I believe 26 weeks is the max in NY.

26 weeks and it’s supposed to go up a lot . That’s double the pay out being fired lol. But anyone with 5 years or more is prob fine , and it takes 5.5 years to get ups 10k minimum on the buyout

$10K less 22% mandatory Federal tax withholding leaves $7,800 which could pay a PTer’s bills for a few months while they look for a new job. If they have less than 5 years service their pension contributions are left in the Fund. Might be worth looking in to.
If they have less than 5 years they don’t qualify , buyout is a 10k minimum that’s 5.5 years of service

Yawn.

Which part of VOL-UN-TA-RY confuses you?

This buyout is designed to entice those who should have left a long time ago to put in their papers. It will also give those who had already planned on leaving this year a few $$$ in their pockets on their way out the door. I wish this had been available in summer 2018.

I will admit that their offer needs to be revised upward.

Thus buyout is perfectly legal and doesn’t violate ANY of the articles in the NMA.

Do they teach arrogance at Union school?

Every Union official that I dealt with over my 29.3 years had more arrogance than any officer or upper NCO in my 8 years of active duty. Whether it was Fat Fred or the Hamburglar in Potsdam or, more recently, the officers in Local 294, they all came off as arrogant. I offered to help in their organizing efforts at our local Amazon warehouse and they basically told me to mind my own business.

You mentioned contracts—-I don’t recall ever signing any document stating that I promised to stay until I was eligible for retirement.

This buyout is NOT an extra-contractual agreement.
