[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1122466, member: 17969"] The problem that "I" have as a member and former officer of the Teamsters, is the change of directions that Hoffa / Hall continue to make during these negotiations. First, they said they would put an end to surepost and were willing to strike over it, today, they say that surepost is a part of the business and the company needs a "no frills service for ground deliveries". What I told hall was simple. How can the postal service be a "no frills service" when they deliver all their packages before 6 pm and "WE" being the superior service are delivering our packages after 8pm on a daily basis? Can there be a lower "no frills" service than delivering ground packages after 8pm in the evening? hall had no explanation to this challenge. Next, hall stated in the begining that they wouldnt stand for the membership having to pay for health care costs, and today, the Teamsters are asking the membership to allow them to take over our health care plans. Yes, it may start out as a no cost program for about a year, then a vote of the board and "PRESTO", we are stuck paying for health care and there would be nothing we can do about it. Third, in the begining, in a conference of committee members, hall spoke about increases in pay to cover "inflation" and members contributions to the companies success. Today, he brought to the table 1.0007 an hour for full time members. That is a "JOKE". At the end of the day, Hoffa / Hall has been "WEAK" at best and they "BOTH" have placed us as members into a very bad position. Like bad poker players, they have taken a good hand and made it a bad hand by dropping the ball on all issues. We are now going to be put into a position where we have to "REJECT" the unions proposal to take over our healthcare, which "forces" Hoffa / Hall back to the negotiation table with UPS, where UPS will tell the Teamsters to "pound sand" and we are back at square one on the issue, OR, the teamsters cave in and present to us the company's position for a vote. Either way, this doesnt have a happy ending. In the next contract, you will see an ugly outcome for healthcare, Surepost will continue to grow , technology will continue to take out our members, 22.3 jobs will be lost and we wont see a raise large enough to cover inflation. It sucks. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
