[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1144882, member: 31414"] Too bad the IBT does not take advantage of modern methods of communication......which is FREE... Facebook, Email, Websites, Text Messages, etc. Also, mailing the flyer to the part-timers was a true waste of money.... Three sentences to let them know in [B]BOLD[/B] print ([B]absolutely not[/B]) that existing part-timers will not be making less than new hires. Not one part-timer that I have spoken with in our building will be voting to accept this tentative agreement. I agree that the IBT is nervous about ratification. Posting the Locals and the names of the individuals that "Unanimously Approved" the TA is maneuver to diffuse the backlash from disgruntled UPSers across the U.S.. Why would you waste valuable space to list names and Locals when the simple "Unanimously Approved" would have sufficed. [U]Were there no other highlights in the contract other than the economic comparison of FedEx drivers to UPS drivers?[/U] When making comparisons.....why not post productivity standards between FedEx drivers and UPS drivers? [U]If you're going to compare jobs, don't just compare the pay......compare ALL the aspects of the job including the level of harassment, number of hours worked, etc..[/U]. I've said this before and I will say it again.....our IBT needs a serious PR overhaul..... We're still treating members like they just "got off the boat".... Union members are much better informed than ever before. The Internet is proving to be the nemesis of our Union rather than an ally. [/QUOTE]
