[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1088372, member: 42270"] There were over 1000 people connected when hall started ~12:06 PM EST or so. One of the other stewards from my local couldn't get on because the lines were jammed (good job there, TDU - you would have been better off recording it and posting it online instead of leaking the IBT notice) so I had to keep him posted via Facebook.. Main points he mentioned: We aren't planning on budging on health care. Tighter SurePost language, including mandatory arbitration to terminate the program if the company starts abusing the program like they have. More avenues for PT'ers to go full-time, including 22.3's, package cars, and feeders. No specifics mentioned, other than acknowledging the company isn't filling vacated combo jobs. Tighter 9.5 language and including cover drivers under the article. [B][I]Raising starting wages/wages in general for PT'ers[/I][/B]. This was another priority - he addressed the transient nature of UPS PT'ers and their lack of participation. He also acknowledged many want a FT job. Production harassment - he mentioned, again, that this was a high priority. He also addressed the reasons behind the so-called "brown out"; tentative agreements are just that - [B]tentative[/B]. He said if the IBT leaked info, the company could try and weaken other articles in exchange while putting the word out via mgmt to the membership that we're getting a great deal. "National Days of Actions" may also be coming if UPS continues to complain about health insurance. [/QUOTE]
