They created all those full time positions from those 22.4’s to RPCD. Here I think they were still considered part time I believe.

22.4 was full time
Just at a lower pay rate

No I know, but like they still had part time seniority here. Since they got bumped up to RPCD doesn’t that change their seniority to FT. Or were the 22.4s not part of the job creation obligation?

It was a new full time classification

A priority when things are going well. That's why there is layoff language in there also.

The company could just end up laying off permanently a ton of Teamsters.

Yeah, not sure how the company can create jobs for volume that doesn't exist. They aren't going to hire inside staff and drivers to sot and deliver non-existent packages. What does the contract say are the ramifications if the jobs are not created by the end of the agreement? Are there specific penalties listed within the agreement?

Lots of supervisors doing work and just paying grievances, and I hear lots of drivers filing 9.5 every day. Feels like they can hire more people. I have no clue if 30,000 worth, but definitely some

UPS isn't even filling the positions of drivers that retired and the union isn't doing about it. So are they going to fight for those jobs along with the "30,000" that are supposed to be created? The teamsters have ed around for too long and I'm not sure if there's any coming back from it.

UPS in Talks With Startup Figure AI to Use Humanoid Robots - TT

UPS Inc. is in talks with robotics startup Figure AI to use humanoid robots for some tasks in the logistics giant’s network, according to people familiar with the matter.

Can current human employees slow down to the speed of the robots?
Show us how it works out with smalls flooding the belt as it is during peak.
No footage of robots opening the bags and dumping the smalls onto the belt?
This video is all staged, as it is rare to have smalls so far apart....

Section 38 of the contract deals with layoffs. Why would that be there unless layoffs are a possibility?

Subcontracting language is in there but is automation subcontracting?

Hard for tough guy to demand the company add jobs when the work is not there.

@Doublestandards is right, no need to let sups be doing our work, even if the jobs saved is few. File those grievances.

I would like to see how it handles leakers, overgoods and irregs.

I grieved a supervisor for doing union work and they tried telling me and my coworkers that by grieving we are causing more layoffs. They are telling workers that management doing union work creates more jobs and prevents layoffs, because the numbers will look better and they’ll give us more volume. They say that if we grieve, and managers stop working, the numbers look worse and they will take volume away

That's BS

Our car wash guys are much fatter than our feeders.

I passed one of my old package buddies today and that sum bitch was fatter than me and I was a feeder driver for 9 years and have been retired for close to 4 years.

There's a decent amount of companies working on humanoid robots. The Muskrat is doing it at Tesla.

I hate this level of gaslighting, just grieve and write everything that smooth brain said to bring it up at the meeting and get paid for his mental handicap.

Hey there. I’m a thirty plus year driver. Give me a few more years before you bury me

Being a 30 year driver is something to brag about--30 plus -not so much.

 

[Over70irregs]

Those are bitch made scabs. Now a lot of them got laid off. them.

Those jobs were struck for back in 97. Company has been chasing them forever.

I've lost about 30lbs since I retired and in better physical shape also. Don't want the extra weight to carry when backpacking six miles up the side of a mountain.
