[QUOTE="Bloodybrown, post: 374032, member: 12349"] You had over 200 arbitrations at the time? I believe you, 705 deadlocks so many cases its a joke. You rarely, if ever will admit that an employee is wrong or if a grievance has no merit so you deadlock it and drag it out for months or years. You see Red I grew up in Chicago and worked there for years. I will be collecting part of my pension from local 705. I have friends that are feeder and package car drivers as well as management. Your local operates like no other that I have ever seen. I know where I'm working currently we settle things in the local level hearings and at state panel hearings. We rarely deadlock to the JAC. You guys rarely settle and don't use the JAC, Why? It goes to arbitration and the loser pays, correct? Do you realize how much money is wasted by arbitration? UPS is hurting the customers or is your local? I know of 2 win backs from fedex worth over 10 million dollars that have decided not to make the switch due to the publicity. I am sure there are many others. I also know that my District is working 50 to 75 package drivers less than a year ago and 25 less feeder drivers. These are teamster jobs!!
