Contract Negotiations

[babboo25]

Yeah ok.


I'm sorry you don't feel like your BA gave you a fair shake for stealing packsges.

So I’m a runner, in management, a pt sup, constipated and now a thief, the BC click has spoken.

That’s what they assume when you don’t agree with them.

On topic: When should we start to hear something from the union on the proposals and such?

I compare my job to the local chemical plant in my city. Same pay rate. Only for a family plan of insurance they pay $500 a month. $3200 deductible. No pension. I don’t get greedy.

And how much profit is that chemical plant making?

That would be "clique".

 

[Johney]

My god if that doesn't scream management I don't know what does.

This sure does.

Yea and you made $115k sitting on your ass all year, yea you deserve a raise.

Don’t know. Don’t really care.

 

[Johney]

Well it kinda matters when you're comparing benefit's don't you think?

Kind of. But I’m not that interested in it cause I don’t work there.

Union jobs should set the standard, so the industry can bring itself closer to their level. Not look at what the rest of the industry is doing, and lower the standard accordingly.

I compare my job to other local union labor. It's slightly above average.

Exactly...and if you look at other industries that are union vs, non union they pay rate and benefits pkg isn’t that much more with Union shops.... ie the grocery industry...being union is more than just pay and benefits...there’s other “language “ associated with it..

Hey troll !!!
You attacked Wally on the first page because he didn’t agree with you. Now you think the “clique” is against you when you had your brass knuckles on before anybody else posted.

Keep playing the victim !!!

What I’m really saying is I don’t think the public would be happy with us if we strike. They already think we are over payed dumb truck drivers. We would lose way to much business and be out of jobs. Give a little take a little. No need to be spoiled brats about everything.

Of course they wouldn't be happy,no one would. Where did you get your info that the public thinks we're overpaid dumb truck drivers? I never heard that from any of my customers in all my years here.Where would all the business go? FedEx? USPS? They both had a chance to do that in 97 yet passed,you think they're better prepared to take our volume? You think either could handle it?

 

[burrheadd]

I remember there was a rumor going around that we may be going to $40 an hour. Can anybody clarify on that?

Negotiations just started this morning

They are still trying to figure out who sits where

So, no nobody can clarify that
