[QUOTE="Buckethead, post: 213380, member: 5281"] What if the Pension is frozen, and we start over in the Teamster pension? If they took your pension, it would not make any difference either way. Overnite is only a small percentage compared to the companies represented by the teamsters. I would say it would be under 10%. As far as "we havent asked them", it's totally different in my neck of the woods. As soon as UPS took over they took all of our delay and cut our runs, and what runs we had left the mileage was cut. There is plenty of support over here. Now they are running more contractors, and Extraboard/wild drivers are sitting at home. Management is not going by the rules, and playing favorite's is the norm. Trucks that are assigned are being used by other terminals as loaners and are not being seen for months at a time. Did I mention that the health care went up, about $150 more a month in my case, (more than I was paying before UPS showed up here) We will not gain anything? Some of us are looking a little further than just pay, eg... Work rules, seniority, benefits. Have you looked at the Master Freight agreement? You should see what they get paid for, just about everything. All you have to do is put your delay or work time on your log and you don't have to get signatures or sweet talk dispatchers just to get what is owed to you. Maybe you are local, you might not understand this or might not be able to relate. Also, if a certain unionized freight company gets acquired by UPS like is being predicted, you won't want to be unrepresented. Does the word endtail mean anything to you? Again, here it is totally different, I have never heard a Parcel employee that I've talked to face to face, say not to join the IBT. They have shown their support or didn't have an opinion. I wouldn't call being one of the, if not the best paid workers in the transportation industry, being stolen blind from. If you are confused, educate yourself on the issue, no disrespect intended.
