You're probably right. They'll see it as a battle of attrition, and if the union's leadership is in bed with management, then they'll simply not make any changes of note to the contract until peak season, when they'll get the drivers to break by working them 70 hours a week week in and week out. They'll eventually gladly vote yes just to be relieved of the overtime, and then once the contract is passed the opposite will happen with that crappy addition of "as long as work is available" to the 8-hour guarantee, at which point most will be probably be struggling to work at least 3 days out of the week.
Isn’t the rule 70 in 8?
There is a 34 hour reset for the 60/7 and 70/8 language. The weekend day + 10 hours counts as a reset and you can do 70 hours again next week.
What were your proposals for your local that you submitted?
15hr starting in august, with catch up raises for currents. Basically
Maybe we can get that when we vote it down. I'll swap that out for a 43,000 a month 35 year pension. Its not like I'm collecting that one! What do you want to swap out for the part timers pension increase?
All that is fine. Doesn't change that pters are long time underpaid now. My Walmart is hiring for more than UPS here. Raises need to be given to all currents.
Last time I checked everyone would be getting a raise. What kind of health and welfare is your local Walmart offering? and don't tell me you step foot in that joint.
The proposed raise is less then UPS is currently paying new PT Union members. Of course there is no benefits for a year. And $600 Union initiation fees and monthly Union dues. How much is Walmarts initiation fees and monthly dues?
Its not a raise for currents with how minimum wages are rising. We don't account for inflation. Yes the benefits are good but for those w/o a family it wouldn't be expensive either way.
