I've seen it used and worked successfully many times. i wouldn't sell it short. There is a binding arbitrator at the end of the process.

I just got my benefits package. And I have no clue on what type of plan I should take for Medical. I can choose from either PCP Network(CIGNA), PPN Network(BCBS) or from an HMO(Aetna). I was leaning toward PCP, but am considering the HMO plan. I would be the only one covered because I have no dependents etc. So does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks...

Tooner,
Here's the latest agency fee breakdown for our bargaining unit:
Full-Time
Part-Time
Full Rate
$46
$43
Agency fee
$54.89
$43.53
$40.69
The reductions in the fees aren't that great because the NLRB has been reluctant to enforce Beck. In a NLRB case known as California Saw, which set the standard for Beck cases in the private sector, the NLRB took the unions' accounting standards at face value while largely ignoring the procedural rules established in the U.S. Supreme Court case known as Hudson. The plaintiff's right to an independent audit of the unions' books was, for the most part, nullified by the California Saw ruling. The union-label NLRB hates Beck cases and hopes they go away. There were some Beck cases that sat for five to seven years before bogus rulings were made, which were contrary to Supreme Court case law. In fact, attorneys for the plaintiffs in several cases had to go to a federal appeals court to tell the NLRB to do its job in processing its work load. This is known as obtaining a writ of mandammus. The Weissbach and Pirlott cases come immediately to mind as examples. In fact, from what I understand, California Saw sat on the NLRB General Counsel's desk for nearly five years before issuing a complaint in the case.
There are a couple areas of the IBT Constitution, which I find objectionable. First, in Article VI, Section 9, of the IBT Constitution, it is noted the General President of the IBT has discretionary power to make expenditures from the general fund for lobbying and political purposes. This can be done despite the IBT's own PAC called DRIVE. General treasury funds can't be tied to anything which the phrase "vote for" is contained. Dues money in the general treasury can however, be used for issue advocacy for "voter education" purposes.
Secondly, in Article IX, Section 12, the General Executive Board has full and exclusive power to affiliate with other labor federations and/or other similar types of committees or conferences. Given this combination, members and nonmembers alike, may find the ideological positions of the General President and/or the affiliated labor federation, which is typically the AFL-CIO, to be contrary to one's system of personal values. This area alone can be a solid ground to stand on, if one wishes to refrain from union activity. In short, "To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." This immortal Jeffersonian principle is just as true today as it was over 200 years ago. I'm no fan of the AFL-CIO's Sweeney, especially since he is a member of Democratic Socialists of America.
The above is reflected in a percentage reduction in the per-capita tax the local union pays to the IBT and the Joint Council. A full amount is given, as to what the local paid. Then there are figures given for what is chargeable and nonchargeable, although their is no breakdown on how these expenses were calculated. So in effect, after reading through the unit cost calculation report, one has no idea how much money was spent in regards to the above mentioned Articles. Furthemore, officer salaries are deemed fully chargeable. So if an officer spends time politicking, one will never know the true value of that time.

speaking of, I was an int clerk until my recent switch to mornings, and eventually (soon) a p/t sup. the night time supervisor, or anyone else for that matter does not know how to do the international position, besides the guy that trained me, and myself. They have asked me to cover and help train the new guy because my former partner has a sickness in the family.
Now my question is, when I become a p/t sup. would i get paid anything for working mornings and then covering at night?
And more immediately, is it Over Time for myself since I work over or close to 5 every morning, and this would put me close to 8?

I am not sure if they are the same everywhere... but I chose BCBS because I go to the doc once a month so I have no co pay but whenever I have stuff done I pay 20%. I am not familiar with all the plans but as I understand it the PCP pays a co pay but most stuff they have done is covered %100. So I think it will depend on your needs and how you will use the benefits. If I am incorrect in my assessment of the plans... someone please let me know...

PT hourly gets OT after 5 hrs, if you are part time supervision, negotiate, see if you get paid for something called doubles, good luck, but basically I think it depends on your negotiating skills and your education on that matter, which you have learned on Browncafe 101. I still think if you dont know what you are suppose to get you most likely wont get it.

The former New York shipping clerk who air-shipped himself from Newark, N.J., to Dallas/Fort Worth Airport to visit his parents in DeSoto was sentenced Wednesday to one year's probation, which includes 120 days of house arrest, and a $1,500 fine.
Charles McKinley, 25, did not speak to re-porters after he was sentenced by U.S. Magistrate Judge Charles Bleil. McKinley, who pleaded guilty Nov. 6 to stowing away on an aircraft, could have received up to a year in jail and a $100,000 fine.
Bleil said that although McKinley's breach of security came as the airlines continue to face heightened scrutiny, he gave him probation because the "offense was to avoid paying airfare for a plane flight home.
"I don't like what you did. It was wrong and very stupid," Bleil said. "But I'm glad you are standing here this morning, rather than have met a fate much worse by the stupidity of your actions."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Fred Schattman and McKinley's defense attorney, Bill Glaspy, said they were satisfied with Bleil's sentence. McKinley will live at his parents' house in DeSoto during his probation, Glaspy said.
As part of the terms of his probation, McKinley must work. He had a job at a food company after his November plea. But that company would have wanted McKinley to drive in and out of D/FW Airport, Glaspy said, and after the company did a security check, McKinley lost that job.
"He has had a hard time finding a job and part of it was that nobody knew if he was going to be there" after sentencing, Glaspy said.
After he embarked on his 1,500-mile trip that began Sept. 5 and ended a day later, McKinley served three weeks in jail at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center in Dallas on outstanding warrants for a probation violation and a traffic ticket. He continued to serve jail time after pleading guilty to violating probation on a theft-by-check conviction.
McKinley said he made the trip because he didn't have any money and he was homesick. He was discovered when he poppped out of the cargo crate that had been delivered to his parents' home.
Originally, McKinley claimed that a United Parcel Service pilot friend helped him bypass airport security and that he was able to free himself from his 42-by-36-by-15-inch crate during the flight and wander around the cargo area.
In plea documents, however, McKinley said he acted alone and was unable to leave his crate. He said he charged the shipping cost to a UPS account he had set up and did not intend to pay UPS.
The shipping documents said the crate contained a computer, a monitor and clothes, according to a criminal complaint filed by an FBI agent.
A one-way ticket from New York, booked online in advance, would have cost about $270. McKinley's family has already paid about $6,800 in restitution to UPS to compensate the shipping company for its troubles, Glaspy said.
His journey exposed security loopholes in cargo shipments and sparked a debate about tightening cargo screening.

Mojo, my guess is yes you are going to be responsible. You may have not had any responsibility or say in the hiring of this person, some yahoo behind a desk probaly did that, and you may not know his/her name, or get a chance to log in who had the equipment when thrown into this area, but you are a PT sup therefore you are responsible, haha And what else did you have to do besides log in who was doing what function when you were thrown there????Im sure you had your feet up on some desk crunching numbers when the theft of these scanner heads took place, hahahahah Ill bet ....maybe you put them on ebay!!!!
and OMZIGGIZZEZ where did you go?

my 2 cents, pretty deep, and you do have a vast knowledge. I did not like that the teamsters backed Gephart or (can we say immediate loser), and I am not sure who I will back, I just feel if I want to spend money on politicians, I will, I dont need someone to use my money and do it, because I would never have agreed with that particular candidates backing. It sounds like an uphill battle, but what the heck, I love to start stuff. Ill keep you posted and thanks for the info.

well the last interview was today, and I don't think it went so well. the DM seems tough, and brought up her sporting back ground as what she brings to the position, and wanted to know what I can bring. After unlaoding trucks for 4 hours, and not getting off from class last night till near 10pm, my brain was stuck. NOW I thought I should have said, 'when you played sports, did you enjoy being a second stringer or did you work hard and practice to be a starter? I feel I should be a starter as well.'
The only good thing( i hope) is i have the hub managers on my side, and she, I was told, has the final say.

I work at a Mass. UPS facility. I may be moving to New Hampshire soon and am wondering if I can transfer to a UPS facility in NH.
If it is possible, would I lose my seniority? I don't have much, but I'd hate to lose it.
