Negotiations

[DriveInDriveOut]

tens of BILLIONS this company made over the previous contracts

Mostly on the backs of minimum wage no benefits UPS PT Teamsters.

You think "most" of the company's profits were generated by part time employees with less than 9 months of seniority?

Lol.

How can that be when they make up the majority of the workforce, governed by a democratic contract ratification process?

Why do they continue to allow those kind of contracts to pass?

Now you are just being silly.

UPS, Teamsters kick off high-stakes national contract negotiations

The delivery giant is optimistic about reaching an agreement, but some say the risk of a strike is higher than in previous years.

I don't know anyone who knows any real language. They're all under NDAs and I haven't heard anything more than "we've done good across the country."

This is always the worst point people always make here

Why?
The part-timers make up the majority of the workforce but yet they do not vote

They have all the power

They don’t vote because they are PT. There should be no such thing as PT in a union. Do you want a job or not? All inside workers should be fulltime. Why would PT workers be interested investing into a “future” if they don’t even vest 8 hours? Most PT are thinking about leaving UPS for something better, that’s the unions fault for allowing a PT workforce

Well I was happy to have my part-time job when I started here because my goal was not to be a part-timer my goal was to be a driver
Yes they could make some of these part-time jobs in the full time jobs but many shifts do not allow it just because the way the work is distributed

And if they voted and made their voices heard, there wouldn't be.

To be fair, put your preload income into an inflation calculator.

My father started at a much higher rate inflation adjusted than I did.

Hey I never said that the part-timers should not get paid more

He bragged about $8 while his other job was $3.75

This is what some people cooked up on facebook last year for what they would like to see. It's not an indication of what to expect in the next contract.

You think "most" of the company's profits were generated by part time employees with less than 9 months of seniority?

Lol.

At $15.50 per hour with no benefits, UPS gets the most bang for the buck with the part timers. That's pure profit, baby. RPCD are expensive.

It’s a wishlist.

My guess is we won’t get 5% of the proposals in there.

Most of that stuff the company wouldn’t even consider.
