[QUOTE="JadedBull, post: 1296560, member: 52427"] I just don't see a requirement in the supplemental contract that there has to be a vote or that the local officers have to give 72 hours notice in writing. I see in the National, article 8, in part: [B]Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section,strikes, work stoppages,slowdowns,walkouts or lockouts over disputes, [U]which do not arise under provisions of this National Master Agreement[/U],[I]shall be permitted or prohibited as provided in the applicable Supplement,Rider and/or Addendum.[/I] The Local Union shall give the Employer a seventy-two (72) hour prior written notice of the Local Union’s authorization of strike action,which notice shall specify the majority National Grievance Committee decision or deadlocked National Grievance Committee decision providing the basis for such authorization. [/B] Several of us have talked about UPS violating the grievance procedure which is covered under the supplement. Since the situation [U]does no[/U]t arise under provisions of the National, you follow what the supplement says. There isn't any vote or written notice in the supplement. At least I haven't found it. If you can, please point it out. Like I've said before, I am not a lawyer and not trying to be a locker room lawyer. I am just trying to interpret the contract and the Melville arbitration. It looks like the Local has a good case. Just my opinion. Anyone that can point to language that says otherwise, please do. [/QUOTE]
