[BigUnionGuy]

Brought up at the monthly Union meeting.

Were you there ?

I go to almost all of the Union meetings since they were changed from Thursday nights to Sunday afternoon.

@21Savage

Heard that too.

You're in the Atlantic? What local? I'm in the Atlantic too (I think) and management has already told us we cannot be forced in on a 6th punch.

At PCM this morning they brought out a sheet. Had everyone select yes or no if they wanted to be contacted for Saturday work, didn’t see a yes on there but I was the 5th one to get it. Seems here they are working on the understanding that we cannot be forced in.

I'm not far from you at all, probably the next local over. No forced Saturdays for us.

Anyone around here from 509 or 71? Supposedly problem extends to just these three locals in the Atlantic.

That’s odd implementation of one of the few major winds in the national master agreement is different depending on the local.

Like I said, I haven’t personally heard of this happening anywhere close to me, but if it is, it shouldn’t be imo

Guess we are the only locals that did not come to agreement with the company and referred the issue to the co-chairs of the national negotiating committee. Curious that all are in the same region/supp

Nope it shouldn't be happening.

People here feel betrayed. We worked hard to build a credible strike threat so we could win on this issue. Some are talking about taking withdrawal cards until it's all settled. I don't really know what to say to them. Art 11.1(a)(v) doesn't give any timeframe that the co-chairs have to come to a resolution within, and since the IBT still hasn't said anything it feels like this could drag on forever. A member asked SOB face to face what was going on, and Sean said he was aware of it and it would be handled by last Friday. Obviously that didn't happen. If the IBT comments now, why would we believe them?

Coldest day I ever experienced as a driver was last peak season. It was dangerous and we should have been home.

Harden up snowflake. I spent that whole day in a truck with no heat, my canteens started to freeze in the back. The first truck they tried to give me had no defrost, I refused to drive it. They gave me a new one but the knob was stuck, I couldn’t change from defrost to heat. I delivered every package on my truck save one, for a business that was closed when I got there (after 17:00). I EC’d it.

I wish every day could be like that, I only had to speak to one customer. It was a guy who saw me walking up his half-mile driveway on camera and drove down to meet me. He offered me a ride back to my truck. I accepted it just to be polite. If you’re getting paid $50 / hour to play in the snow like a little kid and you choose to complain about it, you need to re-evaluate your life.

Not a good situation at all

Probably not but personally, I would handle it the same way it was handled the last five years during the previous contract and just not go in if I didn’t want to. Really have a hard time believing a panel would terminate you especially with language now that says you shouldn’t be there anyway.

Had a guy here get up to a 3day suspension for calling out on his sixth maybe a year ago. Might be what I end up doing but I would feel more comfortable with that plan if my BA was on board.

I don’t really know that situation from before, but the new language would be difficult for a panel to give someone that kind of discipline imo

December 23rd, 2022.the temperature was -5 windchill -36. I was wearing 2 pairs of cold gear, insulated boots and wool socks. It was so cold that I had to remove my boots and throw hand warmers in because I couldn't feel my toes.
When I went outside that morning I had ice form on my mustache from the moisture in my breath. We showed up worked all day and did our job. We didn't cry, whine or quit, so I think we earned the right to say it sucked. If you have defrost, you have some heat. I've spent many hours in a car where the blower motor went out at some point during the day. I didn't make them come switch my car, snowflake.
