2023 contract

[Thebrownblob]

I never understood this! What the hell does the local need to do for 3 months that one day a month Gen Membership meetings are canceled. To my knowledge my local has never taken any months "off" like that except for the beginning of covid. Then we went to zoom and now are still offering zoom and in person meetings.

I think we tried to have them and no one comes LOL., vacations

So not enough members show up during summer is why they cancel them?

Curious what day of the week and time do you hold them?

Membership meeting on Saturday. Still have executive board Meeting

Yeah, would probably be hard to get members to show up at all at my local on a Saturday.

Not sure what other day we can do it. No one would come Monday through Friday either. Usually have a pretty good turn out on Saturdays.

Ours are every third Thursday of the month at 7:30pm. We have I think 3 a year on Sundays (usually fathers day every year) at a different location further north so members up that way get a easier driver every so often. Those are 930am I believe. Can't remember the exact time.

Not sure who could make it at 7:3pm, we have a few Sunday meetings as well for people who work Saturday as they are needed

 

[Brown Buddy]

Some real COLA as well as keeping benefits strong and pensions matching for all.

 

[TeltBender]

How much should you make per hour?

$40 an hour

 

[TeltBender]

I believe the company will want a part time jump in starting rate just as much as the union. They cannot keep part-timers at the current pay rate

Company can’t keep people even paying 1.5x or more than what my union negotiated. Sad.

 

[TeltBender]

Nice. My main two concerns are pay increase and more inside work. I’m in the air though about a strike. Mainly because idk how many part timers will even care. I could already see a lot them being scabs.

You kidding? An excuse to get out of work? We don’t care if it’s unpaid!!!

They double shift every night on almost every shift at my building and they still can’t get enough people at time and a half

Been triple shifting daily for the past few weeks, new hires come for the first 3 days then don’t ever show up again. That’s at $20 an hour. They are so desperate for people they bring them all the way from Trenton on a school bus.

Keep making that money!

I just want a FT job already. There are people with under 1.5 year seniority going to feeders. If I can get an inside 22.3 job I’ll be happy. Once that happens I’m off to the airforce. Then I can come back to top rate.

 

[Heavy Package]

With Biden's inflation we need better COLA language, maintain health / welfare, modest pension increases, more teeth on 9.5 dispatch and a top rate of $50/hr. I'd vote yes to that.

I’d say everything you’re asking for is within reason

And what would you be willing to give up? Expanding 22.4? Year round PVDs? More subcontracting?

We’ll give up the car wash. Not like they ever seem to be used to wash cars these days.

We could do without pt air drivers and pt car wash guys . Create more ft jobs
