Local 705 contract suggestions.

[vvv]

A strike would be unavoidable.

Letting one of your fearless leaders know that it's still July and not August would be a solid start.

Looks like you are in capable hands!!

If it happened impacted hours, but hazard pay for temperature is unrealistic and a pipe dream. I'd rather negotiate for something realistic.

Such as?

Who gets 10 hours of work anymore?

 

[I have been lurking]

Who gets 10 hours of work anymore?

We do

 

[DELACROIX]

4 8 hour requests per month?? There are only 20 working days in the average month---25% of those should be 8 hours only?
Lower progression? Companies rarely if ever go back on anything, especially something that is saving them a ton of money.
Increase disability pay? I believe weekly payment amounts are set by the individual states, not the companies.
Eliminate 22.4's? Again, companies rarely if ever go back on anything that is saving them a ton of money.
Hazard pay when the temp goes above 90 degrees or below 20 degrees? Yeah, not gonna happen.
Double time for all hours worked after 10? They need to add "outside of Peak" in order for me to agree.
Eliminate PVD's? Yeah, not gonna happen. I would like to see a clause added to where no "real" employee can be laid off in favor of using PVD's.
Insurance maintained through extended period away from work? Depends upon the situation.
Orientation for all new drivers attaining seniority? I agree with this one.

I can recall when the big battle during contracts was whether we could have beards or not.

This is going to be Sean's first UPS contract and I see him going big-----$1/hr per year for 5 years, plus COLA. Personally I would prefer that the wage be frozen and that UPS be asked to pay pension contributions on all hours worked.

All those proposals are contained in the “Master”, I know L705 and L710 claims they have their own contract but it has to conform to the National Contract.

Nothing about pension increases or improvements?

The Union is corrupt!

I am 4 years retired but when I was working our local required that you work 36 days in a quarter to get benefits for the following quarter.

Why do you care about the contract?

 

[MECH-lift]

no such thing as a contract anymore

We are all just Amazon drivers now

It might be easier to ask who doesn’t.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

It might be easier to ask who doesn’t.

Wouldn't that be the same question phrased differently?

 

[Thebrownblob]

Wouldn't that be the same question phrased differently?

Perhaps but you have to have context

Someone has to make up for me not working any hours.

Wasn’t a huge deal I’m only working four days this week and next and then I’m on vacation the following week after that
