[QUOTE="Dark_Team_135, post: 438634, member: 17242"] If you think about it, I can see that this issue had to have come up in some form during the negotiations. I can't imagine UPS agreeing to keep jobs in a location that has fallen so low on volume that it hasn't got enough work to keep the combo employees working. Right now, combo jobs are the only jobs at UPS that are protected from elimination. Can you imagine a building that had been completely closed down for lack of volume with 100 combo employees acting as security guards because there was nothing else to do? If we could get a copy of the bargaining notes, I bet this situation was discussed. I am guessing that the problem is that the Union didn't consider the possibility of UPS completely dissolving these jobs in one state and allegedly creating them in another. Some restrictions on the company's right to do this should have been negotiated. Let's hope that during the negotiations the Union actually discussed this issue and at least recorded some talk of restrictions in the bargaining notes that an arbitrator can use to stop some of this. BTW - In addition to the Central States payout, let's not forget the "gift" of 12,000 UPS Freight members as another reason for this contract being negotiated and sold to the members...:sad-very: [/QUOTE]
