[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 584009, member: 18044"] "Stuff" given to us by UPS [U]outside[/U] the Contract, then taken away, is not normally grievable. What "stuff" are you referring to? Whenever a Contract is negotiated, there is a clause that says UPS will maintain existing standards, and improve standards where specified in the new Contract. This is to prevent UPS from turning the negotiated and ratified Contract into a sham, by cutting a different benefit after the ink is dry, to retaliate for a benefit increase given in the give-and-take of negotiations. Here's the New England Supplement's language . . . Some things provided by UPS are required by Law, weather mentioned in the Contract or not. There is also the National Labor Relations Act that makes unilateral, mid-Contract cuts in certain things by UPS an Unfair Labor Practice. We've already lost paper towels in the bathroom when they installed less useful blowers. Now we have a grievance in over paper towels being removed from the lunch room. [/QUOTE]
