[QUOTE="browned out, post: 3961395, member: 8105"] I stated that the incompetence of 243's negotiating skills were substandard to a 2nd or 3rd grader's level. That statement is far too elementary. One has to delve further to come to the logical conclusion. 243 did not fail miserably on the Metro Detroit supplement because they were outsmarted. 243 purposely left out language and kept the members in the dark. The exact same tactic Hoffa/Taylor employed. One of the main reasons the Master was voted down was the ambiguity regarding RPCDs losing possibly 40% of their income if they are laid off M and T. The Teamsters and 243's not addressing of the issue of RPCDs losing 40% of their income is far beyond any range of reasonableness. How in the world was any UPSer going to be able to vote in their best interest not knowing if 40% of their income would be lost? How? 243 has a history of colluding with UPS. 243 has a history of retaliation against members who seek to supplant them as officers. The rank and file in 243 have attempted numerous times to correct this behavior by 243. Since local 243's EB have not corrected their behavior; one can conclude that 243's EB refuses to correct their behavior. Hence; they will be voted out. New leadership is on the horizon. (TDU)...eh... wrong... just Teamsters fed up with garbage, incompetent representatives. 243 DID NOT recommend a NO vote the 1st time on the supplement they and the company agreed upon. 243 did not address or communicate with the members regarding major changes in working conditions, pay, and terms of employment. It was 243's responsibility to clarify issues that were open to interpretation in the Master and/or Central. 243 also had the right and responsibility to improve upon language in the Master or Central. Other locals did clarify and improve language contained in the Master and/or Regional Supplement. Language was addressed guaranteeing RPCDs the right to the day off based on seniority on overstaffed days. Language that compensated employees for time obtaining airport badges, etc was also secured. Language affording RPCDs the right to 4 10 hour days (if laid off on M) was included. Language that allowed RPCDs the ability to bump a 22.4 on a Sat was also included. Language regarding start times for both RPCDs and 22.4s was also obtained. etc. 243 got nothing. You get nothing. 243's Leadership has been a retaliating, colluding piece of work for decades. The reason for 243's filing NLRB charges and NOW recommending a NO vote is simple. The answer is that the members were not as gullible as 243 thought they were. 243 was called out on their BS. 243 understood they may/could/will be facing charges regarding Failure to Fulfill the Duty of Fair Representation during contract negotiations. 243 is now attempting to cover their :censored:. Too late. Hoffa/Taylor will soon find out that they are in the same predicament. 40% or more of every RPCD and future RPCDs' income has been placed in jeopardy. This includes the vast majority of UPSers. Current FT Package Car Drivers and all future RPCDs will not have any contractual remedy to achieve 40 hours per week even though work exists. Even though 22.4s are guaranteed 40 hours per week. 243 failed to address this issue. The Teamsters at the national level failed to address this issue. Now; someone will pick up the ball and run with it. 40% of the income of the primary livelihood paying occupation at UPS has irrationally been put in jeopardy. This is a major change of pay, terms of employment and working conditions. 40% of RPCDs income. WOW Part-timers and 22.4s who aspire to become RPCDs will have to take this into account. 40% of RPCD income can be taken away per the CBA. If any BCers can point to where an RPCD has the contractual right to bump a 22.4 on a Saturday or Sunday; please do so; if not; sit the friend down. (Master CBA; not NORCAL) This is being addressed.
