I accept your apologies

I’m local 710.

We aren’t central. Or central plains.
But you’d know that if you actually were an hourly here.

It’s amazing you didn’t know local 710 was also in southern Illinois, which is a different district than Chicago, how embarrassing for you

Do they honestly have enough in the coffer to burn this whole thing down and start over? I'm beginning to believe that might say it.

Nobody mentions all the money they have saved from selling off freight, I believe that was sold for close to $800 million.

They sold it for 400 million less than they paid for it

 

[Babboo77]

They sold it for 400 million less than they paid for it

Yeah, but they still save money from not having it the past three years

 

[Brownwind]

I live in the republican part of the state, we have our hands on our own pockets.

At least you got good deer hunting. Illinois is awesome in the fall

I remember reading an article a year or so ago. T-force looked into ups pricing structure for ups freight….and said it was *. They re-did everything, and supposedly they were turning big profit. And this was at least a year ago I read this article.

The amount of people on FMLA is through the roof. A lot of those guys are using MORE days now also. They have 12 weeks worth so they take them. As opposed to calling in once a month or so before.

Especially just for Saturday in my building.

 

[Pullman Brown]

Damn dude you love to argue.

So do you!

 

[Brownslave688]

It is, and it isn’t, basically, the company can tell you at any time that you can’t use the day, due to staffing issues. Naturally people call in anyway and the company tries to discipline. We have successfully argued if they pay someone they cannot also discipline.

Pass that memo on to 688. BA literally just told our stewards they can discipline even if you’re paid for that day.

 

[Babboo77]

So do you!

Your mom

688 is notorious for having corrupt BAs

You are not under the central region supplement. Districts are management definitions. We are talking about union contracts.

 

[Pullman Brown]

Your mom

Tell corporate hello and stop playing around!

 

[Brownslave688]

Not voting on our BA is a big problem.

 

[BadIdeaGuy]

Yeah, because we are in a different district, I am almost 5 hours away from the union hall

You are full of it. And wrong.

My business agent is also the president of 710, they recently hired a new BA to help out, a retired business agent at that, one who was active with the gift card fiasco.

I know Del too. The gift card debacle is old news and irrelevant. You got a point?

It’s amazing you didn’t know local 710 was also in southern Illinois, which is a different district than Chicago, how embarrassing for you

Wow.

 

[Pullman Brown]

He works for corporate.

 

[BadIdeaGuy]

There is nothing in my locals contract about attendance so they can try to discipline all they want

Del seems to disagree with that position. At least as of the last time he took my buildings stewards out to breakfast.
