This could be part of it but it seems to me that they are using the technology to push it hard.
It certainly raises some flags Compared to how stuff was done before.
Has the IBT ever pushed harder for a yes vote?

I agree brother. But they are enticing younger part timers with a nice raise, drivers in progression a nice raise and people on the IBT UPS pension plan a bump up in 2020
And the "promise" of 5000 new full-time jobs.....

Not if the IBT hadn't agreed to this crap in the first place and it still shouldn't be that way.
If the IBT takes a no vote back to the table and can't make the contract better without giving up other stuff then we need new negotiators.

I asked a guy ON THE NNC if we ever actually got the Full time jobs from the last contract his response was " I imagine somebody somewhere is keeping track of all that" VERBATIM
And if we did "get them" we lost new RPCD jobs along the way.

There is no such thing as "RPCD".....it's a fictional term.

Just have gotten in the habit because the opposition keeps stating "these ARE full time jobs" when talking in the context of addind full time jobs. I agree with you though.
What I'm trying to say is that we haven't gained any new full-time routes in awhile, even with the explosion in new volume over the years.

What I am trying to say is that this term "RCPD" is a fictional job classification that presently holds no contractual onus.
My observation and confusion stems from the overwhelming acceptance of this acronym, in the face of so much negativity to it's reciprocal, fictional job classification 22.4 hybrid driver.
This is why I am making a point to intentionally botch this acronym "RDPC", in hopes of counteracting some of the hypnosis that seems to be taking place.

How else do we get the information?why would they not push a yes vote they just spent the better part of a year negotiating. Let's see all view points and info
What are you willing to give up in return

I just assumed we were all using it in jest. I laugh a little each time I see the ridiculous term

Go to a union meeting. Like it's been done for 100 years
The information is the agreed language. Once we have that, we really don’t need 3 alerts a day on how awesome it is. Let the chips fall where they may. Beyond the indifferent 9.5 language and deplorable 22.4’s, the contract is decent. Unfortunately, those 2 are huge deal breakers.
The alerts was getting on my nerves. And yes the 22.4 language is horrible
