My guess is it passes. Too many people worried about money they don't have. They aren't concerned about much else because that check is already spent.
If I am hearing correctly 705 received the one punch a month on Teamcare. That was one of the things I was hoping changed knowing Teamcare was inevitable.
Those who vote yes will complain and cry foul soon after ratification and want back what we gave up next time around. You can lead horses to water but you can't make them drink. I just pray that no one gets a long term illness because you'll need to punch in once a week to keep your health insurance.

My math wasn't right, sorry for posting inaccurate info. According to the wages table published, Non-CDL Shifter is $1.91 less than Tractor Driver.

What does "giving us nothin" mean? Are you saying you have been asking stewards, business reps/agents and the executive board questions and have not received any answers?
Are there any specific issues you want more information about? If you just want a simple answer to "WHEN DOES THE NEW CONTRACT EXACTLY TAKE EFFECT?", there isn't a simple answer.

Ha… good luck finding one. 99% of the people I work with don't know who their steward is, have never met a union representative of any kind (their peers aside), and are not in any way actively represented. Part timers may as well not even be in the union. The union could care less about us.
Sadly, the only people to blame are our representatives. They make no effort to make themselves known, make themselves useful, or even be bothered to pass along the smallest bits of information.

I can certainly see where you're coming from. Did you ever get a call back from the union hall about the upcoming change in operations, or did you not even get a chance to leave a message?

Nope, called the hall, and UPS HR… neither deemed it worth calling me back. You'd think the union would be more interested in the operational changes at Addison as, as far as I've heard from most people, if they aren't staying, they're taking the layoff. The only option presented us with a midnight shift is Hodgkins… which is about 40 minutes minimum from Addison. Very few people are willing to commit to a 1.5 hour commute to work for the privilege of working 3.5 hours a day for just about minimum wage… especially those who aren't getting benefits yet. That's going to be alot of people no longer paying dues.
It should also be noted that the last day of normal operations is two weeks from Friday, and absolutely no one knows where / if they are expected to be working come the following monday. Fun times.

It was announced at the Sunday meeting, that 2013 seniority dates were the cutoff for PT. I hope that was correct and no misinformation was disseminated. If a layoff with recall rights was an option, I don't doubt it's the best option for many at the bottom rates and no other benefits yet.

Well, exactly 0% of that information has been passed on to the people it will effect. Great job.

No one I know at Addison has heard anything regarding transfer or layoff.

Sorry 710,705 members discussing your future, the wise and all knowing Atomic Smurf has entered your thread. He will offer no remedies, mind you, but he will blame every single problem you have had since the beginning of time on Obama and Dems

WHY ISN'T THERE A SIMPLE ANSWER? As a part-timer w/over 7 yrs service n more sense than a billygoat, I TRULY WANT ANSWERS, (after paying more than a couple grand for 'union representation' LOL), that's the very least I'd expect! Wait in n watching closely!

It's funny that, with 7 years in, you still think that the teamsters care about what happens to you, your job, or what you think of them. They might help you out in a pinch in you force them to by filing a grievance, but in a case like this, good luck.

Not even amusing. I KNOW this bunch is only interested in me showing up to work, so they can collect three (3) times my hourly public.
Regarding representation, I've done very well without them...4 outta 5 monetary grievance wins, just by using common sense n 'the lil black bible's' verbiage.
