Teamster Buyout?

[Oh Shoot]

Funny fact about this buyout. Since last week, we’ve had more supervisors resign than drivers take this buyout in my building.

Well, one I know didn’t even have a job lined up., he could see the writing on the wall they’re not gonna hire and he’s tired of being an underpaid driver.

Normally the retiree would transition directly to a retiree healthcare plan without lapse in coverage; however, depending upon their individual situation, those who take this buyout with the intent to retire may be faced with a potential gap in coverage between their separation date and their retirement date. This is why it is crucial to start the retirement process immediately after going to the website on the letter to accept the buyout. I was under the impression that part of this buyout was coverage through the end of the year which is why I was hoping someone would post a full (redacted) copy of the letter.

Anyone who does not meet their pension fund's minimum requirements for a full pension and still chooses to accept this buyout would be on their own to find coverage, whether through their spouse or new employer.

Starting in August the company is planning to launch its “Extended Service”. All drivers are required to take classes in massage therapy and lawn care. Any drivers that resist will be required to take the buyout and leave the company. All package cars will have accelerator pedals replaced with holes in the floor for “flintstone” push pedaling. The new “Cool Solutions” will launch with a cat on board every package car for “milking hydration”……….”See you in August!!!!”

Cost of doing business.

Not really they’re certainly violating the spirit of the contract. There is no doubt they’re purposely not re-hiring people. The penalties were intended to stop the violations, not continue them perpetually and purposely.

A culture of dishonesty at UPS has existed for many years

Absolutely but it was at least hidden now out in the open and they don’t care.

At my old center,(been out 15 years) no one is taking it. Reading this thread and talking to some drivers I still know, I really don't get it. I know a feeder driver with 48 years of full time. He's not taking it. Several drivers who would have insurance and the time aren't taking it.
I left like everybody else, on a wing and a prayer but, you have to walk away from the money.
Say what you want, like everyone is making some great stand that if you turn it down, UPS is going to come back with a better offer. Don't count on it. This is gonna piss them off. Things are gonna get ugly and there is gonna be a lot of drivers which they would have left.
If you don't walk away and can with a little extra icing on top they're giving, they own you whether you admit or not.

It’s clear by your reply that it’s a cost of doing business. You have a problem understanding what integrity is. So I guess it’s not shocking that you might not have seen it if you’re not aware of what it actually is.

 

[UnionStrong]

Yawn.

Exactly how we feel.

I can help you understand the cost of doing business as opposed to having no integrity when you make an agreement

The cost of doing business would be for a short time while you’re attempting to hire new driver’s management has to work and you have to pay these grievances that could be understandable.


But if you’ve gone multiple years,without replacing drivers you’re having your own management quit and you know your multiple drivers short and you purposely and willfully go out of your way to not staff the operation correctly that is violating the spirit of the agreement, and is in fact an integrity issue.
