Contract proposals for 2018

My question would be, durability? How long would a cellphone last working it 12 hours a day? I just purchased the iPhone 7. It's about $800. My plan is about $100 a month for unlimited everything (AT&T union shop). My last phone lasted 2 years. Being generous to UPS, I'm guessing that under delivery conditions a cell phone would last a year, maybe. So $2000 a year minus all the possible days I could collect $5 is $1300. I get 6 weeks vacation but I didn't take that into account. Unless they just mean at peak.

This is an effort to collect campaign information to use in 5 years. Anyone that thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.

Would this somehow give UPS the ability to claim they pay for the 'right' to require our cooperation, GPS usage, access to our phone records while on the clock, or afford them an expanded avenue to discipline for perceived shortcomings or malfeasance?
That's a very slippery slope.
My phone is mine and I like it that way.
I vote no on that one.

So, it's a personal choice.
Veterans can run a route off a map, or knowledge.
Newbies need their phone.
Got it.

....we all can run off a map, not just veterans ???
Newbies think they need their phone, but they don't....not for work anyway.
Since the implementation of Saturday delivery, I find myself using a map every Monday....
....and I'm finding it to be very lucrative.
My points were nothing like you're painting it?
No worries, good try.
You just didn't think it all the way through.
Shake it off.

I'm dead serious.
Look I initially "liked" your proposal....
.....until I thought about what UPS would absolutely try and realize in their new 'investment' in my cellphone.
If they need me to carry an additional device, they can pay for the whole nut,....
.....but need not have any claim on my cell phone.

I'm very calm..
It wasn't a swing and a miss, rather a 'foul' ball.
No "big" deal....
....now get back in the batters box and take another swing.

We don't have a union, and the contract is practically worthless. Our union president has taken our dues and had a big party at the union hall, complete with hiring his entire family and the woman he is banging on the side.
Perhaps there are places in the country that actually have representation, but from what I've seen at our building and heard from others I know out of state, it's the same anywhere you go.
The company is on a mission right now, and the union could care less. All it wants is its dues. UPS knows it can do whatever it wants, and they show that on a daily basis.
I'm telling you right now that UPS is coming after your pension sooner or later. Anyone in management hired after 2006 just lost their pension. Before long, UPS will be operating like FedEx ground.
If you ask me what I want in the new contract, I want it to be made from toilet paper so I can wipe my ass with it.

I thought it was in the middle... when did they move it?

@Monkey Butt please don't let this thread take off. There is already one with thousands of responses in the union forums.

I propose you do a search, then start a thread. Maybe try your luck with a Saturday ground thread, a footwear thread, or an Amazon drone thread. We could always use another one of those. Or try socks too!
