[QUOTE="browned out, post: 4152959, member: 8105"] The members in our local were the last bastion to hold up this horrendous, concessionary and collusionary CBA. [URL='http://www.fightbacknews.org/2019/3/15/hoffa-taylor-seek-impose-rejected-ups-supplements']Hoffa, Taylor seek to impose rejected UPS supplements[/URL] Our Local Union "leaders" aka Red Vest Slapdicks had nothing to do with 243's 1st rejection. They did jump on board and recommend a No vote the second time around after outrage from the members who will actually have the power to vote the current 243 "leadership" in or out. [URL='https://www.freightwaves.com/news/parcel/teamsters-locals-reject-ups-contract-supplements']Teamster locals' 'no' votes throw wrench into UPS' contract implementation - FreightWaves[/URL] The Hoffa loyalist 243 leaders are not shielded by a 50% turnout threshold or 2/3 majority vote in order to be voted out; they figured they had better put on a front late in the CBA process. Otherwise; come next local election, 243 leaders would have sealed their fate and would have had to find new jobs and actually work for a living. Regardless; 243 leaders will most likely be voted out due to their failure to represent the members during contract negotiations. The Delegates at the last Teamster National Convention (Majority Red Vested) refused to change the 2/3 rule to a simple majority.

The Red Vested Hoffa UPS colluders knew this CBA would be voted down...therefore a change in the 2/3 rule had to be kiboshed. Maybe some Non Red Vested pieces of garbage did not push for the simple majority. One way or the other; (NOT ALL but the majority) of our elected representatives whose salaries are paid by our dues did nothing to change the 2/3 rule. I expect this nonsense from BUG, but from Integrity? not so much. You've changed brother.

It is unacceptable the largest CBA in North America is not rejected/approved by a simple majority vote of the members who care enough to vote. [/QUOTE]
