Also Article 18 lost too. I guess whoever negotiated this settlement just erased Art 18 of our supplement.When I look at the whole thing, it looks like a real slap in the face to local 804 and their e-board. Yes, 250 hourly got their jobs back which is fantastic, but the price was high. 2 week unpaid suspension, living in the high rent area of New York, UPS wins. The local has to reimburse all moneys lost due to the work stoppage, UPS wins. UPS calms the fears of the city and stops any action by political entities to penalize the company, UPS wins. The beloved BA is banned from UPS property, UPS wins. The conditions that started the whole process are still in place in every building, no commitment that the company has to change its ways, UPS wins. Ups has put the fear of termination into every job action nationwide, UPS wins. UPS is in better shape in every way than before the job action. That's 6 wins to one for the Teamsters, and the blame is going to be placed directly on the L804 board and their agents.
Or maybe the real lesson in this is next time, if a building does pull an action like this, they get the support of their ENTIRE local and shut down the ENTIRE operation of the local.
