Which is a pay cut for the week... no wonder guys are working through their vacations...

Budget based on 40 and it won't be a big deal.

 

[Delivered]

Im gonna be honest. This almost looks like a win to me. I would completely support considering that list of concessions, in trade for other areas we want improvements in.

With UPS making record profits every year since the last contract why on earth would you support any concessions at all?

That's what I don't understand. There's always give and take in negotiations but the company's concessions can't even be taken seriously

Is this non consecutive workweek BS for new hires or current full-timers? And why doesn't the work week get negotiated in the national? If the national goes through then we know what will happen to the locals!

Is there a link to this letter? I can’t find it anywhere but here. Wanna make sure it’s legit.

I copied and pasted it from the Teamsters Joint Council 10 Facebook page

You yes strike guys should go out and look for a job that pays $36hr without a degree. Let us know what you find.

There are jobs like that out there that make that much or more. You just have to have something of value to offer.

But seriously you don't want your employees that you make that profit from to get a full two days rest?

This past peak should be all the indication you need on how much UPS cares about your rest.

 

[eats packages]

Sunday should be opt-in only (no forcing onto this shift like T-S) and days off will always be 2 consecutive days. This or strike.

Negotiations update on UPS Rising.

Can you post it here? I had to uninstall the ups rising app because it kept crashing

 

[Heavy Package]

UPS cares nothing for the hard working hourly people. I'm ready to strike over their greed and lack of respect for us.

Think you can replace 250k workers and not have your stock tank along with everything else?

friend 'Em. Let's walk and see what they do.

The Teamsters UPS National Negotiating Committee has concluded its fifth week of negotiations and achieved tentative improvements to parts of the contract covering excessive overtime, harassment and other issues. The UPS Freight National Negotiating Committee made progress on CDL training requirements this week.

“The committee reached tentative agreements on a number of issues,” said Denis T, Director of the Teamsters Package Division and Co-Chairman of the union’s UPS Negotiating Committee. “The tentative agreements on particular articles are not final until the entire contract is negotiated, but the committee wants to keep members updated.”

So far the negotiations have focused on the union’s proposals. The Teamsters and the company have reached tentative agreements on many proposals, including articles 3.1, 3.3, 3.7, 6.4, 8.7, 12, 17 and 37.

The Safety and Health Committee has reached tentative agreements on Articles 14, Sections 1 and 2; Article 16, Section 4; Article 18, Sections 1, 3, 6, 18.1, 21 and (new section) 28; Article 20, Section 4; Article 35, Section 3.3; and Article 44, Section 1 and 2.

On Article 37, the union has made significant improvements to Sections (a) harassment, (b) eight-hour days and (c) over 9.5.

On Article 37, Section (a), the tentative agreement will create a new Article 37 National Committee to deal with harassment. The new committee will have a sitting arbitrator to break deadlocks. The committee will have contractual authority to award a monetary penalty of up to three days pay depending on the severity of the offense. The new language would also require any member of management deemed by the committee to have committed two or more violations in a two year period to appear in person before the committee for any subsequent grievance(s).

Under the Article 37 (b) tentative agreement, if UPS fails to adjust a driver’s dispatch to comply with this section, the driver will receive the current two hour penalty and also retain the eight hour request for later use.

On the Article 37 (c) tentative agreement, the drivers will no longer need to wait for a violation to get on the 9.5 list or go to the manager to get on the list. The union will collect the names of drivers who want to be on the 9.5 list and provide those names to management in January and June. In addition, a driver may elect to add or remove their names to the list at ANY TIME during the two five month periods, with one week's notice to UPS.

Finally, the provision dealing with repeated violations has also been significantly improved. The current language triggers a review by UPS and the union after three violations in a five month period and a higher level of review after any subsequent violation in that same five month period. The new language removes the first level review and triggers the higher-level review after four violations in a calendar year, which will expedite that process.

UPS FREIGHT
The Teamsters National UPS Freight Negotiating Committee made strides in securing stronger language for members during this week’s negotiations.

The union has tentatively agreed to a true training program that will encourage bargaining unit employees to obtain their CDL in order to fulfill full-time CDL positions. The qualifications to achieve these full-time driving positions have been streamlined as well, by reducing the time requirements.

The next round of negotiations is scheduled for the week of April 8.

Currently vacations in Local 25 are paid based on your average weekly wage rather than a fixed number of hours, usually 45 or 50. 1/52 normally works out better, especially if you work OT.

Everyone in the NE Supplement gets to enjoy the 1/52 vacation check. 251 included! Thanks Sean!

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

No

That's his IQ

 

[MyTripisCut]

I’m disgusted with anyone who thinks these concessions are even remotely reasonable, and who is afraid to strike or threaten to strike, for a better existence. UPS is trying to turn this into a ten year job, while dangling pension and retirement at a decent age. The way things are going, no one will be able to do this job into their 50’s. It’s time to have some balls and draw a line in the sand, or we are going to regret it for a long, long time.

Unfortunately everyone is worried about how many nickels their raises is going to be.

Yep. Lotta people are mostly worried about near term impacts on their wallets. When what'll really save UPS the big bucks is to give small annual raises in exchange for an assurance via concessions that they'll be able to run large chunks of the the workforce into the ground. Let 'em quit and not have to pay for the retirement and benefits.

 

[cosmo1]

Make all the new hires work that schedule.

Slough it off on the new guys because you already have yours?

Or I could take a knee and take a lesser job like you did. Because you wasn't man enough to do the job

Go away Barney.
You are a loser.
