Their wives told them to do it or they did not want to get behind on their Harley payments.
I bet they were high seniority members also...

Winner. I know 30 year drivers that take off every year the week of Labor Day and Memorial Day just to get those extra two days pay. You need two extra days pay that bad? I would never take those weeks off. When I’m on vacation I wanna know that everyone is miserable at work all five days. Not four days, and one day where the whole workforce is off. I would never let extra days pay or possible strike dictate my vacation picks.

This is the way: take off the week before Monday holidays and add an extra day to your vacay.
But when I'm on vacay I take no pleasure imagining that "everyone is miserable at work all five days," which isn't necessarily true anyway ... and besides that's no way to think of your fellow Teamsters ... just enjoy your time off, brother, there's no need for ill wishes toward your brothers and sisters.

Exactly. This is what I to do every year. Week before those two holidays.
He may not be taking those weeks off because of the extra money.
Those 4 say work weeks usually suck
Especially the Tuesday after the holiday.

Don’t suck in feeders. Everyday is the same. Black Friday, week after Thanksgiving, week of December 20th. It’s for the extra money. And they can do whatever they want, I just find it funny that they need two extra days pay that bad, when they already have the best jobs with unlimited OT.
Everyone has their own reasons , I guess
22.4 language
Part-time starting rate
Better pensions
Stronger language on many other issues

sounds like more of the same?
Honestly there's many things that need to be addressed I think finally we got some leadership that's not going to cave in like the last administration.

I've seen a lot of these in the 40 years I've been there . Every contract has been an overall improvement with give and take from both sides.
both sides have things they need . Both sides have things they can give to get what they need.
company always reminds the union of competitive pressures they face. Union always talks tough.
at some point they have to work together . figuring out where that point is , is half the fun.

What if the Company tries to steal your pension benefits ... will you still be by the pool?

Seriously what happened in the 2018 contract was just plain weird...Hoffa throwing out that 50 % participation voting bylaw seconds after finding out that the rank and file voted it down, was a clear indication that it was predestined to pass no matter what the voting results were.
Then he retired....

If it happens it will be the Company’s decision.
I think it was his way of paying us back for almost getting voted out in 2016Seriously what happened in the 2018 contract was just plain weird...Hoffa throwing out that 50 % participation voting bylaw seconds after finding out that the rank and file voted it down, was a clear indication that it was predestined to pass no matter what the voting results were.
