That along with putting into your 401 can turn out quite nicely...We pay around $52/m here in local 776 dues wise unless my figures are off.
As far as health insurance for the premium stuff I pay around $33/w.
Top rate and all that stuff can be found inside the contract shouldn't be too hard to find. Only down side and it's small in my opinion is that there is no employer match for 401k but considering we get a pension of $105/m for every yr of service with no cap use to have a 30 yr cap on the old formula.
Retiree insurance really bits. You need to wake up to that part of the contract....We are working hard to organize FedEx Freight and this information will definitely help our case. It looks like you have two health insurance options available, one of which you pay for. Can you tell me how much you pay for this plan? Approximately how much are current union dues for a UPS Freight driver at top scale? Would you be willing to tell me what top scale (hourly/mileage) for single road drivers is? Do you ever receive bonuses? I ask for this information because FedEx Freight management, ala Jackson Lewis (union buster), is arguing that union dues are a waste of money. I would like to compare the cost of your union dues/health insurance to what we are paying for health insurance coverage that is FAR INFERIOR to yours. Your help would be greatly appreciated. -Future Brother
The retiree insurance will eat all that up. Really expensive...We pay around $52/m here in local 776 dues wise unless my figures are off.

They are tellingoing you dues are a waste of money Really? Dues pay for your protection, that is where some of the dues go to they pay the locals attorney to fight grievances. They also pay the bills just like anything else that are ran. The church pays it's bills from donations, the moose lodge or elks same thing from dues. The hunting club same thing. That's what dues are for so ask him if paying insurance is that a waste of money and time. LolWe are working hard to organize FedEx Freight and this information will definitely help our case.

There health insurance or any other benefit has nothing to do with dues.Retiree insurance really bits. You need to wake up to that part of the contract....

I have read the contract, but still have a few questions.. Is the start out pay of 17.20 As stated for 2013 the start out pay today. Same for the start out milage of 43cents?

I was referring to ups freight contract. Not abf.
Ask yourself this, if a company stood to gain on each contract why would they not embrace a union?Hello everyone. I work for XPO(xconway) I have one simple question. If someone could please answer it. I would appreciate it..
Did you guy's get what you voted for and Did you gain more for the next 4 year's??
Ok i know that's 2 questions..
I ask because XPO(XCONWAY) tell's their worker's. You don't have a say on what your going to get in the contract. The union does. Also you'll loose thing's on every contract..
Because the company is worried about the worker's spending their hard earned money and they don't want them to spend their money on a 3rd party when they can directly negotiate. And #2 the company really care's about it's worker's..Ask yourself this, if a company stood to gain on each contract why would they not embrace a union?
That is the current history with the teamsters. I would suggest that you guys leave the teamsters behind and find another union to represent you. NEMF has some branch of the Machinist's Union and if I was in your shoes I would dig into them.I ask because XPO(XCONWAY) tell's their worker's.
