[QUOTE="Well-Known Member, post: 6166291, member: 85066"] We're going to strike because UPS wants to buy out some old-ass-should-be-retired employees? The strike would be because UPS has egregiously violated the contract, specifically Article 6. I'm not so sure this is a violation of Article 6. [I]Article 6 Except as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Employer agrees not to enter into, or attempt to enter into, any agreement or contract with its employees, either individually or collectively, or to require or attempt to require employees to sign any document, either individually or collectively, which in any way conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement. Any such Agreement or document shall be null and void. [/I] How would taking a lump sum payment to resign from the company violate a provision in this agreement. There is no contractual language involving resignation, or separation, or lump sum payments. I believe [USER=73381]@BadIdeaGuy[/USER] stated that there is a clause in the 710 contract about resignations, so there may be an issue there, but not in the NMUPSA. And I think O'Brien knows it. He asked us not to accept the offer and to file a grievance. [/QUOTE]
