[QUOTE="BigUnionGuy, post: 1146968, member: 4992"] Let me try and help you with this one. No Local in the Central Region has had the "autonomy" to strike.... ever. As the result of a [I]deadlocked grievance[/I].... it was the last option. But, that decision was made by the Teamsters Central Region Director. (And ultimately.... the IBT) Any action by a Local would be a "wildcat". That language, was first put in to the Central Region language in 1973.... long before the National agreement. Prior to that.... deadlocked grievance's were referred to arbitration for final disposition. (No option to strike) Nope. There is a chain of command. All Locals know the procedure. I know what InsideUPS' concerns are.... In 1993, there was a "new" subsection added to Article 17 (the discipline section). Specifically.... Article 17 (i) [I]other serious offenses[/I]. Since then.... it has been the most abused subsection, of that Article (As another example of the company's abuse of agreed too language). The intent of that subsection was.... [I]serious offenses[/I].... Like fighting or sexual harassment. But, over the years.... the company has gone [I]way[/I] beyond it's original intent. To the point, of ridiculous extremes. That brings us to now. In every Central Region contract negotiation since 1997.... The Union wanted that language removed. The company's counter offer was to "remove" the strike clause (thus eliminating both). It seems now.... there is a different agreement. -Bug- [/QUOTE]
