The masses of drivers would probably be happy if he doesn't last long. He's already been to panel a bunch of times due to clashes with drivers.
Anyhow, it seems a ton of routes are underdispatched. They come in under 8 hours and then have to argue about being code 5 or going back out to help to complete 8 hours.

Only a loser union would even begin to talk about STARTING pay for either FT or PT. That is a complete waste of negotiating capital.
The still record demand for hiring is already taking care of starting pay. UPS was forced to raise these rates without union input. Why begin to waste bargain power when UPS will be forced to keep addressing this issue themselves. The union can claim it is doing UPS a favor and not even negotiate this issue knowing the company will have to raise wages or get practically no one.
Instead focus negotiations on EXISTING PT and FT wages. Either through wage increases or decreased progression timing until top rates are achieved.

Decreased progression timing...I like that. 3 year progression. 23, 29, 42 or something if the like.

So True..They have been paying over the contractual starting rate since the pandemic started just to get bodies. An increase in the starting rate is a given more so for the our starting full time positions.
GWI will probably start out at a dollar with COLA still in place and go up 50 cents more annually.
Health and Welfare contributions might remain the same depending on how the Health Market raises their rates. generally those are raised 20 dollars a week or .50 per hour for a straight 40 hour workweek..Overtime not included.
Pensions will change..that is the real battle..expect the Company to eliminate the Part Time Pension benefit in the Central and Southern and replace it with the portable matched 401K..that might sell. Those Teamsters under a Monetary Contribution plan like the West will continue to accrue benefits, they have to be close to 100 % vested even with the downturn of our stock markets, bonds and annuities. That bail out of primarily the Central States Fund was heavily lobbied by the Company and Union, it looks like that is a done deal. What kind of strings are attached we will see, but definitely the Feds will be overseeing the running of these underfunded pension trusts.
Really the only way that the Company can decrease operating costs is with the Pension contributions, maybe reduce the raises with their monetary contributions for those plans that are doing well. All three the GWI, Health and Welfare and Pension are interchangeable, so any monetary contributions can be transferred annually to either one. The past formula for hourly increases has been pretty much the same for the most part..80 cents to a dollar for (GWI)...50 cents for (Health and Welfare)...and another 50 cents toward (Pension Contributions).
Where these Pension Contributions are being distributed is another issue considering we have members that haven't had pension increases for decades?

The biggest and most important negotiating item HAS to be polished aluminum wheels and flames on all the tractors. No question.

Man i think we have 30-35 bid routes and our start time is 920. Late air or preload behind and we are leaving after 940 or later easy.

no pvds, make driver helper work the same way as double shifting includin wages, posted PT sheets for transferring shift and area positions. expand break to 15 minutes instead of 10. Shall not discipline for theft of time if employee is concerned about their health or safety or is otherwise feeling unwell. PT air drivers may abandon their position and reapply in 1 year.
PT to FT earn 3/4 vacation weeks instead of 1/2. Union is allowed to independently review the facts behind a disqualified driver. Union may sponser 1 in every 15 qualifying drivers (more specific stuff here) to help promote inside employees. earned vacation weeks can be selected last when qualified instead of paid out.
FT may abandon back to PT, they must complete a second progression wage series when going back to FT.

Is this real?
Can we trade?
Why is that such a big deal? If you're doing your job correctly, I can't see it being bad. I would prefer it for security, Ie robbed or attacked.
What are you talking about
Those are all very legitimate concerns that @FozziesDeliveries brought up.

I should specify Driver Facing cameras. I have seen alot of people talking about what all i listed and saw alot of those items included on the survey in the teamster ap. I can without a doubt see the company abusing cameras like crazy. "You were scratching your face then got in a wreck, distracted driving! You stood for a couple seconds before opening the bulk head door, you were stealing time!" Yes if you are doing everything you should you should theoretically be fine, but it just seems like another easy avenue for more harassment and abuse. No thank you.
