[QUOTE="ScottP, post: 259168, member: 12481"] This is a ridiculously easy vote for anyone. It is a simple case of the union trying to save itself and the company taking advantage. UPS will save billions down the road by letting them out of the Central States fund. The union is happy to be let off financially and the company still saves billions and we the people who make everything happen are left in the cold. We need stronger language to protect the ones of us who still have time left to serve. The only people I have talked to who have shown any interest in this garbage contract are the ones looking to take advantage of the 30 and out immediately. I can't blame them but that clause is not going anywhere. We should demand more and better. UPS is trying to eliminate the part time worker as we know it. Their goal is to turn part time employment into something staffed by a temp service with no benefits and set pay. Part time drivers are to be implemented with this new contract. This will make the utility drive a thing of the past. You will have part time drivers making $16.10 an hour with no chance of gaining full time. Split raises are unacceptable. This is a [B]4 BILLION[/B] a year [B]profit [/B]company! We owe them nothing! They are not doing us a favor. Those of us who give an honest days work for an honest days pay deserve better. Please spread the word to all of our younger members at your hubs and centers. WE MUST VOTE THIS CONTRACT DOWN! [/QUOTE]
