[QUOTE="browned out, post: 3960311, member: 8105"] (From Local 243 website [URL='http://www.teamsters243.org']www.teamsters243.org[/URL]) DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS: Once the Local 243 Metro-Detroit Rider was rejected, we resumed bargaining in hopes of reaching an agreement that would address the concerns raised repeatedly by UPS members during our many Steward meetings, membership meetings and visits to the various buildings. Local 243, at the direction of our Stewards, Commiteepersons and Members, has worked to secure improvements on Article 22.4 combo drivers; increase seniority protections; extend Local 243’s Rider to Lansing, Jackson and Adrian; guarantee pay for the time members take acquiring and renewing Airport Badges; and other issues. Your Bargaining Committee has aggressively stood by the demands and issues you raised at our various meetings and visits. After only four (4) bargaining sessions, UPS refused to continue to meet and bargain. On January 18, 2019, Local 243 filed National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) charges against UPS for failure to bargain in good faith, including their refusal to continue bargaining. Local 243 believes progress can be made in these negotiations if we could just get UPS back to the table. We must stand united in doing what is right if we hope to negotiate a Rider that will improve job security, protect seniority and enhance working conditions. We must never let UPS divide us. The only way that we will win is by WORKING TOGETHER AS A UNION. Over the past few months UPS has been incorrectly informing members that the Local 243 Metro-Detroit Rider is the only Rider holding up implementation of the National contract and the retroactive pay. This is totally false. Currently, there are four (4) unresolved Riders. Between now and the vote be prepared for even more incorrect statements and allegations from the Company.

TEAMSTERS LOCAL 243 UPS BARGANING COMMITTEE [COLOR=#660000]Somehow other supplemental negotiating committees were able to get this language right the first time. Frustration with 243's negligence is at a fever pitch among 243 UPSers who actually make a living here...or hope to. Fly by nighters that have no desire to stay here for any significant amount of time do not care and will not vote.
