[542thruNthru]

Who told you it was tentative? I’ve olny heard it was in principle.

This is from the teamsters website

Once these Supplements are resolved there will be a meeting of all local unions known as the “two-person committee” (two officers and/or agents from each Local Union representing UPS) to review the tentative agreement.


This is UPS.

They have an “agreement in principle”

That’s like saying “yeah we will eventually get something wrapped up so you slobs can get your packages of underwear and dog food”.

Never have we heard this “alternative term”. Define “agreement in principle”?

So again we have a tentative agreement on the national contract but not the supplements and riders.

It means nothing.
We had a strike authorization vote only to keep the vote no’s happy.
We have an agreement in principle to keep the customer happy.
Do we or do we not have a master agreement, without supplements, riders or addendums?

An incubent would not need political posturing in front of the company.

 

[542thruNthru]

Nope

Ok whatever you say. It doesn't matter. It will come out when it comes out. Tentative agreement or not.

Tell us how the "Amazon Effect" is going to spell our doom if we don't vote Yes.

6% of our volume is a game changer?
Whatever.

But it would after almost losing the last election when one of the solid vote generators jumps ship during contract of an already hostile membership. Or I could be wrong.

I think wording in the master can still be changed. And of course supplements wording will change the details to the master.

The only issue was political posturing at the negotiating table. Do it all you want in the proper forum.

They are all spewing the same story. If they weren’t ing with people’s livelihoods

It would be comical

B.U.G. You are the head cheerleader for the IBT. What gives? Why is the Master details so secret? I know, we will see it before we vote..but why the delay?

Maybe we’ll vote on it before we read it, like Congress did with Obamacare.
