[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 3698547, member: 49065"] The negotiating committees knew that they were in trouble for the get go before they even started with this contract. If the statistic is true that over 70 percent of those UPS members that voted with the last election voted against Hoffa, that in itself explains why this one will not be easily ratified. They are make the best effort to try to get the (Master) passed, forget about the supplements and riders. I guess they are using the logic of that if the Master somehow makes it on the first round the rest will surely tumble. I am not a fan of TDU, but do we really have an alternative, in the last election Zuckermann beat Hoffa in the States, if it was not for the Canadian vote we would of had different General President. That in itself shows just how much support Hoffa has with the UPS members, most of us still remember the 2013 contract and his willingness to leave people behind for political reasons and his unwillingness to take on the Cash Cow (UPS). It is not money under the table, it is money over the table with the monetary contributions that UPS is providing the Teamster controlled benefits plans. The company is dictating the terms of each contract that he has overseen because of it. That so called "Strike Vote" was basically a straw vote to see were the international has to plan it's media attack to get this contract passed. Granted this contract is weak and concessionary and it should not be considering how well the company is profiting and the current status of our national economy. Again a lot of members are going to be left behind and most of it has to do with keeping the leadership's status quo in place. In every contract there is give and take were both parties feel some kind of victory. With this tentative contract the Company wins by a knock out in the first round and that what happens when you put a heavy weight in with a feather weight every time. [/QUOTE]
