UPS and Teamsters to resume contract negotiations next week

[cynz]

We LOST payroll years ago. Now OMS clerks are being outsourced. Our TSG is now outsourced. I heard they will replace dispatch with AI and have a few parttime dispatchers instead of fulltime. They have closed all small-town customer service in our state. They are going to close the non-union customer service in our larger hubs in a year.
Our CEO bragged about outsourcing our HR with AI, even though our HR was a joke. They have been replacing on road sups with part time on road sups.
I guess her new motto better not bigger is directed to management personnel.

Drivers got 9.5 pay and inside workers got temporary raises during the summer peak.

I smell a pt sup

Maybe in time, they still cant get the new software to assign trailers to the right bays. Had some instances where they sit for a half hour instead of getting on the unload door. Then its a mad scramble to to locate it. Could see dispatch and yard assignment get combined. Then certain responsibilities get shoved off on the hourly yard mules.

Give me a 21-23 starting pay for part timers and I'll vote yes. from 16-21 or 23 that's a big jump in pay.

Why have we not heard this from Sean himself?
Seems he would want us to know....

Nothing is done yet, not a lot to report on

you do know the 9.5 list is there so we DON'T get abused with excessive overtime right? In reality drivers got abused and UPS had to pay temp raises just to get people in the door.

The company is already paying that much. They can do better.

 

[TSB]

Maybe the company wants to sew this up before the earnings report comes out.

 

[Coldworld]

Good. I don't care who reached out first. Just get it done.

Uncertainty for the customers??? Think we’re way beyond that….

 

[margaritaville]

Is this what will happen August 1st when Carol roles up with her boston dynamic robots vs the teamsters?

100%. Can’t cry nothing to give and then roll out huge earnings and increase dividends.

 

[DOK]

Why next week and not tomorrow??? Sounds like UPS is about to give a take it or leave it LBFO that will be insulting and not give OBrien much time to think it over. I really hope he tells UPS to stick it and order the strike if this is the case.

Teamsters have prior obligations of practice picketing and rally’s outside of various hubs through the end of the weekend, no time for negotiations until next week.

Also, if they are as close as both sides say they are, how long is it going to take. Company knows where the union stands and must be willing to get there or at least close enough to resume talks.

UPS had 10 days to crunch numbers and figure out where else to cut to pay for whatever they are coming back to the table with. SOB said if a TA is in place we’ll keep working while the voting process takes place.

Not really surprised other than UPS allowing it to drag on to get this close. Shippers can’t be thrilled and at some point it’s going to catch up to them.
