[QUOTE="stray, post: 3964116, member: 57407"] I'm with you on the first supplement - I felt it was a decent offer. And, yes, the pent up anger from 2013 was a factor. I don't believe any of the Locals "agreed" to force this second vote on what has been re-negotiated. Rather they were contacted on 1/16/19 by P. Darrow from the International and told they HAD to gather the TAs that had been agreed upon and send them to him for a vote. As I mentioned earlier, many individuals expressed their disagreement directly to Hoffa over this, including the lead negotiator and several Principal Officers but were not given an explanation or any response by him. I would like to see a bump in the PT pension for my fellow workers inside as well but disagree with you on "hardly anyone works part time that long" as I have many friends with over 25 years and many more nearing that mark in my hub. I also want to see them get treated fairly when forced to work Saturdays, Sundays & holidays. When you ask if the union has the right to say no, I take that to mean the membership because I believe WE are the union more than just our Executive Board - and we certainly have that right, with our vote. I also must disagree with you on the statement that UPS doesn't care how long this takes - they absolutely want to get this implemented ASAP so they can begin utilizing the 22.4 language and saving thousands by having a lower paid delivery drivers doing the work our RPCDs have been doing. It falls on our shoulders to stand for what's right and to do that we need massive participation in this vote. Don't get discouraged, stay the course and we all will be better off. [/QUOTE]
