Here is YRCW’s Plan B
January 21, 2014. 3:00 p.m. The Hoffa-Hall administration has revealed the tentative agreement with YRCW to extend the contract. The full tentative agreement is available here. We encourage members to review it and share it with co-workers.
A Summary of the Tentative Agreement is available here.
It is considerably changed from YRCW’s “wish list” which was overwhelmingly rejected by members. Reduced vacation pay has been modified, and delaying three-weeks of vacation until 11 years of seniority is out. The two-tiered wage increase is out (Non-CDL dock and office workers were denied any wage increases in the first proposal) and non-CDL new-hires will have a progression. The proposal to use Utility Employees is out.
The lump-sum bonus the first two years of the five-year extension is still in; but those on seasonal layoff will get the bonus. The use of purchased transportation has added protection for road work, but is still in.
The proposed contract extension will be voted by secret ballot this weekend – January 25-26 – at union meetings. We encourage all YRCW Teamsters to be there and cast a vote. The votes in each local will be counted immediately following the meeting. You can review the rules for the vote and counting ballots here.
We will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
