Here is what TDU is reporting the company put forward for a PROPOSAL, this according to TDU has NOT been agreed to by the IBT.
Reports indicate that YRC’s proposals include these:
1.Continued annual wage increases in 2015 and beyond, but with no increase in 2014.
2.Overtime pay after 40 hours per week, instead of after 8 hours.
3.Change H&W language so that a partial week of work will not pay for a full week of H&W coverage.
4.Work rule changes, including outsourcing some maintenance and use of outside contractors for certain road work.
There has been a lot of misleading information posted on here over the last few days with these and some other proposals coming from so called 'reliable sources' being what we will be voting on, which is not true at this time. This is a proposal, and not a 'tentative agreement'. I'm sure the company would love to get all these things. What the final agreement will be might be a lot different.
In my opinion the IBT will never go for overtime after 40 instead of 8. I could see them giving up the H&W language that requires you to work 40 hours to get 40 paid in, it's 3 days in the city and 1 trip on the road now. I think the IBT should propose giving us increases every year of the agreement to get us back to the full rate, as they did with the ABF contract instead of wage increases, we would make out better, and we would be more in line with them at the end of the agreement.
