Negotiations started this morning.Anyone hear anything on a new 705 deal? Deadline approaches.
Thanks for the link; interesting. I'm 710 and our negotiations are in process but neither side is budging yet. So far just hot-air yak.
I noticed 705 wants to allow full time employees to bid on 22.3 jobs. Wouldn't that be bidding down?

Our sole 22.3 in my center went there from friend/T driving, is that not allowed?
705 has posted their proposal online at their website for all to see

The 705 & UPS committees must come up with a tentative agreement (incorporating all the changes) which will then be voted on by the union members. If the members vote yes, it's a contract. If they vote no, the committees go back to the bargaining table.I need some clarification. First, this is for Local 705 (Chicago area) only.It says on the website that was posted in this thread that all that is underlined is to be added to the current language. So... that means what exactly? These are only the proposals each side is presenting to each other.Anything underlined is for sure going to be part of the new contract? How could anything be certain if the contract is yet to be agreed upon? So are the part timer pay raises a sure thing then? Please clear this up for me. Thanks.
I don't understand. A 22.3 job is full-time, what's the problem with full-time employees bidding on full-time jobs?
Once you bid on a 22.3 position and get it. You are locked into that position. Their is no lateral movement from your 22.3 to another 22.3, or driver position, or back down to part-time status. The only 2 movements a 22.3 is allowed is upward towards management or 2 quit.

Remember these are proposals from ups to the union and the union to ups. Anything that is underlined that party would like to insert into the contract, anything that has a line through it that party would like to have it deleted. Both sides have wording they would like to insert or remove and that is done through the process. Nothing is set in stone at this time, however there are tentative agreements on some aspects of the contract.
There are as of right now 8 dates scheduled to meet to get a contract in place by 8/1/08.
The website gets updated with all proposals union and ups's almost daily.
