Any individual member of management deemed by the Committee to have committed two
(2) or more violations of this Section within a two (2) year period shall be required to appear in person before the Committee AND THE PANEL OR ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE SAID MEMBER OF MANAGEMENT BE REMOVED FROM THEIR CURRENT WORK AREA for any subsequent grievance(s). Failure of the management person to appear, absent a legitimate excuse, shall result in a negative inference. THIS SHALL NOT PRECLUDE THE COMPANY FROM DECIDING ON A MORE SEVERE PUNISHMENT.

Nice proposal, but I don’t see the company ever agreeing to that.

Management Myth #1:​

If members go on strike, Amazon and Fedex will deliver our packages – and take our customers.

No they won't.

Teamsters at UPS delivered 20.4 million pack-ages a day last year.

With all its growth, Amazon can still only deliver 18 million packages a day.

More than 2.2 million of Amazon packages are delivered by UPS every day.

If there’s a strike at UPS, Amazon will be buried trying to deliver the two million packages we deliver for them.

FedEx delivers even less than Amazon does: 15.8 million packages a day.

The idea that they will be able to deliver 20.4 million UPS packages too is absurd.

“In 1997, no one could handle the packages. When we got back after the strike, packages were piled everywhere. It was a complete disaster,” said Nick Orabona, a strike veteran and Local 251 Teamster.

“There is so much more volume today than there was back then because of e-commerce. If there is a strike, the company will be crippled. That means a strike will probably be short and we will win!”

Management Myth #2:​

If we go on strike, PVDs will be able to deliver the packages.

20.4 million packages a day? In personal cars?

If every PVD delivered 75 packages a day, the company would need to hire more than 250,000 PVDs.

That’s not happening.

Even more importantly, who would operate the highly integrated feeder network, air hubs, and who would fly and service the hundreds of planes UPS uses.

So if managers were able to pick up packages

in some town, how would they get them to Chicago, LA or Atlanta? Shippers will not trust sending their packages into that dead-end operation.

In the 1997 strike, managers sometimes drove empty package cars out of buildings, pretending to deliver but actually trying to scare strikers. It didn’t work, because Teamsters were united.

How is article 37 1(a) even possible? So the grievance doesn't go to panel first to be resolved? It goes straight to national 37 grievance committee?

Don't most supplemental agreements have language that the first level meeting is usually with in 5 or 10 days?

Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge
