What is this work-rule compromise that they want? I keep hearing this and have no idea what they are talking about.
Why is a Strike Quite Possible?

No chance, I would love it if it happened, but I don’t see it. Someone throwing

We should probably have a sticky on what is known and not known on both sides. Going throughthe posts on this site by management and IE it seems the company mainly wants flexibility in the hours and days employees work. They also, shockingly don't want to raise pay rate's exorbitantly. Think $1.50 raise per year for drivers. PT's are probably in a different boat since their pay rate is below market rate.
According to Dragon(scratch Dragon he's a center manager. I can't remember the IE posters name), they also want to get rid of the 22.4's. Because it's easier to manage one class of driver.
Still think the Juneteenth and MLK paid days off are going to happen. Because of politics. Think we give something up to get them, when I feel like the company was already planning to do it for PR

I just don’t see the members voting yes on non-consecutive days off or the Union even bringing it to a vote.

I don't either, but that's what they want

Of course flexibility doesn't just mean non consecutive days, They could want 4 10's, or Tuesday-Satuday shifts with Sunday-Thursday shifts. Or staggered start times
Politicians say a lot of things.
That's what he said from day one
But he's also a politician. They say what the voters want to hear...and in most cases, do the opposite.
We will revisit these posts come August when you're still working without an agreement. Pointless to argue now.
Hopefully there's agreement before then before then

Non consecutive days off is ludicrous. That can never happen. If the company truly is asking for that, they just want to make employees lives as miserable as possible. There’s no other reasoning to want us to have non consecutive days off. The union cannot allow that.

I have enough seniority in feeders to never have to work a schedule that isn’t Monday-Friday thankfully. By my choice that is the only schedule I work. Feeders is a seven day operation. There are T-S, Monday-Friday, S-T. Non consecutive days off, uhhhhh no. They expect me to go backwards and have things get worse for me as I’m here longer. Go friend yourself.
He also appeared weak on the whole rail strike thing. Just saying. If I were still a UPSer I'd be concerned about the union leadership right now.
He could not be any weaker than Hoffa
