Just got this in an email

The International Constitution does not give the NNC an option in these circumstances. As required by law, the NNC informed UPS of the ratification requirements at the beginning of negotiations. This provision has been in the Constitution since the 1991 Convention. If a majority of the eligible members had exercised their right to vote in this ratification, as did the members employed by UPS Freight, then a simple majority of those voting would have been needed to either accept or reject the agreement. But not enough members covered by the National Master UPS Agreement exercised their right to vote. And as we saw in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, winning the popular vote does not necessarily win the election when the Constitution requires you to win the Electoral College vote. As Teamsters, we too must abide by the rules in our Constitution. Thus, the National Master UPS Agreement has been ratified.

And yet another union s over the people who pay them

My guess is they will cut hours rather than load us up
1. They need to pass the supplements, and need us happy
2. They want us poor in the unlikely event we have a work stoppage, also it makes people want the back pay.
3. They will want us happy and passive if the master is imposed.
4. Peak is coming, they need cooperation from workers working without a contract.

I guess your GIFs just weren't high quality enough

I don’t think we could do gifs in 2014?

Maybe who knows. My gif game is weak though.

I learned to never think we will ever be prepared for peak and that’s no one on this boards fault.

Every peak seems to be the first peak ever in our building .. sometimes I think it’s lack of communication. This day in age with all the scanning and tracking of packages that they should know exactly what the volume will be for the next day. But with the advancement of loads and possibly feeder dept not notifiying operations is why a lot of peak problems occur. Who knows. Just my thought

Were screwed

Pretty crappy. NExt paragraph says this tho -

The Committee fully intends to demand that UPS return to the bargaining table to address a number of member concerns with the National Master UPS Agreement. We will keep you informed. However, based on the results announced this evening, the National Master UPS Agreement has been ratified. Additionally, regional and local supplements and riders were tallied and the National Negotiating Committee will follow up with those committees to move forward.


So there is hope they do the right thing.

The rail keeps our service slow and our drivers paid.

Same as the competition - that’s laughable. We are twice their size burdened with low RPP packages with the higher cost structure.

If we’re measuring ups penises here I’ll admit you probably use excel more than me.

Our drivers would be paid a hell of a lot more should that work be taken off the rail. I see the costs, I see what putting more sleeper teams on does to us, it's expensive as hell.

Our revenue per piece is comparable to the competition with that higher cost structure because we have a union. But we also demand a hell of a lot more out of our drivers in return. You show me one service that the competition has that isn't identical to what we have and I'll back off.

I don't need to measure my weiner against anyone. My wife enjoys it and that's good enough for me.

I listened to the call. Taylor sounded so mad and defeated. Didn't have the guts to say what they jus sent in the email.

How long have you been a part time Sup?

 

[Turdferguson]

You're the exception. I would never not battle you. EVEN IF THERE WAS A FIRE.

Good
Thought you were getting emotional soft

 

[FrigidFTSup]

Shhh here’s a secret. No one likes cutting routes.

Boy you're way off here. I may be a hub planner and not a package one, but I can hear the package planner giggling in his cubicle when routes get cut. Gives him job security.

 

[Ecw21411]

Because those customers pay your absurdly high salaries?

Lol they pay your high salary to!

 

[Hroller]

They ain't forcin' nothin' thru.
Why would you even think that?
I mean REALLY? Just give me your reason.

Just fat like you.

Haha. True. And that’s where I said everyone (being in management)has to answer to someone and do as thier told by the big guy smoking a cigar ,sitting in a big leather chair,reading the Wall Street journal. Comes in

That’s my boy .... end of story

He seems like a good dude - just misguided on what BD really does here. I’m not managaing a “patch of land” which was the stupidest thing we ever came up with.

He let’s take our new sales people and give them 3000 accounts! Genius strategy to keep people around. Thank god that’s changing. Yay transformation.
