[QUOTE="bigd, post: 1162088, member: 42563"] Bigd, 6045 or whoever you really are, consider having someone read the language TO you as you obviously can't read or understand what is written. If UPS granted 30% vacations weeks in the summer how would that be a problem? So you'd rather be forced off in February (all that's left) than July? Existing language in place now allows 10% MINIMUM, which means they can increase to any % including 30%. Do they allow 30% ever? In locations that allow [B]17[/B]% off in summer, UPS historically keeps it at the minimum. Then they hire "seasonals" at $16.10 to cover. Your guys negotiated $21.00 for [B]existing[/B] pt Teamsters, better than anywhere else and you tell members it's bad. Whack job.[/QUOTE Currently the language states "10% maximum" clearly you don't know what you are talking about! Yes other local have more than 10% why? Because they have seasonal or VCDs, local804 will never go for that! Other locals in PA have implemented two round vacation picks. Here is an idea from that website; Vacation picks should be done in two rounds; a). First round - the entire calendar year will be open, starting in seniority order everyone would be allowed to pick one week of vacation with a maximum of 3% to 4% per week of the available 10%. b). Second round - the remaining 7% to 6% of the available 10% will be done top to bottom in seniority order. We as brother and sister can do this I don't understand why we have to put the company in the middle! Now go tell Tim that you came up with that idea. [/QUOTE]
