New Video! Is the buyout even worth it?

Hence the need for a buyout.
So the need for the buyout in your opinion, is because UPS made an agreement. Doesn’t keep it and the union tries to hold them to the agreement the company agreed to?

Interesting.

So in reality, just bad management?

I’m gonna try to use this logic when the company tries to hold me to parts of the contract that they think should never be broken by us.

It was brought to my attention that I didn’t write the contract. We follow it because it is similar to our bill of rights. Promote the business, follow the instructions and keep our integrity

Both sides agreed to it. But only one side thinks they need to abide by it only so long as it’s convenient for them.

And then there’s some bootlickers out there who have no problem covering for them.

One of our top seniority guys was telling other people he doesn't grieve 9.5s because he already makes good money, and the extra grievance pay hurts the companies ability to make a profit.

Stockholm syndrome is real, man. That dude works 11 hours a day consistently.

His choice, silly in my opinion, but if it wasn’t beneficial for the company, they wouldn’t have agreed to it. It’s clear now.

We've all seen them not try to follow the contract (new trucks, just paying quad time instead of fixing the problem, etc.). I feel not trusting them to make the payments correctly is a valid concern. Our 9.5 checks came late one time months ago. A grievance was filed for penalty pay and it's gone through the panel process from local on up. Still not resolved. That kind of stuff happens company wide, country wide all the time.

Contract says new tricks purchased have to have air conditioning. Have you seen any new trucks without A/C?

9.5 has a penalty if not adhered to. They are paying the penalty.

Penalty pay grievances on late grievance checks are not a slam dunk. UPS contends that penalty pay is for a payroll error. A late grievance check is not a payroll error.

It comes to interpretation of the contract.

For the buyout, you sign a contract to separate on August 31 and they agree to pay you $60K.

A lot different than pushing the boundaries of a CBA.

We always had a few like that. I never minded it as long as they didn't complain about the extra long nights or having to go help others make 9.5 that did file
