[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 357109"] The current contract runs from 12/19/2007 thru 7/31/2013. No contract provision or guarantee extends beyond midnight, July 31, 2013 unless the parties specificly make a new agreement to that effect. [ It's the same with Congress. No Congress can bind a future Congress by passing a Law that can't be repealed or modified. The future Congress can just pass a new law repealing or modifying the old Law. ] When the next round of contract negotiations begins in 2012 or so, UPS can propose that all 22.3 jobs be eliminated, and the Teamsters will have to give up something to keep the jobs (assuming they want to keep the jobs.) That's the big weakness of labor negotiations. You often have to give up something to get something. You often end up "buying" your contract improvements. (Like when we New Englanders, years ago, gave up Washington's Birthday to get a different day off as a holiday --- The Day After Thanksgiving or December 31st, can't remember which.) [/QUOTE]
