Voting Starts Next Week! How will you vote and why.

Wontmake9.5

My job is fun
I tried watching it but she seems so awkward standing and talking I couldn’t do it. It’s like she forgets to breath. Plus that left hand just kinda hanging there. She doesn’t seem confident how am I suppose to be confident in voting yes when she doesn’t seem confident even talking about it..

Weve got 4 pt timers here going into full time pkg car jobs and they haven't been here for more than 10 months.

Thats just the way it is sometimes. Been slingin’ ‘em for more then 30 years. Ive seen guys get promoted in less then a year, and Ive seen guys stuck for 9 years as PT. Depends on how your area is growing, how the economy is, and the age of your current FT work force.

Ive also seen the company refuse to promote people even though they need to.

Do you have an older FT work force? A lot of people retiring? We have a few retiring next year, but then probably six or seven years until the next wave of retirees. Had a guy go out last year on permanent disability, they still havent replaced him!

Hadn't seen the Matt video prior to this.

The glaring concession that I get from him is the issue of 22.4s taking work that would ordinarily be done on Monday by RPCDs. Matt brings up at 7:50 "when work is available" and says "I don't know what that is supposed to mean." EXACTLY!! That is the problem. It is not clearly defined and will be exploited. Fix it, don't just say "whatever" and move on. Then it gets worse IMO. He says the NorCal supplement addresses this by allowing a RPCD to displace 2 part timers at drivers rate should they not have work on Monday. Or....they can bump into Saturday. Well, now aren't we back to where we started, RPCDs driving on weekends? That was what 22.4 was supposed to eliminate, right? So now we have RPCDs working weekends, and we allowed a 2nd class driver position in at $6 less. That is nothing but a concession! The other option, bump 2 part timers...now you've turned my full time driving job into a quasi-part-time/full-time position in order to give my work to what was previously a part timer? What the hell is that?

His continuous use of the phrase "I don't have a problem with that" just plain bothers me. He is saying plain and simple, this particular issue doesn't really affect me, so not my problem.

Oh, and Matt's parting note, UPS always has, and always will harrass you. We're not even going to bother trying to fix that. SMH!
What about the part where he says “grow some”? That guy MaTT is a joke.

One of the big problems for 22.4s, if this :censored2: contract passed, is if they are in a center with a young full time work force, it could be many years until someone retires that they could replace.
It's that way now. I have seen some get a bid in six months and some six years depending on the circumstances

She never addresses the elephant in the room, “if work is available” on Monday/Tuesday. I would imagine you could get 10-20% of people to change their vote to yes if you just removed that language and guaranteed M-friend 8hrs a day in the Master.

You’d still have enough of the go home crowd that you do now.

Nowhere did Tyler claim he wanted a 401k over a pension. Very few (if any) drivers want to work 70 hour weeks even if they can "pay for Christmas in one day."

This video is a :censored2:ing joke. I'll trust the rank and file over Rick H's paid hack any day of the :censored2:ing week.
How many drivers would work 70 hrs a week?during peak the hours go up but that is for a few weeks after all that is what we do provide a service during our Christmas rush
