Tentative agreement

[Chester]

Let's do the math...
$6 per hour less than regular driver rate (or long term part timer OT rate)
If they work them 50 hrs a week x 52 weeks= $17,160 savings per year.
If they put on 20,000 Hybrids...
$343,200,000 savings per year. 5 year deal...
$1.7 Billion savings.

Of course the savings will be far more than that since they will work the Hybrids for straight time on days that we would get Holiday pay or double time. And this is using top rate of $30 per hour which the hybrids wont see right away vs OT for top rate drivers...

For that concession, we should accept less than inflation raises?

15,000 new FT jobs is all union cares about

Don't kid yourself. All the union cares about is the extra union dues money they will be making off the PT raises and the newly made 22.4s.

Good lord that's even worse than I imagined.


If nothing else I'm pissed at the IBT for not calling it what it is. They just agreed to a two tiered driver pay scale.


50%!!!!!!!!

I'm livid.

 

[Brownslave688]

No. Sorry I should have said that. If you read the top it's the companies proposal.

Damn it you got me. Lol


This is a tentative agreement thread not for old news. Lol

Does it give the option for those who want 10 or 11 hours of OT to still get it???

That reminds me of the poor guy I work with in the PSC. When he first started working his FT job, he told me his hours goal was to get to 10 hours a day to get that juicy 50 hour paycheck. He couldn't always hit it, but he enjoyed the nice OT when he did.

Now it's a good day if he gets out before 11 hours.

Lol sorry. Everyone kept throwing out info that they heard. I thought I'd give everyone a better starting point.

Don't kid yourself. All the union cares about is the extra union dues money they will be making off the PT raises and the newly made 22.4s.

And pension monies to cover their asses in places that they've dropped the ball.


The pension mess is very real in many parts of the country and the more that go downhill the more pressure that's gonna be put on IBT leaders.


This won't create for ft jobs company wide I promise. They'll just shuffle stuff around like they always do.

 

[Shift 2]

But you know the company would abuse it. They would advance all kinds of work to be delivered on the weekends.


Guess what's next?
22.4 feeder jobs.

If they actually did that I would take it I’d feel like a complete ass about it but I’m broke so what ever pays my bills the easiest way is where I want to be

 

[Brownslave688]

I know but some places dont have that volume

I bet it magically shows up when they have a guy being paid $15 an hour to deliver it.

Also it's probably a safe bet that the actual language will not be that big of a difference knowing how our union negotiates.

It’s not set In stone yet....

 

[Brownslave688]

We have a weak union at the national level.... our local union is the sht.... and I know other locals are the same way... Hoffa needs to go

I'm interested to see. I think we may see a lot of locals recommend a no vote on this one.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

the point is a good idea

Yes

Maybe not publicly.

 

[Brownslave688]

Cant the union put language in to prevent that?

How's all that language work out for everything else?

We get 3/4 of the surepost volume back??? What are we getting for this hybrid language???
