Cach brokers

[Imnomuggle]

Does anybody know why there are tons of brokers pulling loads out of cach every day? Seriously, it reminds of peak down there, just a steady stream of brokers pulling loads in & out all night long. Is there too much work for cach drivers? Is the company preparing these brokers for a possible strike? Or??? I've never seen this many on property outside of peak...ever!

Have you filed a grievance ?


No pics....

Or, it didn't happen.

I'm not a cach driver, I'm from the Wisconsin district thats why I wanted to know if anyone who worked in 705 or 10 knew why this is happening or if they are doing anything about it. I am down there about 3hrs a night and I see many, many brokers pulling UPS trailers; of course, some are pulling their own such as Werner & HMD, but the majority are pulling ours.

Plenty of pics are posted everyday on any of the UPS feeder profiles

Its happening company wide. They are under staffing the feeder departments and brokering out loads via coyote logistics.

Why?

 

[silenze]

Why?

It's cheaper to have a gypo pull it.
They are not paying any grievances. They are deadlocked all the way up to arbitration.

 

[Imnomuggle]

I hope they keep fighting all the way through arbitration...whats the point of the contract of they don't? I almost never see brokers/coyote taking anything from the WI centers so I don't have that many opportunities to file unfortunately.

Ah, got ya.

You can still file, but you won't get paid if they don't originate from your domicile.

Being 705 and 710 have "stand alone" contracts, I doubt they would arbitrate

every grievance. (from a cost stand point) But, could also file NLRB charges.

We don't have that problem here either.

Although, drivers will sometimes mistake sleeper team drivers for brokers.

They are trying to train new feeder drivers but they only have so many in road sups and the training is one on one...they need to have qualified feeder drivers do some training of new folks...

 

[BigUnionGuy]

Really ?

Did you just say that ?


Maybe some company loving smile**ss people would do it.

Wow... calling me a p@ and you doNT even know me!!! Wtf....I would rather our own guys train new drivers to get more FULL TIME DRIVERS THAN HAVE MGT DRAG THEIR ASSES AND USE MORE AND MORE GYPOS.... what's your problem with that idea????

 

[BigUnionGuy]

I would rather our own guys train new drivers

And assume the liability.... when they friend-up ?

Have at it.


Be careful, of what you wish for.


My Local would have no part of that nonsense.

I'm a bit confused by some of your reply's Mr BUG. Do you recommend your stewards file grievances they can't win? Why waste the paper?

Congrats. Your local must've moved to Upstate NY where balloons and seashells are handed out instead of warning letters.
There is no personal liability attached for driver trainers. If the IBT thought as you've responded, why does NM Art 6 Sec 5 exist.
The guy's trying to get more Teamsters on the payroll and you belittle him? That is a WOW.
