[QUOTE="Superteeth2478, post: 3692426, member: 73024"] You know what's funny? I got my information straight from the Teamsters.org website (the tentative master agreement) and was able to produce my own counterpoints to the language without any help from a "vote no" page from anyone. It wasn't even hard. Much of what can be used to counter the argument that all this new language is "strong" language can be taken straight from what the IBT says the membership wanted. For instance, the IBT claims the membership wanted less overtime. That can't be denied (a lot of drivers are sick of excessive overtime). That said, how does creating a lower-paid class of drivers that is explicitly stated to not have 9.5 protection fix the excessive overtime problem? It just passes it on to someone else. That's silly. That's not strong language, only a :censored: would think that passing the problem on to someone on an unfavorable work schedule that is paid less to be on that unfavorable work schedule thinks that fixes the problem.
