Don't be afraid to vote no thinking we will strike! we would have to vote no 3 times with certain percentage of total teamsters having to vote before it ever came to that. but we do need to vote this down hard by a large margin for anything substantial to change. otherwise they give in on maybe 2 out of the 10 or 12 major issues and attach a signing bonus put it out again and bamm its a done deal

If they would've started the new driver at top rate then drivers at the top rate would feel like they got screwed. That scenario is more accurate imo.
I didn't sit in the negotiations but everyone we talk to said that $13 was not enough $ to retain hourly in the hubs and barely worth it in the extended centers for the work that's required. If they'd add insurance in 90 days it's closer to being applicable but I think bumping the folks up to $15/hr that aren't at that wage yet would've helped slow the griping.
People gonna gripe no matter what.
If I agreed to come to work at a certain wage and then the contract got better for new hires down the road then I should be mature enough to say "it's about time" and be thankful.
Very few part time jobs come with free insurance and less than a few cover your whole family.

If all PTers had a progression like those that go FT does then no one would complain. If a FTer who put 10 years in and everyone who started after them all made less than them, because of the starting rate and raises without a progression that included top out, until this contract and suddenly a new hire is right behind them because the starting wage increased then it does suck. Make it a scaled progression where EVERYONE in the classification ends up at the same point and rises together or put a catch-up in there for the senior people to go along at, at least, the same rate the new rates go.
The 22.3 jobs from the existing contracts all the way back to 97 when Ron Carey started the two tier wage for full timers are all intact.
The part time pension of 65 dollars a year is unmatched in any job period.
So you are going for an accrued pension?
If your regional leaders cant get it into the supplement that is their issue.

I'll get much more that way, unless that stagnates for another contract.
Tighty whites and a white tank top, you?
Since I took two days off from here and you are calling me names, I would say no, I will not be answering your questions. next
Not a problemThanks for addressing our concerns.

I did wake up to a wet bed this morning.
They don't make those anymore. I have one of those Craftmatic adjustable beds. Its actually kinda nice what you are watching the TV. I have Cable as well.
Can"t a guy get a day off? Its not like I wasn't doing my day job. For people who want to rag on me so much and tell me "let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya" I sure do take some heat if I don't leave, but take a few days to attend to more important pressing matters. Typical members.
