2023 contract

[Coldworld]

It's surprises me you guys don't have posted start times for the week. It's not a huge ask. We have it here. Along with OT for hours worked before start time.

Do you get OT after 5 hours? That maybe why they don't do the OT for being called in early.

It shocks me again that 710/705 doesn't have a penalty for not honoring a 8 hour request. What's to stop the company from just never giving you one?

They have two days to notify mgt of a light load… we have 7, which is ridiculous…that needs to change in the next contract.

Part time wage increase and more inside jobs.

What do you mean light load?

7.99?

I'm here strictly for the healthcare and the pension. Since I'm self-employed outside of UPS, the money doesn't matter. For the younger workers on preload, I would like to see them given a choice of 1) $10/hour higher starting pay and waive healthcare benefits or 2) lower starting pay and obtain healthcare in 9 months (or whatever is negotiated in the next contract). So many in our building are still on Mom and Dad's healthcare until they're 26, so the insurance means NOTHING to them. They want the $$.

I would like to see the guaranteed 3 1/2 hours as automatic...no need to "ask" or "demand" it. If they are calling me us in to work, they should plan to pay us for 3 1/2 hours whether we demand our 3 1/2 hours or not. On Saturdays, we might only be there for 3 hours + a few minutes. I think it should be understood they will be paying everyone working that day for a minimum of 3 1/2 hours.

For the drivers, I agree the PVD's need to go and a more consistent schedule (M - Friday driver should work M - Friday and be given the option to work on Saturday, if the DRIVER wants to).

An option to waive health insurance would be a massive giveback. Higher pay and insurance after 30 days. Anything less we riot.

2bucks a year minimum. Inflation is here to stay. Better cola formula

We need a contract like we got in 1997

 

[Returntosender]

MIP for union employees?? Say it ain’t so…that would be the final nail in the coffin for management folks. Still remember some mgt grumbling when they opened the discounted stock to hourly… many did not like that.

I did know that

 

[Fido]

The first hour overtime is paid a time and a half, the second hour of overtime is paid a double time and anything over that is paid a triple time.
That might bring a dispatch down a little bit

they would have to come get me every night

 

[Staydryitsraining]

9.5 is a company statistic. How this become the benchmark for OT being excessive? Let’s shoot for 8.5? Unreasonable? I’ll concede and give 8.75?

I think this should be one of the top requirements. 9.5 is a joke. We need 8.5

 

[burrheadd]

I would like to see extended pension payout for those who work beyond the 30 year benchmark.

Also automatic double time after 9.5. End this grievance necessary to collect bullsheetrock.

If you’ve prepared for retirement 30 years is
enough

All I want is 7-1/2 hour days. Maybe give the animals that work inside more money.

All kinds of thing happen in life, plus some may not want to retire yet. The pension fund would benefit with deferred payouts even with the increased benefit. The social security plan knows this which is why they pay 8 percent more yearly for deferring.

 

[burrheadd]

plus some may not want to retire yet.

Highly unlikely

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Highly unlikely

There's a big difference in pension plans across the country. Certain areas not even have retiree healthcare, that's a lot of money if you have to pay it out of your own pocket

Financial is just one of many aspects of retirement planning. For some maybe the least important.

Highly unlikely

Some flee to work to escape. Lol

You mean your OLady let’s you know when you can retire

I stand by my statement you spend 30 years on a package car you’re done
I’am not talking about some
pusillanimous pt car washer that runs a few misloads
