Currently at Cach, new hires get a $120 weekly bonus which started sometime last year. Are they allowed to do this? The Teamsters Central Region and UNITED PARCEL SERVICE Supplemental Agreement to the NATIONAL MASTER UNITED PARCEL SERVICE AGREEMENT states the following:
ARTICLE 19-MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 10
There will be no newly implemented incentive plans or bonus plans unless approved by the affected employees and the Union. Current plans will remain in effect unless grieved by the majority of the employees involved and approved by the Joint Area Committee:
(1) Individual grievances must be completed by each employee requesting the plan to be terminated and the grievances must be submitted to the local union within three (3) weeks of their being written.
(2) Once a grievance on this subject has been submitted to the local union, management is not to attempt to resolve the grievance with the grievant without a representative of the Union present.
(3) If a majority of the package car drivers in a center write grievances within a three (3) week period, the local union shall advise the Employer within one (1) week and submit the issue to the JAC for approval.
(4) The local union shall have the right to attend any meetings on this subject conducted by the Employer from the time the grievances are submitted to the JAC until they are heard.
So looking at the first paragraph, it looks like the weekly bonus is prohibited unless agreed by the Union. Am I missing something here?
