[QUOTE="BrownShark, post: 266950, member: 12148"] Fist, The real way this contract will affect future contracts is simple. Each time this point on, the company will want to negotiate earlier. The company has already proven it can take back 8 months of an already ratified agreement without the Teamsters lifting an eyebrow. This giveback period will only lead to further concessions down the road. We can stop it by showing the company that "we" the member employers will not allow our leaders and representatives to go to negotiations and do whats in "their" best interests, and even though "they" shook hands, it was all for nothing as the Teamsters did not have the approval of the membership. To me, that handshake means nothing. From now on, the company will try to force limits on drivers salaries, this time they lost that opportunity. They originally came with a "cap" of $24.00 top pay for all new drivers hired after January 1 2008 and only .30cents an hour for current drivers over 5 years. They will attempt this again in 2013. Next will come part time drivers capped at 4 hours a day or the splitting of an 8 hour workday between two part time drivers. You will see. We need to send a message to the company, you may sit with hall and shake his hand, but when you realize your holding his tail, the dog will bite you. Peace:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
