Teamster Buyout?

[Thebrownblob]

Deny pensions and throw people out of the union.

So you would fight something he called illegal doing something illegal that would also get sued?

And how are you going to throw people out of the union who are retiring? This doesn’t even make sense.

And if they weren’t retiring, you would throw them out of the union and they would still be working here, not paying dues.

You have to think
Before you speak

The Buyout is an Extra Contract agreement and a violation of the contract.

SOB should be thrown out of office for allowing this.

Nope and nope.

Nice try, thanks for playing.

Violating the contract as a Teamster should have consequences.
Accepting the buyout is a violation of the collective bargaining agreement you are working under.
It undermines Teamster Solidarity.

Teamsters who accept a buyout should be dealt with severely.

No one cares what you think.

Nope and nope.

Do you pay my bills?

Contractual issues with the buyout notwithstanding, I'm sure the company already has a rough idea of how many drivers they want to eliminate, and they're going to get rid of them one way or another. If not enough people take the buyout, they will just start laying off from the bottom.

That doesent solve the problem of getting rid of expensive workers and hiring cheap workers they cost about half as much

The contract is not meant to discipline Teamsters. Thats management roll, not ours.

Not to mention laid off drivers don’t really get laid off in most instances they just go work in the building and bump part timers

How come nobody was whining when they were paying part timers extra for just showing up?
Or is that somehow “different”

That's not what Article 6 states. Article 6 states anything which in any way conflicts with the provisions of this Agreement.

The buyout does not conflict with any provision in the current agreement. It is also voluntary. If you don't like it, don't do it.

The buyout does not conflict with lay off language. You are not being laid off.
The buyout does not conflict with seniority. They are going by seniority.
The buyout does not conflict with any work rules of guaranteed hours, wages, OT, etc..
The buyout does not conflict with retirement and pension. You keep it.
The buyout does not conflict with resignation or quitting.
The buyout does not conflict with disciplinary procedures.
The buyout does not conflict with employee management relations.

I could go on and on. Let's make it quicker. What provision in the agreement is this buyout conflicting with in order to classify an Article 6 violation?

You can't just say it violates Article 6 because it is an extra contract agreement, because that is not what Article 6 states.
