[QUOTE="browned_out, post: 249913, member: 6293"] I read this the other day, might explain the quick negotiations and give backs by hoffa. Can you say "Union Dues". [SIZE=2][B][FONT=Arial]Card-Check at UPS Freight Contingent on Pension Deal[/FONT][/B][FONT=Arial][B][/B][/FONT] [/SIZE][FONT=Arial] Experts speculated that President Hoffa went along with UPS’s pension grab as part of a deal to get UPS management to cooperate with Teamster plans to organize UPS Freight workers.[/FONT] [FONT=Arial] Robert Bruno, a professor at the [/FONT][FONT=Arial]University[/FONT][FONT=Arial] of [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Illinois[/FONT][FONT=Arial] Institute for Labor and Industrial Relations, told the press that, “The contract language permitting UPS to leave the Central States Fund represents a sea change in the bargaining history of the Teamsters.

[/FONT] [FONT=Arial] The “card check” agreement will allow Teamster locals to win bargaining rights at a UPS Freight terminal without an NLRB election—just by signing up a majority of employees on union cards and having these signatures verified by an independent arbitrator.
