[QUOTE="Ancient Alien, post: 3597568, member: 70963"] The working environment has changed. Pensions are failing across the nation. UPS is a nation of PT jobs. Employees don't want to realize that UPS makes a lot less per package today then they did 20-years ago. In order to keep their profits up and costs/rates down. They must add more stops/pieces to each employee. We all know it's at a peak, especially during peak. So they must hire more loaders and drivers but no way they could keep their profits up and shareholders happy if they just added 3 trucks to each building. So UPS/Teamsters negoiate. UPS says listen you got a problem and we got a problem. Your problem is in the Central States your members will lose their pension in 2025, plus your reducing pensions across the north east. Our problem is we've slashed incentives to our management team with restructuring the MIP program and ending our pension infusion by 2023. UPS tells the union there is no denying these facts. The union is listening and to protect the future of all members as a whole. This is the best way that still provides a very respectable wage for the hybrid driver making over $34 an hour in 5-years. UPS is in need of new planes, trucks and buildings. They must always have a surplus of cash. IBT is in need of more members producing more revenue into our pensions. Don't kid yourself that UPS couldn't lock us all out and hire maybe 60,000 drivers off the street and sift through scabs willing to come back to drive at their pay and hire the other 60,000 at $20 an hour as ALL NON UNION employees. Don't forget now the Jobs report in May added 223,000 jobs when our country needs to be at 150,000 added per month. There's workers out there itching to be employees at UPS... Union or NO Union. Plus, let's not forget it's known as a "Democratic Union", the Republicans and Trump would love nothing more than to see the Teamsters fade away. So forget about getting $10 more an hour of the life of the contract and FOCUS on maintaining a healthy lifestyle on a very, very decent BLUE COLLAR wage! Smile! Fitty Luvs Ya! :) [/QUOTE]
