job? do you really believe you will make money at ERAC?

the Taylors will never allow the lackeys like you to make more than minimum wage.... there is no money in the way ERAC rents cars to make the Taylors ultra rich and pay you a fair wage too.... if you like retail then become a managment trainee at Wal-mart or McDonalds - they both pay better in the short and long term.. ERAC is for losers

a few colleged educated positions that are typically unionized:
-teachers
-police
-city employees
-college employees

not saying it would work at erac...turnover is too high and since the idea is to become "management" i don't think the mts would have enough pull on their own.
guranteed, though, nothing would shake the good ole' boy club in STL more than if their employees petitioned to unionize

teachers, city, and college employees are unionized to keep themselves from doing any work and are a drag on our society. Police don't even need a union since they can't really strike.
you're right, I don't think a union at erac would work either. The point is, why even go to college if you want to make a career of a profession like renting cars.

That is the million dollar question....

Why go to college if you are happy renting & washing cars???

Any ACTIVE ERACers out there want to handle this one?

Here's the answer from an ex-ERACer. I left ERAC after about 2 years.

I can tell you that back when I worked there I was convinced that renting cars required brains; and that I was going to be the one that became an Area Manager someday....and my grades in college were piss-poor so I wasn't confident I'd get any other job....

I think that about sums it up...

here is the easy answer - people out of college do not know any better. they have limited direction. need a job, and want to prove to their parents that they are able to land a job on their own. i remember erac was at my college and the one person said "enterprise sounds like a great start" my initial reaction was why the fuck would anybody want to get in the car business if they went to college. i should have trusted my first instinct. i committed to erac as business major they made it seem lucrative to a business grad. what a joke. that is why people sign up; they market their company well and prey on college kids. they won for a while, but just like the internet did to car sales and made the customer more educated is the same thing this site and word of mouth will do to enterprise in the long run. college campuses are barring enterprise across the country and erac has lowered credentials needed as no degree and juco associates are excepted now. it will crash and bun sonner or later and erac will be nothing more then a fast food type busineses with uneducated retards running them.

Or only a job an illegal immigrant would want. I have noticed more Filipinos and Mexicans working at E-Crack lately.
