Negotiations

[clean hairy]

They will buy all the duct tape, zip ties, and JB weld they can find to keep the current trucks on the road another 15 years!
For those in the north east, tons of rust encapsulator....

I heard they will open a restoration shop.

Yeah UPS is gonna start buying up box vans at fleet auctions across the country!

This concession on UPS' part wasn't even a concession. It's like going to a dealership now and the salesperson offers you a free upgrade for automatic windows over the hand crank windows.

It costs less to get the A/C feature than to take it out....just like power steering feature.

UPS complained publicly about the frequent stop, doors opening, and trucks being off issue that wasn't really an engineering problem at all. It was a UPS didn't want to spend a nickel issue. See no-idle air conditioners with high capacity cooling exist. They are battery operated. You've probably seen them on top of campers and RV's. They can be easily retrofitted. It just costs more than nothing. But it is more than gluing a piece of aluminum foil around the frame and installing a fan so you know what the company wants to spend until it costs them nothing for the option on a new truck.

Want to let the company go the cheap way and have basically an under-powered A/C that is no better than a fan with a cup of ice in front of it--let UPS work out the details. Want to have a cool cabin: put the words no-idle air conditioners with high cooling capacity in the contract.

I dont ever wanna hear the phrases “tick tock” or “clocks ticking” ever again. How about “sands thru the hourglass escape us” or “precious moments are fleeting?” Talk about wearing shlt out.

Only an issue on certain right wing social media sites. Most normal people could care less.

Normal? Lol. Oh how the world has fallen

Heard there’s a clause in the contract stating that ups must maintain its purchasing rate of new package cars as they did over the last contract

 

[clean hairy]

They will buy them within the time frame, and let them sit until needed, which could be years....

 

[UnionStrong]

Normal? Lol. Oh how the world has fallen

Half are perverts or don’t mind perversion. Wonder what side he’s on? Lol

How you making $60/hr as part time?

 

[PT Car Washer]

How you making $60/hr as part time?

What some of the FT are asking for. My wages are tied to FT wages. I joke with the PT sups when I hit OT. $.99 a minute. Most don't get it.
