This.... I've got the years but I'm only 52....do I get a buyout at 55?
No disagreement for me I’m in the same boat as you, but we had a similar issue with the MRA as a extra contract agreement and drivers getting hired off the street at $30 an hour while other drivers had to go through progression. In the end, the drivers kept the money, maybe the union will be more successful with this argument, but I don’t feel very confident about that. there was a similar issue with inside employees that was also lost.

I think if you receive a severance offer, I'd counter back and say "I'll accept the same severance offer that Brian Newman accepted last year:

Sean said to file grievances on it?

Sounded like it was for harassment though.

I was waiting for him to threaten lawsuits, but the response was much weaker than I expected.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
I think you're right.

It's hard for me to walk away from that video without getting the feeling UPS took him to the cleaners.
The company wants to lower operating costs, they want to increase dividends. What better way than to reduce employees? And also automate. This is very bad for the IBT, IMO

By the time the grievance procedure is done those people will have already been on the beach for two or three years lol
 
If SOB is truly worried about membership he should be hammering on Unionizing Amazon...like he campaigned on. This is a pittance compared to what that work force could provide for the IBT.

I’ve got a feeling that it’s a lot more money than he’s acting like he is worried that too many people are going to take it hurting the membership. I could be wrong, but that’s my feeling.
May very well be the case. Then again it may just be possible that this is outside of the contractual realm, and an extra agreement that is not of a mutual nature and without input from the IBT. That can be a slippery slope if not confronted now
