Teamster Buyout?

What kind of control?
Offhand, complete control over your separation date.

They are able to notify you "at a later date" if you were accepted for the next year dates, and based on my understanding, if you have already applied, they are able to commit you to those future dates at will.

So you apply, there's no way to back out, and if they decide you work peak, you have to work peak. And you're still on the hook to leave.

They're also able to change your final date at their discretion up to 30 days prior.

You have to agree to arbitration being your only form of recourse if there's problems.

Once you hit "apply", they get to choose to accept or not accept, but your say in the matter is gone.

Funny if they make you work through peak and then find a reason to fire you and won’t give you your buyout money!

Can you still get the payout if you retire? It sounds like this is a completely different deal and they are trying to get a bunch of people to quit.

And what control does UPS have over you retiring if you don't want to work another peak?

If you retire before the date they specify, you get nothing.

Only exceptions are death and disability.

Doesn’t sound like the care if you’re retiring

And also sounds like they have complete control over when you retire and even if you can buy seniority

Should sign their stupid agreement, get accepted, then report an on the clock injury that'll keep you off work till March.

Watch how fast they move that date up.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
You can't draw pension until age 65 if you accept buyout
