Teamster Buyout?

[Well-Known Member]

Nobody's business but your own when you choose to retire.

And signing a form choosing to retire, or resign, is not an Article 6 violation.

even tho it's not offered to mechanics

You beat me to it. I was just going to ask if it was offered to mechanics.

I'm hearing drivers only even part-time after 40 years don't get the offer- This is what I hear

you very well could be correct!! we will find out in the end I just see a mess in the future, for the ones that just left miss out like me even tho it's not offered to mechanics, Drivers that wait and get even a bigger amount than the ones that accepted the first offer prior will miss out. Also only doing it on local needs I hear where drivers with 40 years gets turned down and the other building in nearby different local guy has example 30 years gets the buy out. What if driver bid a inside job last year after 35 years of service? I see a huge mess nothing negotiated and lots of legal issues for UPS

I don't think anyone will get turned down. They may just have to wait until the second separation date starting in February.

Well, I never said I thought it was a good idea. I just don’t know that it can be stopped.

the paper reads based on local needs and if maximum number is exceeded they will do it in seniority order additional applications maybe considered on a later date

we have two centers in my local and another center its own local- them 2 centers borrow our drivers continuously due to they are so short staffed. This we will see, I bet they don't offer drivers to leave when they cant keep enough drivers

Yes. For those not approved because of seniority, they most likely will be approved for a February 1 to March 31 second separation date.

If you want a buyout then bid a ft job like an adult.

UPS is short staffed most places. They don't want to hire anyone yet because of the Amazon reduction. But, when Amazon volume tanks, the short staffing will not be an issue.

And to add, UPS will gladly replace a $45/hr driver with a $23/hr driver. It will also count toward their 22500 jobs they promised.

so areas where they can not find drivers to deliver they are going to keep buying them out???? Some area people do not want the job. We had this for maybe 5 years in feeders. We used another locals driver to cover. A guy signed the bid now wants out ASAP No one wants to work in some areas. This will be at their discretion so full time isn't bumping back to part time, Maybe be a new monthly thing center to center. Whoknows crazy times.

What??? Why they holding me till Oct 31st??

They told me my last day would be Aug. 31st. I guess everyone gets different dates based on their location.

My insurance was messed up for months after I retired because some bozo in HR entered resigned instead of retired in my file.

The union handles the retiree heathcare, correct?

way to early to tell, we are just guessing- be interesting how it plays out. I have a feeling this whole thing will get delayed into next year anyway.

The letter says its possible but not guaranteed.
