[QUOTE="35years, post: 3313777, member: 60822"] And they are doing it before the contract so pt will get used to the bump. I am sure UPS also sees this as a tool to split the membership. Some locals get the increase, some don't. Look for the following to happen before the contract vote... -1 Physically isolate work groups in the AM by moving PCMs. -2 One on one talks with drivers and management with the conversations subtly manipulated towards talking about competition, how much more we make etc. -3 Breaking solidarity between drivers by physically spiting them, bad mouthing active union employees, morning meetings with only new hires present etc. -4 Buddy-buddy attitude by management. They will be there in the P.M. now to shoot the breeze. They will buy lunch when they ride with you. Please don't forget about this last peak (70 hr rule, forced Saturdays etc.) Anything that breaks unity between union employees or strengthens management-employee relationships. Along with the sales pitch of skyrocketing healthcare and pension costs...more lower paid competition... will be the themes. [/QUOTE]
