Buy out

[Coldworld]

It's worked before.

I don't think 1000 bucks is going to cut it....people want healthcare for life like mgt gets and I don't think that's going to happen....

You would be surprised how many folks would check that "yes" box in exchange for $1K.

Nope...even the most stupid could see that giving away pension is a death blow...

.....even part timers?

I would hope so...

They don't vote so might not be that big of issue

For $1000 they might?
That's why it need not be on the table.

I agree...

Toss in a signing bonus and both will pass quite easily.

I would be willing to bet a month's worth of checks that they will toss a signing bonus offer out there with the first offer.

The beauty is when we vote it down the first time we demand the signing bonus remain (the company was willing to offer it the first time) and get rid of the other crap in the offer!

Why the need for a 2 tiered wage system when they lengthen the progression every contract?

 

[trickpony1]

This "bonus" that you are getting aroused about is heavily taxed.

The sad part is most PTers will see that as extra "beer money" and vote yes to whatever the offer is.

 

[LeadBelly]

Anybody think UPS would consider pushing for a two tier driver wage on the next contract? If so would they consider a buyout options for the old guys?

Nope

 

[BigUnionGuy]

Nope

A resounding Nope.

That question has been raised by the members, for the last 3 contracts.

And, there are numerous reasons why it will never happen.

....and that is exactly what the company is hoping will happen...

Who knows----maybe I'll stick around long enough to be "an employee of record" in order to receive my bonus check...

We can't have that progression move any more.... that is a non starter afaic....

I think you are getting confused with the dump the Trump campaign..

I don't see them asking for both----it would either be a 5 year progression or a lower top out for new FT hires.
