We are inundated with vote yes propaganda from UPS and the Teamsters.
We keep hearing about the UPS COSTS of certain asoects of this CBA.
For example....how much part time benefits after 9 months will cost UPS, etc.
What we ARE NOT privy to is how many millions of $ this concessionsry deal will save UPS over 5 years.
Somehow the savings of reduced or eliminated RPCD overtime, cutting routes on Mondays and Tuesdays, having 25% or more of the FT driver workforce working for $6 to $16 less an hour, cost savings of retaining a higher number of PT employees, etc. are not addressed.
The Hoffacers, UPS, and UPS shareholders are all privy to what these projected savings are. Wall Street insiders love the proposed garbage CBA.
Dividends, Share price, Profits, and Stock bonus for mgmt will all continue to increase while 22.4s and RPCDs subsidise this POS CBA.
Perhaps someone can crunch the numbers. Say, for example, UPS cuts approximately $20,000 of OT per year per RPCD: What would the $ savings be over the 5 years?
It's a bad deal with PISS POOR language and too many unanswered questions and loopholes affecting major issues in working conditions and wages.
VOTE NO. Send them back to the table. Make certain that they actually start bargaining in good faith and fullfilling their duty of fair representation.
