Just like you, our contract was forced on us. The majority who voted, including me, voted NO. It is complete BS and we should have walked late last year when we had the power. All of us who voted no were sold out-by our own union!
So now what? Well... The biggest wage increase is going to those in progression or PT workers. It has been going on 7 damn months. With really no end in sight. Is it a hold out that's left or is it once again local unions not having their smile* together to hold a vote and move on.
Hoffa and Hall will be gone next contract and we shall finally get some new blood in our Union leadership. But this contract is done. Get over it, move on, and see what the changes we sold out to get implemented so we can gear up for a real contract in 2023.
Sir, Local 804 just changed leadership. They are still working on their contract language with the new eboard. Have some patience.
Maybe we can respect their autonomy even if we have to wait a little longer to get the raises, the 22-4 concession, the surepost concession that will cut routes when used, and while the cba is stalled maybe part timers are getting the chance to bid a much bigger raise by becoming a full time package car driver.
A Regular one not an Irregular one with all the concessions that go with it.
The rest is money in the bank as far as raises and the lost interest isnt worth crying about imo.
If it was a good contract from the start it would already be unilaterally applied.
Good for the holdouts. At least they had the extra 6% vote it down that the rest of us didnt get.
PS/ 22-3 jobs are available until 22-4s are implemented. That's a good thing.
