Evidently Overnite, now known as UPS Freight always had a rocky relationship with the union. The only reason they’re teamsters is because it was all part of the Central States Pension buyout.
I remember when we bought them, there was lots of chatter of Overnite and Motor Cargo drivers wanting nothing to do with the teamsters.

The contract is transferred with the sale. In 2023 the new company will have to bargain in good faith with the teamsters.

Then they would have to decertify correct?

Yes, definitely a lengthy process but there’s definitely an angle to work if the new management has an eye on getting rid of the union.

Absolutely. I'm just saying they can't just drop the Teamsters.

I hope they will negotiate with the Teamsters... I believe that Canada would be more union friendly than the states..
No, we will be called trans force from my understanding.

The certified bargaining unit will still be in place after the contract expires and the new owner will be legally obligated to negotiate with the union. Whether they take a hardline stance in negotiations or attempt to break the union remains to be seen

Do you really think that is a fair assessment, in hindsight, as to how the last contract negotiations and vote(s) went down for our brothers and sisters at UPS Freight???
....I don't.

Lol, Hoffa? If it screws union jobs he will side with the deal. Later on, he will write a letter blaming someone else.

They were sold down the tubes by our current teamster leadership in both contracts .. I do not blame them, we got the same treatment.. face it...We have a “cut and run” Union, “no man left behind” belongs to the Marines..
Please produce any evidence on the contrary, after the “97” strike... our leadership since Carey has produced apathy among our members. Maybe a change in 2021, we will see...

Yes that's true but then that's pretty much a strike and the teamsters are still their union unless they decertify.

Maybe Freight wouldn't have lost so much money if we weren't delivering all their stuff.

WOW. but not really. The current Teamster leadership at the national level is and has been garbage. They are real pieces of work. I hope we as hourlys are all missing something. Hopefully BUG has the inside scoop. Maybe UPS fully funded the UPSF pensions for the next 10-15 years.
Maybe UPS and the Teamsters sold UPSF down the road to secure a 40 hour work week for all RPCDs? Maybe UPS and the IBT agreed to delete the provision in the CBA that states more Saturday 22.4s can be added if needed.......while not addressing laid off Monday RPCDs?
How in the heck could the Teamsters have a Bundles(parcel) semi driver making ~$38+ an hour and a UPSF driver doing basically the same job for ~$33 an hour?
Horrible.
Hopefully, the Hoffa regime is voted out. Hopefully the IBT constitution is amended or changed.
I understand that UPSF and UPS are not under the same CBA.
They are/were under the same company controlled union.
Not surprised by this news in the least.
