I don't expect any details made public until the contract is presented to the members at your local hall.

I can not wait on the outcome. I am going to get a Lotto ticket, just in case...

Wording like this worries me that it could turn out like UPSF.

{This is an excellent agreement,” said Johnson, Director of the Teamsters National Freight Division and lead negotiator for the union. “It provides good wage increases and protects members’ jobs and their health, welfare and pension benefits. It also allows the unionized freight companies to better compete with the non-union companies and gives the unionized companies opportunities to grow business in new areas.”}

I think he wrote that comment down on paper and said, you know what Jimmy this is a damn good statement. I think I will say this is an excellent agreement all the time. I think it is good for the union worker, but I can feel my pocket getting fatter along with yours Mr. Jimmy Hoffa Jr. :smilie_132:

 

[truckinus]

I was thinking, "This is an excellent agreement"... for the company!

How do you know if it's good or bad? Dang at least wait until you KNOW what it says before you start griping about it.

Tyson's famous last words!

Maybe it's a little too early to start complaining, but past experience tells us that we should be grabbing our ankles and bending over when Hoffa and Johnson think it's a great deal!

Well, I "heard" that it was $1.00 per year on benefits and $2.55 per hour over the five year period.....remember....that is just what I "heard."......KK
