Among others issues with the proposed agreement, the following changes and additions motivated the motion to reject:
Economic
- The raises contained in the agreement, both hourly and mileage rates, fall below the guaranteed increases in the 2008-13 Contract.
- There has been no solid information on how the move from the company health plans to Central States will affect members.
- There are no pension increases in the first four years. The fifth year contains an increase of only $5.00.
- The 4-year progression contained in the proposed agreement is entirely unacceptable to members moving into full-time positions.
- The penalty pay language contained in Article 17 is concessionary, raising the dollar amount on pay shortages.
- There are no protections on full-time positions.
- The starting wage continues to be substandard and continues to subject our newest members to poverty.
Non-Economic
- 9.5 language falls very short of fixing the problem and does not protect members with less than four years of seniority.
- The proposed Article 37 language does nothing to fix harassment issues.
- Article 14 language will result in job loss for members who cannot return to work in three years.
- The problems with Surepost have not been fully addressed. Package Car routes will continue to be depleted.
