[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 673542, member: 22662"] More carrot than stick. Come June, settlement increases will probably be in the area that they want people to improve in, namely accident and claim reduction. It's really now a matter of price negotiation. That is, "OK what we want isn't worth it to you for x dollars, so how about y (in such a case where y>x)". Same way they killed the union when, for a short time it existed in RPS. Settlement increases for all the contractor except the unionized terminals. Their contract can't be terminated because without signing the adendum, the contractor isn't in violation of any article of the contract. Besides, individual contract termination is a long, messy, drawn out slug-fest. Could you imagine what would happen if the company tried to terminate the contracts on a whole terminal? And really, MrFedex, don't we all want to change things to our liking? Let's not act like they are some kind of Evil Empire here. They are talking about incentives to get contractors to solve a problem that you and I have both agreed exists at ground. And in doing so they've remained true to the business model with risk/reward.
