Seniority Part Timers Employees Got Screwed Again on Tentative contract!!!

[Arizax2]

It was quite obvious to most everyone that Sean was reaching out to Amazon warehouse employees during his rallies as Amazon is the next big target for the Teamsters.

Do you think this contract helped or hurt those organizing efforts?

Helped. Man did a full blown media run. CNN, MSNBC etc. All while accepting the deal in a few hours today. He had every intention to not accept the first deal early on because he wouldn't have the airtime on TV to promote the teamsters. He took the spotlight to speak directly to Amazon workers then accepted the UPS deal.

Everyone's getting a nice raise and they're still crying
Unbelievable

It's why the attitude towards them by most drivers is what it is. Nothing will ever be enough when you think your entitled to anything. Pt needs a progression only way to end this debate.

So. All new PT hires are getting $21?

Current employees get bumped from $21 + $2.75 + (up to) $1.50?

Seems pretty fair.

However, current employees who have been there for 8-10 years and someone who made seniority yesterday would nearly be making the same amount with the difference being how much of that $1.50 they receive. Do I have that right or am I missing something?

No, new hires have a progession to go through, they start at 21

A nice raise and I’m two days into the week with 14 misloads and 4 hours of OT due to poor load quality. My loaders laughing his way to the bank.

How do you have 14 misloads already? Did they not roll out the RFID pals yet?

 

[Jackburton]

This is honestly the best contract it was ever offered to us in my entire career

I’ll wait to see how the pension looks before saying that.

 

[Jackburton]

I'll reserve judgement until I see the HWP

100% agree. If it wasn’t a highlight, I’m a little concerned.

Doesn't matter if it's on the wrong box

 

[Jackburton]

This is a great contract for the Teamsters. Take this as a win.

Yes, higher wages equal higher dues, let’s see how our pension is.

That'd be a pretty bad chain for one truck. Since the rollout the vast majority of misloads are missed add cuts because they keep running us past driver start time.

They're telling unloaders to go faster and SPAers are not stopping the belt.

The problem is there are so many different pension plans how can you address all of them

Well you won't have to file a 9-5 grievance anymore, pay will be automatic. Tough guy Sean fixed that mess, right,?

And so are you we're all paid by the hour

 

[Bag_Tosser]

Wait. The $2.75 general raise isn't applied After the automatic bump to $21?

Having 6 years over the newbies and only a $1.50, maximum, above them is gonna suuuuuck. That said, it is what it is.

 

[Dulce Bombón]

You get 2.75 up front plus your 1.50

That's 4.25 not 4.80= No equality as O'Brien said

 

[Jackburton]

Pension contributions are a national item. If there’s no substantial increase, I’m going to take issue with that.

Why don't you wait until you see the contract details and how it all works before jumping off the deep end, everything is just bits and pieces right now

Oof. On my belt there's only me and 1 other guy that aren't new. We keep slappin that big red button. Especially when the new guys start tripping over themselves

Good on you for being a decent Teamster. All the brothas and sistas here don't care
