[QUOTE="soberups, post: 326982, member: 14668"] The '97 proposal would have allowed unlimited subcontracting in packages as well as feeder. UPS would have "bought out" the pension, only to eliminate all union employees and replace them with fedex ground-style independent contractors with no pensions at all. As to your second question; the burden of buying out Central States should have been on ALL fulltimers nationwide, myself included. As a bargaining unit we are only as strong as our weakest link. I am in the Western Conference, my pension is in good shape, but only if we can continue to bargain effectively on a nationwide basis. Do some reearch. Learn the facts. The 6 billion buyout from UPS wasnt charity. It was part of an overall economic equation, no different from any other contract we have ever negotiated....except the people who are really getting hosed havent been hired yet. [/QUOTE]
