Our BA can polish off a dozen doughnuts in almost the same time he inhales a dozen wings.
The Hoffa era is over, and the Teamsters are ready to fight

If I remember correctly.. In 1985 we were offered a bonus for a 2 year Extension. 1K for FT, 500 PT. It went thru of course, then the 87-90 Agreement had the Same Bonus, Yearly

If I remember correctly the first vote yes bonus was in 1982 with the two tier PT wage proposal. $500 PT bonus was worth $350 after taxes. Cheapest money UPS ever spent. 25 years later the starting wage went up $.50. 40 years later and the starting wage is less then some burger chains. Starting FT isn't much better.

One of those bonuses came out of Jim Casey’s last will and testament and was offered to every employee at UPS (union or not), 1,000 full time/500 part time.

I don't remember it that way but I will take your word for it. The company and the Union like to keep us in the dark on a lot of matters. Makes it easier to manipulate us.

It has been about 40 years ago...I might be mistaken or been listening to old feeder lore..
They make RECORD PROFITS EVERY SINGLE YEAR. They can pay the drivers more

Does this new administration have any notable contracts to negotiate before ours comes up?

You might not know Sean O'Brien. But he is poised to shake up the US economy in a way no one else has in recent memory.

Sounds like we're going to be in for a ride. This UPS contract is going to be far more encompassing than a UPS contract I think.This new union boss could start the biggest strike in decades | CNN Business

My only concern would be is how is our insurance affected if something drags out multiple weeks?
It will be covered
Also the strike fund pays from day one

Sounds like he will start negotiating around March 2023... I expect that he will start expanding the strike fund and shore up the Teamsters’ controlled health and welfare funds before then. A major improvement in the GWI is expected with the inflation rate running rampant.
Right now O’Brien is not asking for much..20 dollars an hour for new hires will be the standard for most of the American companies. The 22.4 positions are expendable or provide better language to get them up to the same pay and protections that the RPCD’s have. The progression time has to be reduced.. 4 years is ridiculous.
The Company I expect will go after subcontracting in any form..try to increase the PVD limits.
Their big issue I believe will be trying to eliminate of reduce their pension responsibilities similar to what happened to their management plans. It all depends on what is happening with our economy a year from now.
Your mentality is exactly why Eastern is out of business

Good.. this isn’t the press that ups wants when the contract isnt even up for a year and a half…I don’t think O’Brien is going to be messing around here…
