HOFFA TO RETIRE MARCH OF 2022

[Up In Smoke]

I have zero proof to support the rumor going through our local, but it's been mentioned that UPS guaranteed a large contribution to the health funds for a first vote yes on the contract. The IBT pushed the voting bylaws to obtain the funds.

I've never seen the union push a contract so hard

Our supplement had language that would increase our pension only if voted yes the first time.

That would almost make you think they were trying to push through a bad contract.

They didn't want to watch the embarrassing spectacle of all the UPS people

that would have crossed the picket line....

My supplement, without one key feature, isn’t that bad. It was a no brainer to take the extra pension increase.

No he isn't running. The election is in2021 the new term starts in 2022
Just in time for contract negotiations

So we won’t get the satisfaction of voting him out

Plenty of other POS that also need to go.

It wouldn't surprise me if this generation wouldn't honor the picket line.

That would not have happened in my building ...just saying

Even as solid as my Local is.... we still had people cross in "97".

 

[BadIdeaGuy]

Among the part timers at my building, my bet would be at least 50% would cross.

Nobody crossed at my building in 97. We also had a lot of support from other unions. It was amazing how these other company vehicles accidentally broke down in front of the gates .

Half them don't show up for work when they are supposed to....

Our local rider contract talks got shut down and everyone sent home never to talk again once the IBT announced an agreement in principle. I will never understand how one can negotiate a regional and or a local without seeing what's in the master. In all the process has deteriorated each contract since the strike. Give back after give back.

We had drivers cross and hide out in the back of pkg cars, to help deliver.

Then the volume dried up. We had some hard-core freight guys show up and

caused UPS to file for an injunction to limit the number of picketer's to 4.


We had a lot of fun.

We had office people trying to sneak out packages in their personal vehicles. The police made them turn around and go back to the building because they didn't have a DOT card. Lol

The contract books keep getting bigger.

Give back after give back ??

Nonsense.

22.4 is a big give back, especially with the language or should I say lack of.

Mine had a couple cross. Both were gone within a couple of years. We did get a ton of support from other unions too.
