[QUOTE="DELACROIX, post: 5672034, member: 49065"] What is most concerning is the gentleman's remarks about possible reprisals...If a long time Union Official close to retirement has to worry about that it doesn't fare well for the average rank and file. Has the International been punishing certain Locals, Conferences or work groups that continue to ask the wrong questions or vote a certain way. We seen this favoritism before with our elections and the pay back time with the following contracts, playing politics instead of representing their rank and file. Right now my opinion (subject to change) about this TA is: (The Master appears to correct most of the previous concessions). O'Brien did keep his promises, really he wasn't asking for much to begin with. Saying that the supplements and riders are a big nothing sandwich, no real improvements with the Central and Southern, I haven't read the others, it appears to me that they settled those early to get to the real meat with the Master. Most of those supplemental and rider negotiators were the same ones as the previous Contract, they did a very good job at protecting their status quo as usual. Expecting O'Brien and his team to correct decades old decisions and compromise would take a miracle with his first Contract. Unfortunately again we will leave members behind with this one...The most grievous problem I see with this one is the lack of any improvements for those part time years previous or current under the UPS Pension Plan, less than a 200 dollar improvement till 2028, watch out for any increases with our retirees' co pays also, those increases could be easily be erased, similar to the 2013 one. They raised the IBT/UPS Pension Plan benefits around 400 dollars a month, then raised our retiree's health and welfare co pays from 50/100 to 150/300....now it is 200/400 a month.. It is a rotten shame that they couldn't improve the other factors with our Pensions or Health and Welfare packages, in some areas they have, but with a vast majority of our membership there was not much thought behind it...especially with the supplements and riders....Just get it done, business as usual...
