[QUOTE="helloitsme, post: 317017, member: 7827"] I am going to take the time to try to explain this. I believe the OT question has been answered in another post. As far as the A and B comparisons,that was PAINSTAKINGLY put together by an employee at his OWN cost for the benefit of wages and health care savings under the Indianapolis Freight Agreement. It was not put out by the Teamters Union at all. As far as the insurance being paid while on medical leave,that was addressed to hall,the lead negotiater for the Teamsters Union, at that meeting. He said he would address this in the negotiations,but,no promises. As far as holding out for what the parcel boys make....I have one question for you ? How well do you know the freight biz. The profit margins between freight and parcel are way different. Parcel is much more profitible than freight will EVER will be ! UPS will never agree to that. We will be close to being the highest paid freight drivers in the nation. We are not advocating a work stoppage either, if that's where your thoughts were heading. Please keep in mind this is the FIRST CONTRACT. It won't be great,but,it wont be bad either. I can guarantee you this. UPS wants the freight division to be Unionized. A contract lets them know five years in advance what thier operating exspenses will be. Also, it eases tensions between Freight workers and Parcel workers because we will ALL be under contract and the Parcel guys won't be thinking that the company will be farming thier work out to non-union employees in the freight division. Also,since I believe this has been the grand scheme of things from the beginning,I think that any terminal which doesn't join the Teamsters union will see thier jobs whither up and blow away to the majority of the barns who have "seen the light" ! I was employed at "o" during the teamsters strike and I will agree some of the B.S. pulled by BOTH sides was wrong. The fact is that as much as I liked working at Overnite,it is only a memory now and it will never be the laid back, family oriented company it once was. There is only UPS now and they know how to do one thing really well,make money. I would hate to think what it will be like working for them WITHOUT THE UNION. [/QUOTE]
