Yea let’s just see the contract so we can vote. And they better do it early in case it gets voted down. Just the thought or whisper of a strike will make ups nervous. I got a feeling the retro check is in our future

All you have is goals that you think the IBT should have. Still no strategies, or even action steps that any regular upser can employ. The only time it's a good idea to show your opposition you hand is if you have an insurmountable upper hand, or if you can make them think you do with misdirection. Otherwise, tipping your hand is for fools and people amateurs.

Lol the point is we didn’t have any of that stuff and we still had support.

Perhaps there is more support across the board than some people would have us believe.

They will be going through the Supplements, Riders first, once those are settled on to the Master.
No more Retros....just another term for Bonuses...used primarily for passing concessionary contracts...
The Deadline is set...no extension...no stonewalling ....
That's a good strategy

They used to start almost a year early and waste a lot of time. This time it will be condensed and they better come ready.

$40 an hour! No way in hell I'd do this just for $40 an hour. Luckily I make more then that.

But the reason for doing the master first is to see what they do there, then make proper adjustments at the regional and local levels. What if they negotiate something at the national level that voids supplemental language?

Have to ask O’Brien...I believe that Master language over rides Supplemental, except when there is superior language contained in the Supplements or Riders. Most of the GWI, pension and health and welfare contributions are spelled out under Master language.
The last couple of contracts were never settled and went past the deadline because members voting down their supplements. Really is a smart move to nail these supplements before getting to the Master.

The master overrides supplemental language when it says it does. Company might be happy to give regions what they ask for knowing the master could shut it down. I'm not sure it's a great idea.

Art 40 is a good example.
well put....thats why negotiators are responsible to get together and without bluster threats or coercions make a viable contract ....

Can we just get rid of that albatross as well?

They most certainly will do just that, The bluster will come if the company decides to drag their feet or not negotiate in good faith. If that doesn’t happen everything goes smooth.

They will start negotiating the supplementals first but they won't be finished before the national. In my opinion the supplemental agreements take longer because they have more that constantly needs to be changed. National has a lot of areas that rarely get touched.
