[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 5659814, member: 12570"] Everyone would continue working and those in the 5 defeated supplements would continue to work under the terms of their current supplements until the new ones have been ratified. $2.75/hr on 8/1/23 and $4.75/hr spread out over the last 4 years, with COLA added if applicable. Congratulations! This is far more generous that I ever imagined. MLK added as a holiday (I would have preferred an additional optional day). The creation of 7,500 FT jobs and the fulfillment of 22,500 open positions (?) over the life of the contract. PTers bumped to $21/hr to start with GWI raises. No more forced OT and the seniority based option of M-friend or T-S. AC in new PCs purchased and put in to service on or after 1/1/24. On the downside, it does not appear that 9.5 was addressed. It was suggested above that the payroll system be tweaked to add automatic penalty for anyone who works over 9.5----while this is probably not going to happen, something needs to be done to reduce dispatch and to add some teeth to the 9.5 grievance process, to include penalties for grievances not resolved and/or paid in a timely manner. This is why it was crucial to continue making pickups and to NOT advise your larger accounts to move their volume to a competitor, even on a short term basis as they most likely would not have come back. The key now is to make sure everyone votes. It couldn't be easier----everything is mailed to the address that the union has on file. Open outer envelope, mark ballot, reassemble as directed, drop in mailbox. Shop stewards and senior drivers need to get the word out to everyone in their buildings to VOTE. Come in a bit early and get with the PTers to make sure that they vote. [/QUOTE]
