[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1149721, member: 42691"] [url=http://tdu.org/news/abf-teamsters-vote-concessions]ABF Teamsters to Vote on Concessions | Teamsters for a Democratic Union[/url] Take a look at some of these concessions. Loss of vacations. Increased subcontracting. Makes it much easier to fire employees. Local grievance hearings eliminated. Supervisors can work. If this is anyone's idea of union leadership, we are in big trouble. All it takes is one or two bad quarterly results from UPS before the next contract and we will all be looking similar concessions. The fact of the matter is, our leadership is demonstrating that it has little spine when it comes to standing up to a rocky situation. If this were a strictly financial hardship, then why are they going after terminations? Why are they increasing wages down the line after immediately reducing wages by 7%? Why eliminating local hearings? Why allow supervisors to perform bargaining work? Let me guess...this is all a TDU hoax? Stink? 407? Is this all a lie? No? Then someone explain where the national leadership is on this negotiation. Because if it is this easy to conduct a fire sale when the numbers go a little south, then you better bet your ass we will be next, and whoever is leading us will take similar stand. After that, we are all friend%*&cked.... [/QUOTE]
