[QUOTE="scratch, post: 163934, member: 1674"] From what I have been able to gather, the IBT and UPS exchanged non-economic proposals October 19th, the union wanted to negotiate pensions and healthcare first. There has been eight sessions since January 22, with four more scheduled next week. Due to a news blackout, little info has come out, and this is certainly frustrating for union members. According to a TDU contract website, the IBT has been trying to get stonger restrictions and penalties for company violations for excessive overtime, subcontracting, supervisors working, and so on. UPS supposedly has refused to negotiate these points because "it gets into economics". The bottom line, its still about a year and a half before the current contract runs out. Its way too early to do this, although it would be great for everyone concerned to get it done early. I have always hated contract time, especially the last month or two before they get settled. There are too many rumors and misinformation put out. From my standpoint, I care about retirement benefits being improved. A company match on our 401K would offset pension losses, but IBT couldn't get their hands on it. [/QUOTE]
