The reply from the local was that UPS can move "equipment" however they want. I asked what this meant and was told to just read the contract.  Section 4. Work Assignments The Employer agrees to respect the jurisdictional rules of the Union and, except as otherwise provided in this Master Agreement, Supplements, Riders, or Addenda, shall not direct or require their employees or persons, other than employees in the bargaining units here involved, to perform work which is recognized as the work of the employees in said units. This is not to interfere with bona fide agreements with bona fide unions. The Employer further agrees not to combine into a single job work presently performed by members of one Teamster Local Union with work presently performed by members of another Teamster Local Union. While I agree that it is none of my business how our customers decide to enter their packages into the UPS system I cannot understand (at least not yet) how UPS can choose how to move them based on cost or convenience. I base this on UPS supply chain solutions being a part of UPS. The stand of our local is that since these guys are non union UPS can use them to divert work to a third party at will. Any other ideas? Thanks for the replies to all. There were other articles that I tried as well but they were all shot down. They also claim that this is a Southern region agreement to allow UPS to move feeder work by third party. They would not show me this agreement even though I asked nicely. I was polite even though filled with rage. All I could think of was all this money I'm spending on membership and I cannot even get someone to take five minutes to explain this to me. </blockquote>
