Free stuff.

 

[Overpaid Union Thug]

for better or for worse? Only a couple years away

I predict that turnout for contract proposal meetings will be extremely low. Like always.

The night shift didn't want to lose their drug connection?

3 weeks ago before I was Union.

Good job on being a detective though

Ahhh....right, so now you're an expert. Riiiight. You'll be the same person posting in few months asking about the pay rate on Black Friday or if Christmas Day is a Sunday, what day do we get off that week?

 

[HEFFERNAN]

My pet peeve will get worse. It will take 5 years to make top rate. This is, without a doubt, the worse concession
the Teamsters ever gave to UPS. FYI for all you young drivers out there. When I made seniority I made top rate
in 30 days. It never should have started. And as a retiree I fully expect to get screwed somehow. But hey, I always
expected that anyway.

I agree with you on progressions but for some reason, they don't really use it to their advantage.
Yes, it's cheaper labor but they still send these guys home instead of using that advantage on the streets.
They pay top rate veteran driver's massive overtime when new driver's driving could easily bring us in at 5, like FedEx and USPS

Our contract fight will only be centered on Health Insurance.
Healthcare prices are only gonna skyrocket.

Expert or not, the same contract applies to someone who's been there a month or 100 years.

What's your beef all of a sudden? Beers on me dude

 

[olroadbeech]

some people are SO superior to others and have to constantly tell them. ha ha

And pension

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Why would healthcare be an issue?

The company will continue to pay their H&W contribution. It will be up to the union as to how they want to distribute that money.

Progression, two tier and technology will be the principal issues to be discussed.

 

[542thruNthru]

I'm sure the Tues- Saturday schedule will be addressed. Yes there is language but where I am the company doesn't like it.

 

[scooby0048]

Thanks for all the best regards and wishes to you as soon as possible. Hi my name is David from your DVR. The best to make sure that the message from you in advance for your email address is a very good morning.

WTF? Someone call a medic this ones not gonna make it.

 

[Coalminer2005]

I see a two tier wage scale eventually. Grandfathering those making over 36 at the end of this contract and topping the new drivers in the upper twenties. If it doesn't happen this contract it will be down the road similar to what GM did to their employees.

I'll be 3 years 3 months into my 4 year progression at the time the new contract hits. What does that mean for people like me? Do I get grandfathered in?

 

[Turdferguson]

Extra week of vacation, top out at $45 an hour, The return of the Christmas turkey and most hours you can work 47 hours per week.

 

[Tough Guy]

It's my hope that we can get better 9.5 language. Specifically, being eligible to file regardless of whether you run the same route 5 days a week or not. Floaters have no protection and that has to change.

No turkey is the deal breaker, next contract.
