[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1375767, member: 42270"] Maintenance of standards language is typically under each area's supplement; it basically codifies some forms of past practice. Essentially, it prevents the company from reducing working conditions/work rules/wages/benefits/etc. without negotiating with the local union. There's usually some boilerplate language along the lines of, "The Employer agrees that all conditions relating to wages, hours of work, and [B]general working conditions[/B], as negotiated or [B]agreed upon[/B], shall be maintained at not less than the highest standards at the time of the signing of this Agreement." It's not a silver bullet, but it can be used creatively to fight back against UPS doing things like taking away cell phone privileges. It's also rarely used because such a case would almost certainly deadlock at a panel and probably require arbitration between the local and company, which is incredibly expensive and time consuming.
