The union wants 22.4 jobs to help save the pension I believe that's how they came into play

What difference would it make for the pension though if it’s RPCD or 22.4?
More full-time jobs.
Means more people are paying into the pension

But there’s no reason those couldn’t have been RPCD positions.
What I'm trying to say was the Union was given the company a big break with those 22.4 jobs in order to save egg on her face with the failing pension plans

Yep, I'm sure it's going to be a ghost town. I don't see Preload or driver's coming in.

I got youThis comment is a joke. I dont NEED the money. I WILL NOT be laid off as I am a 2 year driver.
Saturday and Sunday is my weekend.
Keep backing this company that *s its employees over and breaks the contract.

Sounds like my center. 30-50% more Saturday routes then 22.4 drivers.
Months on end of non-bid routes running Tues-Fri and being cut Mondays... because excess volume is ran Saturdays. Union won’t do anything, multiple drivers have complained.

Just a dog
I work every Saturday and ignore ORS calls to work every Monday (outside peak). If every driver in my building did the same UPS would be forced to fill the M-friend positions left vacant by retirements.

Didn't you read what you voted on ?
The members are the Union. So in essence, you are right. They are weak.
Over half couldn't even bother to vote on the contract.
What you think the National negotiating committee's reaction was, when only 22% voted in the strike authorization ?
It was "Oh smilet".
Only a small percentage of people even cared.... and the rest certainly wouldn't have honored a strike line.
That's just the reality of it.

Actually, their reaction was, "Screw it- we don't have to work Saturday. Who cares if UPS people do? They can work the holidays that we don't have to work also. Let's give ourselves a raise and blame them". If you would just admit some of the crap the "elected leaders" pull perhaps more people will admit there is apathy among the rank-and-file.
I wholeheartedly agree with you that there is low participation. Perhaps you fellas might try to figure out that some of the blame is on....wait for it- the union. When things keep goIng backwards people kind of give up. But maybe you are right- the "elected leaders" are perfect and we are all bad.

No one is getting fired for not showing up on a make believe schedule.

Who do you think does the work on Saturdays, during an organizing campaign ?
Or, a monthly membership meeting on a Sunday morning ?
When do the "elected leaders" ever get overtime ?
Stop reading the TDU website.
This is the 1st time, you have ever acknowledged that.
Being elected into office is not an appointment for life.
If you think you can make a difference, go for it.
Recently, there have been 2 "well known" members of BrownCafe elected into office in their Local
We talk on a random basis, just to network and discuss "war stories".
Both will tell you.... it's not as easy as it seems.

They will find another reason..
