[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1210790, member: 42691"] A clear cut submission to UPS in the contract. Two weeks doesn't mean much, but the precedent is everything. I've said it once, I'll say it again: I would rather a freeze in our wages and eliminate subcontracting and free work periods. That is the long term security view for us. The short term view is bumps in wages and the continual creep of non-union workers doing our work. Wages? We won. For years now, we have been the highest paid in the industry. So if we were smart, we would seal off the leaks and force UPS to use Teamsters, and not subcontractors to do our work. How would management bargain with us when we said, "No thanks, our wages are good. You keep that money. We want more Teamster workers in our buildings and on the streets." They would be playing on our turf then. Instead, our leadership thinks pricing us out of the labor market is the best strategy. [/QUOTE]
