[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 3575644, member: 11315"] I still want to see the fine print on this contract before I'll assume what's in it. a few thoughts that currently interest me : 1) FT Drivers don't want to work Saturday, let alone Sunday. Adding S-Th to the T-S doesn't sound like a popular option but it's the only other one available. Forget about routes as we know it now, you'll be bidding start times and towns instead. 7 day a week service IS going to happen, we have to choose our poison. 2) UPS will pay millions of dollars to make sure MAX volume goes to the weekend. They will do everything in their power to dwindle the staffing of FT drivers. If we forced FT pension contributions for the 2nd tier weekend work, would that change anyone's minds ? 3) If UPS came to the table and said "We have Amazon weekends and 5 of the biggest FedEx Ground accounts coming if you pass this contract" How could we say no to making UPS bigger ? Is it in our best interest to think long term and make sure UPS is on top and can't be toppled ? 4) Having a bunch of PT Teamster driver help (that actually contribute to our pension unlike casuals) during Peak would be helpful for Locals.
