[QUOTE="Froome, post: 3741040, member: 73345"] 1998 was voted down, pensions were going to be replaced with inferior plans. Insurance premiums were going to be paid by employees, job stagnation. This didn't happen. We kept and increased the pension. stronger work rules were put into place, and ups was required to hire 10,000 full time employees. Thus also creating more pt jobs too. wages were increased no sat or sun del. ups wanted to raise weight limit to 150 from 70, only got to 120 if I remember correctly. 2002-2006 was ratified by 86% under new leadership at teamsters. 2007-2012 was ratified 2013 was voted down but pushed through as a yes due to lack of votes, supplements in areas were voted down and had to have stronger language and protections written into them to help combat the nma the point being if you are just going to yes to what they offer why do we need a contract? Do I agree with everything in every contract ,no. Do I disagree with everything in every contract, no. You have the chance each time a contract comes up to have some input. Sometimes there is just one sticking point that makes you want to vote no, or a perk that makes you vote yes. I have heard both sides. One who will vote yes because they are offering to put fans in the trucks. one who will vote no because they are offering to put fans in the truck. For me it's the language, it is to easily twisted. Why different protections for rpcd and 22.4? Why different pay scales to do the same job? I have been here long enough to see what happens when the contract is not clear. Here is my chance to let them know that. Vote either way you want. you don't have to be disgruntled to disagree. [/QUOTE]
