The scare tactics and vote yes or else ultimatums are exactly the same M.O. the Teamsters used in 2013. I am sure many locals have already sent out similar letters or have them in the works.
The company controlled union consisting of Hoffa, Taylor and others is garbage. It is a cancer.
The Union is willing to push this threat onto those hard working UPSers......but they are unwilling to answer a few questions???
Will we have our right as RPCDs to available OT? Or will it be contractually allowable for UPS to work RPCD's 40 hours with no option for OT and work 22.4's up to 70 hours?
Do the protected driver #s come from the number of actual drivers who physically work a M-friend schedule for that week? Or would the protected driver list be derived from all of the drivers who could work M-friend?
Why is the number of 22.4s derived from the entire package car employee list....while the protected jobs are derived from ONLY the actual #or drivers who worked M-friend?
How is the Overtime issue considered to be addressed when now instead of saddling employees with 4 years of NO Excessive OT protection; It now goes to 5 years of no Excessive OT protection? Why not offer OT on a seniority basis to RPCDs and 22.4s and then force the 22.4's. and then force RPCDs if necessary?
Why are the 22.4's guaranteed 40 hours while RPCDs are not guaranteed 40 hours?
Make it clear to the part timers that they may have to work up to 70 hours per week for 5 years with no recourse for relief from excessive OT. Part Timers do not know what........Article 37, Section 1.b. and c. shall not apply to 22.4 combination drivers means.
It is the Union's duty to not sugar coat this pile of doo doo.
Easy questions that Hoffa/Taylor continue to refuse to answer. Questions that should have been answered weeks ago.
