Unified pensions

[PT Car Washer]

Why did the Union collect dues from temporary peak workers knowing full well they aren't going to be kept on after Christmas.

At my building you had to be really horrible not to be kept on PT after Peak.

I can't recall any peak temp ever being kept on in 30 years I worked. In fact about a quarter of the regular full time was always laid off for anywhere from a week or 2 to a month or two after Christmas. You must have quite the turnover at your building.

That's how I got hired. Never was laid off for more than a couple days in the first few months. Things change...

My building does not hire temporary Peak help. Only permanent PT year long. Driver lay offs have started this week though.

No extra Christmas help?---I find that hard to believe.

No temps here either. But considering the average turn over for pt here is nearly 100% over a years time...How permanent are 99% of them?

What I am saying is that UPS can not fully staff the sorts most of the year let alone at Peak. Not enough stupid people who need to work that hard for $10/hr and no benefits.

Now Roadway-Yellow is In negotiation for a buyout by UPS. Yellow has been giving concessions for years yet the Teamster leadership says getting their fund is good...BS...NO MORE ORPHANS! See what it is, drivers on the cheap when we strike and are replaced. Overnight and Yellow all over our trucks and runs while we cry about our paltry $36-$37 and hour on the picket line. BUT $250 a week in strike benefits! How do I do a closed fist raising in the air in solidarity image? Yeah....Screw them!! We're taking back our union and are going to show management we mean it! What's it?

All pensions to be combined into a jointly managed unified TeamPen retirement plan covering all 50 states and requiring a minimum 35yrs service and age 62 for full $2250 a month benefits. Benefit reduction from full amount for each year under 35 years. It's what's "fair".
