Contract proposals for 2018

[Inthegame]

It's so hard to knock the sellouts out of office because every election here there is at least 3 slates running. So to keep it simple the whole local is still angry about what has been done here. I don't mean to bring others in to my locals issues but I can guarantee you this is the weakest leadership in the country.

How do the "sellouts" keep office if the whole local is angry?
The leadership still needs a plurality of votes in multi slate elections. Your issue should be with your members, not the folks they elect.
Apparently (like we didn't already know this) you're not much of a Pied Piper...

Actually, the majority is happy. Except for some regions.
FACT

Happy???
Not sure that's the operative word?

20 out of 1,800 UPSer's saw fit to attend a contract proposal meeting in my Local yesterday.

Sad FACT....but the truth.

That could mean that there is a lot of apathy, or they are happy with the current contract as it stands.

I get your point. How about accepting of status quo? And it is sad. Not much involvement anywhere. We live in a society that are too busy getting to the next level of candy crush than to participate in something that directly affects their livelihood. You can clearly tell who are the involved on this site.

The Northern hemisphere is a region.

I'll go with apathy, with a side of self centered Me-sterness.

Interesting side note; the modern day initiative, by the newly elected Central Region VP's/scoundrels of the Teamsters United Slate, of having cards filled out at the gates or electronically via social media were very well received here.

How dare they buck the status quo.

Is there a middle finger rating?

Cards filled out? What are these cards for?

I already know I'm !

Do you feel that these will be submitted to the contract director?

 

[Bubblehead]

Do you feel that these will be submitted to the contract director?

Yes, as well as the other information entered into a database.

Now ask me if I feel the Contract Director will consider them.

Will the contract director consider them? Mind you, I've had a similar conversation with him about this.

I like that, and think that is a good idea to do this were they can return it immediately, if these make it up to the people who negotiate. It is unreasonable, however, to think all the suggestions will be implemented into the contract.

I would hope so?

I give them more chance of consideration than those collect yesterday at the Union Hall yesterday.

Because after all, submissions from 20 should always be trumped by those of nearly 600?

Perhaps the IBT could learn something here?

It's unreasonable to think half of the suggestions will make it into the final draft, but it's like buying a car.
Start on opposite ends of the spectrum....and meet in between.

The notion that Teamsters will take a Sunday afternoon to go to the Hall are over....and unnecessary.

It's time for this organization to graduate into the 21st century.

But some people will think that unless it is in, that they never saw/considered it.

 

[Bubblehead]

But some people will think that unless it is in, that they never saw/considered it.

That distinction was already drawn when 600 chose to participate, while 1,200 opted not to?

Are you advocating not asking?

Except for giving them your cellphone number and email address.

That was optional.

Some didn't even put their name on it.
