More like desperate, haven’t spoken to one person that’s voting yes.
Same here.i could hold my nose and vote for it if the 22.4 drivers had the same protections as we do.

cap'n crunch
Several contracts ago, there was something that was a real sticking point, but my feeble mind does not allow me to remember the particulars. Every, and I mean every feeder driver and package car drivers that I talked to all told me they were going to vote no. The contract passed easily. Methinks the powers that be could make the outcome any way they see fit, damn the membership wishes.

We have already approved the strike vote. It is a good negotiating tool, but it also means if we vote down the contract, we will go on strike. We do not “go back to the table”, we strike. Of course negotiations will resume as soon as we strike. If you have not been through a strike before, you need to be prepared to be out of work for about 3 weeks. That’s how long it was last time. In my local, we will be without medical insurance. If I need coverage, I can purchase Cobra insurance retroactively. My point is, if the contract does not pass, a strike has financial consequences. Be prepared.
Wrong, wrong and wrong.

We did not strike or loose volume last contract because the NMA passe. For the record there is no guarantee you are right.

Did you just make this up?
Let me tell you something. They way I vote has not one Damn thing to do with anything that anyone tells me how to vote. If they want more yes votes, give the 22.4 jobs the same rights that we fought hard to obtain.
It won't cost the company any money to add one more line into the contract.
UPS unveils $1 billion cost-cutting “transformation plan”
As Teamsters pushes for “yes” vote on concessions contract
"Remarkably, the response on Wall Street to UPS’ cost-cutting plans has been one of dissatisfaction. Investors sent UPS’s share price down by 2.9 percent the day after the announcement. Kevin Sterling, an analyst at Seaport Global Holdings, told Bloomberg that shareholders had expected a cost-cutting target of at least $1.5 billion per year or more.
Such demands make clear that UPS workers confront not merely a single corporate executive or even a single company, but the demands of the banks and financial institutions on Wall Street that every gain won by workers through struggle over the past century be turned back to fuel ever-greater profits and the continued inflation of US stock market prices."

Don’t tell people there is no way we strike. You don’t know that answer. She gave you scenarios that could happen. If you don’t want to listen thats on you.

What does it matter? There won’t be enough votes anyway and the IBT will pass it.
We won't. It's too expensive of a chess match.
