Teamsters to meet August 9, to discuss contract. UNACCEPTABLE!!

[Crumudgeon]

Our Union just released a statement that they will be meeting August 9th to discuss the Freight agreement. Our old contract is up on July 31. This is UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!! They make a handshake "agreement" then keep it secret, they allow a contract extension without any input from the people who they represent, and pay them. I urge all to express their extreme displeasure with this whole process. Call your Local, call your B A, call anybody who will listen, {and if they don't listen, call them again}. Demand that they release details of this contact NOW!!!!!! I was told by my BA, "It's not perfect, but it's the best we have ever had", in my opinion that scares the @%it out of me. I am totally disgusted at the timeline we are being force-fed....

 

[Crumudgeon]

Really??? Not one comment? Not one "agree, like", anything? Seems like no one friggin' cares? I've got 34 weeks till I am out of here. Best of luck to ya all.....

 

[Indecisi0n]

Not one like OMG!

 

[Crumudgeon]

Were getting it up the wazoo. We should be marching on the Union Hall with pitchforks and torches... At least small pak seems to have some interest in their future... I had hoped my last contract would be a good one, but,,, oh well....

All you can do is vote no..

Maybe a union steward will come by to explain how it actually a good contract.

 

[Crumudgeon]

As a Steward, I would love to try, unfortunately they are releasing no official information, and my BA was on the negotiating committee... "Can't comment till National Meeting", horse$***.....

 

[silenze]

All you can do is vote. And encourage others to vote

What do you want to know?

What makes it a good contract?

 

[Indecisi0n]

What makes it a good contract?

It's a win win for both sides. All will profit in the end.

2% raise over 4 years lol bs if you ask me we where sold out from the start

 

[Crumudgeon]

Disgraceful, lots of chest beating in the beginning, total cave in at the end... A yes vote is a sell-out to our future... NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[maxicoze]

Could someone explain the two-tier system the company wants to use?

i know what two-tier is, i'm just not clear specifically, numbers-wise, how the company wants to implement this?

To cap new hires at a different pay scale as compared to ones hired before a certain date.. Goes against the core of Union values in my humble opinion....
