[QUOTE="tunemixer, post: 259462, member: 7460"] We also had a meeting about the contract yesterday with our BA. Unlike the meeting that LIVINITUP had ours was much more under control and informative.Without going into lots of detail and ouple of things that were posted above were discussed in detail with us. The firing for the GPS thing mentioned. Yes they did say somebody could get fired. BUT they also said that would ONLY be if the driver LIED about it. A driver could get fired for lieing about anything they did wrong and got caught at. If the driver told the truth there would be a warning letter. The 9.5 issue. He also explained that if you do the LONGEST route in the building and are ALWAYS out more than 9.5 - 10 hrs you can't expect to fall into this catagory which makes lots of sense. He went over just about everything and come to the conclusion the contract wasn't all that bad. It was about 80% of what the 1997 contract was. He also said the TEAMSTERS did just what the members asked for when negotiating this contract. In a survay of what was most important to us 1st was Pension 2nd Heath and Welfare and 3rd was Money. I believe our BA is an honest and trustworthy person. I am a driver of almost 24 years . I have seen him work for the memebership .I do trust he is looking out for out best interests. He also went over the suppliment which he thought wasn't that good. I am a member of local 597 so no need to go into any of that. One more thing . We had a very poor showing. This is our future. And anybody that doesn't go to the meeting if they set one up is not helping them selves. They would have no right to bitch.I encourage EVERYBODY to take part in these meetings. You might not like what you hear BUT you will hear it from the horses mouth and NOT from anybody on this site . Although we have many smart posters we all read things differently and not everything applys to each one of us. I am keeping an open mind about this whole thing.I'm not going to panic and go off half cocked because nothing is in concrete yet.And if it happens that things don't turn out the way I like them. What am I suppose to do? I don't have to like everything that happens but I do have a living to make and a family to take care of. It could be a lot worse. [/QUOTE]
