too bad that so many just post bs but nobody reads the links that have been out for weeks before the vote.
The 4 hr cartage deal seems to be causing wide spread confusion and needs to explained by a BA without going to u-tube.. to not only terminal managers but the paranoid rank and file..10% of the list max with a minimum of two: guaranteed 8 hrs if work past 6 hours at the current rate with benefits if hours worked. Company cannot layoff to achieve this
so, Teamster members would get a $1.75 pension contribution. The new concessions would include:
* Road drivers drop and hook at end-of-line terminals, even when yard crews are on duty.
* A new classification of 4-hour cartage part-timers would be created, up to 10% of the seniority list with a minimum of two.
* Teamsters with four or more weeks vacation give up one week per year.
* Coffee breaks cut from 15 to 10 minutes, in states where legal.
* Road casuals allowed everywhere, including the Central Region.
* Lunch breaks 30 or 60 minutes, at the company’s discretion on a daily basis.
* Sunday through Saturday flex work week, in all areas.
* And some other work rule changes affecting certain locals.
The 15% wage concession would continue for 4.5 years, with annual increases of 40c-45c-40c-40c, minus the 15%. Health and welfare continue as at present, with annual bumps of 35c to keep it funded.
