By paying attention to social media; more are able to wisely choose to vote no because of the facts presented. Hoffa/Taylor and UPS are both deceptive and not forthright regarding substantial changes in working conditions and wages. Here is the same question (NOT) answered by both UPS and the Teamsters. Their refusal to answer this simple straight forward question is more than enough reason to vote no.

Q: Will additions like the new combo driver job take over overtime from those who want it?
A: Under the tentative agreement, the union will now control the overtime (9.5) list. There will be two five-month periods each year during which drivers can
add their names to the list through the union. Drivers will also have the right to add or remove their names from the list at any time with one week’s notice to
UPS.
The company realizes many drivers welcome the opportunity for overtime and the additional income it provides them and their families. Less than 10
percent of drivers have opted out of overtime.
Also, keep in mind, the number of new combo driver will be capped at 25 percent of the number of protected jobs in a building (so if there are 100 regular
package car driver positions in a facility, there can only be up to 25 of the 22.4 combo position).
WHO CARES IF THE UNION CONTROLS THE 9.5 LIST AND WHO CARES THAT THE COMPANY REALIZES MANY DRIVERS WANT OT? ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION. PUT OUR RIGHTS TO OT IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE CBA.

Q: I’m a package car driver. Will the new 22.4 jobs reduce my chances of getting overtime if I choose to work overtime?
A: For package car drivers who enjoy as much overtime as possible, does the union believe that we will continue to be able to work all the overtime we have been able to work under the current contract? Right now there are lower-paid employees delivering packages on a daily basis alongside regular package car drivers (RPCD); they are called various names: regular temporary drivers, utility, cover, etc. These are part-time employees doing delivery; in many areas every day, all year long, with part-time pension and benefits. In addition, there are many areas currently operating Tuesday through Saturday ground delivery (at straight time) as allowed in the supplements. Despite this fact, daily overtime for RPCDs still exists and will always be a part of the package driver job. 22.4 combination drivers will help relieve the excessive, unwanted overtime.
THIS IS NOT AN ANSWER. TAYLOR REFUSES TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION. LANGUAGE SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDED PROTECTING EXISTING PACKAGE CAR DRIVERS RIGHTS TO ALL AVAILABLE OT.
THE UNION AND UPS CAN NOT EVEN TRUTHFULLY ANSWER A SIMPLE QUESTION. FLEMMING REFUSES TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION ALSO.
VOTE NO ON THIS POS. WHEN YOU HAVE PURPOSEFUL MISINFORMATION FROM BOTH UPS AND TAYLOR; IT HAS TO BE A NO VOTE. THE RIGHT TO OT QUESTIONS PRESENTED ARE ADDRESSING MAJOR CHANGES IN WORKING CONDITIONS AND WAGES. THIS IS WHERE UPS AND HOFFA/TAYLOR COULD BE FOUND TO HAVE BARGAINED IN BAD FAITH AND THE TEAMSTERS COULD BE FOUND TO HAVE NOT FULFILLED THEIR DUTY OF FAIR REPRESENTATION IN CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS.
