[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 387648, member: 1912"] A couple of interesting things skimming this contract. I see a lot of redundant excess language in this contract. I'm not sure why it would in the contract other then to give the parties something to talk about while their waiting to start the last minute theatrics. Article 15 Military clause - Interesting choice of articles. Those who served in the military know an article 15 was a form of military discipline. Article basically states that the company will comply with the provisions of USERRA for employees going on military leave. And it allows UPS the rights to exceed the provisions of USERRA. Ok. USERRA stands for the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. Its a law or set of laws that UPS already has to comply with and UPS has always had the right to exceed it so why even bother adding the language to the contract. Also a lot of TAW / Workmans comp language in the contract that basically restates local law same thing with the FMLA language nothing new above and beyond the actual law so why put it in the contract. Someone was wasting time when they should have been discussing the real issues at contract time. Much of this appears to be language put in prior to the present 705 administration. Seems like a waste of paper. [/QUOTE]
