Teamster Buyout?

[tourists24]

Well I guess that's why they are offering it to everyone

That way they can say you didn't have the opportunity .

Is it offer actually out there now officially? It would put the ball back in the IBT's court.

Supposedly this week sometime.
I have no clue and my local union officials have no clue either.

This could potentially apply but I think it mainly has to do with discipline.

Article 6 is a catch all with anything outside of the scope of the contract. If you take a buyout offer you would be required to sign an agreement to accept it and it's terms. That's a big contractual violation. I'd be interested to hear BUG's opinion on this

I foresee a lawsuit if UPS goes through with it. Even if the offer goes to everyone there is a limit as to how many UPS will accept.

I definitely can't do that one.

We'll have to see what's done about it. As long as SOB gets the extra union dues from the 7,500 combo jobs I don't think he cares. I also think UPS is doing the buyout to fill the 22,500 full time jobs ( fill, not create) that part timers are supposed to get during the contract.

Could very well be the case as to why UPS is doing this now. I will say though that I think O'brien does care. I have a long time friend that has worked at the IBT for a long time and for K. Hall, Hoffa, and now O'brien; and O'brien is definitely as upstanding of a president that Teamsters can get (obviously just my opinion though). Taking on UPS is an uphill climb

And they have a slightly bigger bank account than the Teamsters do...

Let's see how this all plays out.
Either way it gave me many things to think about.

I still don’t understand how a union contract can force a company to hire more employees. I know what it says, and I do believe the jobs are warranted right now, but what if they weren’t?

They went through that during the 97 contract

That always baffled me also. No one knows what the economy will do during the contract years.

I have a feeling they might use low volume as an excuse to not create all the jobs and then drag it out in arbitration.

Well when the union shows the judge 50k 9.5. Grievances....

Like I said, is it warranted? Probably. But the union cannot run the company.

That is true bit the company lost their case in the 97 contract.
