[QUOTE="Shady Tree at UPS, post: 388369, member: 16866"] What is so crazy or far from reality about enforcing the agreement we have made? It is our right to do all bargaining unit work and to halt the continuing abuse and non-recognition of our seniority rights! -Here are key points and helpful advice: _______________________________________________________________________ 1. Mgmt. is allowed to work due to excessive call-ins and acts of god and service failures. 2. This is were the line is drawn if they have had excessive turnover or higher than normal volume for the shift they are not allowed to work! It is they're responsibility to go by the extra work lists. 3. Be respectful if they are doing bargaining unit work say "If you continue to do bargaining unit work I will be forced to file"! 4. If they say things like "Im just trying to help or why are you being so rash?". Simply say "This is the contact that we as a whole agreed upon and we are not on salary we are paid by the hour and your taking money/food of my family's table". Any human should be understanding of this if not they will deal with the consequences. Incentives: _______________________________________________________________________ 1. If they disregard youre stance you will be paid double time for all time they worked. 2. Instead of always being under staffed and over worked Mgmt. will start using sufficient staffing to limit time and the blowing up of areas the best they can. 3. Enforcement of our seniority rights will be great all around for the simple fact of being able to use what you've earned. The ability for extra work, time-off, preferred jobs, etc. Cons: _______________________________________________________________________ 1. Be ready for harrasment. 2. Be on time and report every scheduled work day. Failure to do so will result in write-ups and suspension letters etc. 3. Do your job to the best of your ability. Failure to do so will be results listed above. Summary: this is what we have agreed upon and if we expect Mgmt. to follow the rules then we will be held to the same standards. In general dont give our union a bad name if you are one of the ones who cant show up everyday and on time or come in higher than a kite you most likely will keep youre mouth and eyes shut. I and others understand why you keep youre mouth closed. But us that are genuinely hard workers and dependable must band together and stop Mgmt.'s disregard of our NMA. I am willing to take the flak for the greater good and have no problem with attendance, I have missed one day in the past 8 months (option day). Nor do i have service issues i am proud to say i am very accurate at all jobs i have performed. This is not a battle cry or a rally for war it is simply a plead for all employees who are solid/great to quit looking the other way and for the high number of employees that are late, miss excessive days, or have horrible service problems to get it right or go home and if you do get it right get on board and start enforcing our agreement with us. Finally i have started the movement at my hub and it is being heavily welcomed by all including Mgmt. By all i mean union, non-union, and Mgmt. is loving the fact of finally getting to supervise and stopping the abuse on them by the big wigs as just loaders/unloaders stc. with a collared shirt on while hourly's are seeing across the board increases of their paychecks and actually recieving adequate staffing instead of being stretched so thin they break. -All it took for change was the $1300.00 grievence that was awarded for sup's working!
