This contract is trash. Management will be sending drivers home with no work every Monday. I would rather go on strike for a few days than work 4 day weeks for the next 5 years.

What better time for a strike than right before peak!

Sending you home? If I drive to work, im working. If I’m laid off they better call me no less than 45 minutes before my start time, after they know who calls in sick. The same people who are laid off on Monday are the same people who will possibly be laid off on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday after a strike.
just chillin'
Rest in peace wooba
after a 30 day waiting period unless they lock you out or replace you. just like the contract, the devil is in the details
Preloaders live with their parents so they'll be ok.
Drivers I have no idea. A lot of people living paycheck to paycheck. I can go a solid month with no paycheck.
Now ask yourself. How long can the company go without drivers? Probably not very long. Not to mention the business they'll lose during the strike.

What does your supplement say ?
Do you even know ?
I'm (paraphrasing ?) your post for a reason.
In the Central Region.. since 1973..
A 10% employee could be denied work on any day of the week.
The 90% employees, are guaranteed a 40 hour work week, if worked on the first day.
Contractually.... the company must post your start time the preceding Friday.
And then, we have a 6 hour "show up" guarantee.
All this BS internet "speculation" makes me laugh.

So what you are saying is you only want your side of the story out there?
I’m sorry, but if you actually believe you won’t get your 40 hours, i have a bridge to sell you.
There is no way on earth we wouldn’t get 40 hours, our average planned day is close to 10, maybe even a bit over.
No, he’s saying your side is nothing but BS propaganda trying to influence people perfectly capable of making their own decisions. That’s how bad this contract is, the fact people like you, which the union is clearly influencing are needed to try and sway people into a yes vote.
Go away.
There is a lot of misinformation out there to sway the vote toward a no vote. This information is politically motivated. So I think I will do what I feel is needed.

Is there a flat rate for everyone who receives a strike check or do those with more time get more pay? I’m not worried about it I have enough savings to go several months without making an income, but more than half of Americans can’t even scrape up 500$ for an unexpected bill. Low pay is a great way to beat down the worker and bust unions and strikes.
And being politically motivated is worse than a guy getting paid to scream vote yes?
It's no different. Except what you don't realize, is you're the sheep.
Wrong. U cant file a grievance. Guaranteed 40 hours if work is available. If work is not available on Monday you are not guaranteed anything. A lot of RPCD's will be laid off Monday because of 22.4 delivering on Sat and Sun.
Also a lot of misinformation about us going on strike if we vote no. If we vote no that will send them back to the negotiating table.
No you’re wrong, top 90% are guaranteed 8/40. Local 710

You better pray we don’t rebel cuz a lot of lower seniority drivers will no longer be needed. And that’s 100% fact.

How long have you worked at UPS? Tell me how has loopholes in the last contract worked in favor for the union? Get back to me when you have time to think it through hot shot.
