IMO there are problems with this TA but if the company and the Teamsters would have just fixed the vacation issue it would have passed.
The latest word is you start earning your vacation after your anniversary date which means most won't get it until late this year or next and that is BS.
Take this example. From 04/25/2011 to 04/25/2012 one week was "accrued". From 04/25/2012 to 04/25/2013 the second week was being "accrued" but due to the last contract "accrual" ended on 04/01/2013. So 25 days from a 2nd week.
If they would have let 04/01/2018 to 04/25/2018 add the 25 days to where the "accrual" ended and restore the week then I believe it would have passed, so not only did we lose a vacation we lost the "accrual" time we had built up.
Yes, that means within one year everyone would receive a weeks vacation. What is the cost of that? Let's see 8000 employees, roughly about $1000.00 a week for vacation so $8,000,000. We saved Arcbest $8,000,000 a year for 5 years on vacation ALONE.
I doubt if Judy or Ernie will ever read this but when this fails this will be the reason. How long with ABFs doors closed does it take to lose $8,000,000?
