710, 705?

[AnonyMusser]

I'm sure the 11,000 or whatever non-voters will be sure to buddyh and complain about this contract. That's a certainty.

After a couple years of "just til next summer, just til I finish the rest of the credits on my degree" when they develop the perspective to realize they had a chance to change it maybe. The final tally was 2-1 in favor. All the bluster around work everyone just caved at the last second and said they wanted their retro check.

The change has begun at 705
Strap in we are in for a bumpy ride

By your comment, I assume you voted "yes"?

Your assumption would be incorrect.

I hope Juan and Ken enjoy the last of their term

Local 705 passes their toilet paper unworthy contract with a 2634 yes/1300 no vote. 3934 votes out of the entire local. Disgustingly pathetic.
That's 2000 less people than work just in my building. We'll get everything we deserve on this one.

I fully expected to be pretty much unaffected by this contract (not even pay issues). Boy was I wrong. Anyway, I've heard the explanations for the changes, and will just have to see how it works out.

What changes were you wrong about?

 

[hondo]

What changes were you wrong about?

Primarily the creation of a new job class and changes in bidding.

I knew that, thought people could imply the comedy in my post.

Did you mean, bed post?

All comedy, all the time.

Or perceive it?

One of the things a CACH driver told me the local tossed in at the last moment was the creation of a lower waged, no CDL required, shifting position at CACH that would work alongside the normal rate shifters.

Perceived is correct.

Hope they also put in that none in existence now could be turned into one of those. How much lower of a rate?

I believe the dollar amount was $2 less

That's correct.

And as far as language the local worded the proposal "not intended to replace" rather than "shall not replace". Like ups won't take advantage of that.
Worst of all is that this proposal was introduced by the local and not the company.

A lot of these so called leaders know it's their last stand. Those brief cases full of hundies have become parting gifts.

The only good that could come from that is for someone who could not obtain a CDL or DOT card could still get a "feeder position". I don't trust the company on that "intended" wording at all.

If you can't obtain a CDL or pass the DOT you shouldn't have a feeder position.

I've flown a kite when I was a kid but that doesn't mean I'll talk the union into a job piloting our planes.

Full time shifter jobs around here are 22.2 and don't require a CDL.

I'm sure they will still have a feeder school training. I don't mind(from my limited knowledge of what it says) that part of the language, it is the two dollar reduction in pay for that position I don't like; I could see a 50¢ reduction, because they could not go on road, if necessary.
