No I don't agree but that is what will most likely happenThis I can't argue with.
But I'm not the IBT and don't support that move. It seems @MuricaMan01 does though.

The majority of the work force (part-timers) know there is no future for them at this
hole company.We are over worked and underpaid and most of us are looking for an exit strategy as fast as possible.
A 70 cent raise is all that matters to me.
If you wanted part-timers who aren't so easily bought then you shouldn't have so easily sold them out.

You do realize PT makes up the majority of us. Which means if they want to be heard they have the loudest voice.
Keep pretending it's FT against PT. 90% of us were PT before just like you. I get it though, it's always easier to blame someone else.
Also no future??? What does that even mean? You can become a FT employee just as easy as it was for me. If you don't want to be FT then that's fine but don't blame FT employees for that.

You asked a legitimate question, and no, people should not have berated you for that.
Do you realize who was standing side by side with you, who had your back, helping you get that $8 raise?
All of us, including those "cry babies" as you labeled them in 804.
There are more than hundreds, but moot point.
They stood with you, now it's your turn to stand with them.
No, it's people like you.
We stood with you to get what you wanted, now to hell with everyone else.
Just vote in your sub-par contract so I can get my damn money.
Special Supplements?
What do you think you are?
There are more members in the smallest Supplement than their are mechanics in this Company.
And there are dozens of Supplements
You are the minority, but we still got your back, do the same for us.
Yes we do, because we stand together, we have each other's backs. A concept you have no clue on.
I deal with people like you all the time. A small annoyance, nothing more.
Yes we do.
But now it seems that you are going to get the perks of a Union job, without knowing how we got those perks, or without standing beside your brothers in 804 who stood beside you.
I'm sorry, but you don't deserve this job.

Ok thanks for your response. Drivers throw us under the bus all the time so I have a hard time with the ones that talk big online when I just wanted a question ansered and the majority of drivers don't even care about mechanics anyway. You don't make payments on those tractors but I have to pay for my tools to even have a job. I'm new to the union yes. I joined to keep management off my back and keep my job in case something happens.

Thank you.
I kind of thought that you did have a clue, but you didn't show it in your posts.
I know some drivers treat you like scum, but we all don't.
I have always got along good with all my mechanics and knew they also had a job to do.
Parts on order OK to drive does not mean that you don't care. Hell, most times your boss pushes you to keep the vehicles on road but won't stock parts.
I know you can't red tag a vehicle for comfort issues and sometimes we have to suck it up.

If it’s brown, it’s going down
Was PT for over 5 years and paid my dues to go FT driver, PTers should be voting more now then ever to insure that they dont get sold down river. So what's your excuse for telling 804 to pass a sub par crappy contract? So you can get a 70 cent raise which equates 14 dollars a week with 20hrs? Man if your that hard up I would just give you 20 bucks so you can stop complaining about your retro check and telling others to eat aThe majority of the work force (part-timers) know there is no future for them at this

804 logically has to be looking to address protections for RPCDs.
Obviously; 804 should be using the NORCAL supplement to address these easily identifiable protections.
The intent of the 22.4 position was to reduce UNWANTED OT. Not all OT. Just unwanted OT. AND most definitely NOT to eliminate Full Time hours for all RPCDs. Eliminating Full Time RPCD hours to satisfy a BS Teamster/UPS talking point that of No RPCDs want to work Sat or Sun is insane. We have plenty of drivers who volunteered for Saturdays. In order to get 40 hours; most low seniority drivers jumped at the opportunity to work Saturdays. It is a line of crap that the Teamster/UPS collusion team has shoved down our throats and up are cake holes.
Unethical anti-worker self preserving jokers is what the vast majority of the Hoffasters are.
Come on 804. Build in the NORCAL protections. Then RPCDs who want to work Sat and Sun can. Then these RPCDs will get more than 24 hours per week if they desire. If the RPCD's do not want to work Sat or Sun; Then they have that right. But; don't take their right away from RPCDs to work Sat and Sun in order to get their 40 hours.
Word on the street is that UPS is already in the process (or has already) offered substantial shipping discounts to large shippers like Target, Macys, HSN, QVC, Walmart and others.
That discount is contingent on those Major accounts agreeing to having their shipments delivered on Sat and Sun.

Sounds like you've been at it for awhile and probably already had a full compliment of tools, but I get your point.
Although, that is the nature of the industry. Not many places supply tools for their mechanics. It's always BYOT.
And you should get a tool allowance, which I know comes nowhere near your investment, but it helps you keep up to date, so to speak.
This isn't directed at you, but I always have to laugh when I walk into a shop and see a $30,000 Matco toolbox with the mechanic bitching about how he has to buy his own tools.

What do you think the percentage of part time employees that are hired at UPS is, that actually manage to matriculate to a full time, top scale position?

Not at UPS, or he wouldn't be getting an $8/hr raise???
I guessing he's in progression.

So wait, the only reason you joined the union as a dues paying member is so management will back off and for job security?! Wow you are a real piece of work bud. You only care about yourself and it shows quite a bit. YOU are what's wrong with our union.

The majority of the things I said was only targeted at that 542 fellow anyway. And yes if you were a mechanic you would understand joining the union for such purposes. Yes I have been a mechanic for over 10 years and have a good bit of tools. I try to buy from harbor freight now though lol. And yeah I'm in progression. Most diesel shops starting pay in my area is over $30 an hour and I'm making less than that. That's why all the mechanics are excited about this contract, well the ones in progression anyway. But I fully understand the aggravation of having it pushed through with a mostly no vote due to not enough voters. It is not right at all. But that looks like the case this time around so we need to vote out the current union heads and get it right the next go round.

He is in progression, but he also mentioned working his tail off elsewhere.
I assumed he is a mechanic by trade and had to buy his own tools at his other job(s), as most mechanics do, so he already had everything he needed.
