Here's information on what having a Union and a Contract can do for US........................ THIS IS PART OF THE UPS CONTRACT--ARTICLE 6: No employee will be discharged based solely on information received from GPS or any successor system unless the person intentionally defrauds the company. This is a change – last contract the company was prohibited from discharging anyone on a first offense based on GPS. Now it is a prohibition against discharge regardless of whether it is a first offense or not, except in cases of intentional fraud. The company must confirm information obtained from GPS by direct observation or other corroborating evidence. Otherwise, the GPS information will not be used for discharge. In addition, the language was strengthened to define dishonesty as an intentional act to defraud the company. The company admitted fault in misusing technology in the past and committed to meet with the union at the union’s request if the problem continues or arises again in the future to make sure that the issue is addressed at the first.
PENSION INFORMATION---------Pension For full-time employees in the UPS/IBT pension plan, the following enhancements will be implemented: Effective 1/1/2014: • After 35 years and any age, retirement benefits will be $3,700 per month (up from $3,500) • 30 or more years and any age will increase to $3,200 per month plus $100/yr of service up to $3700 (up from $3,000) Effective 1/1/2017: • 35 years, any age will be $3,900 per month • 30 years at any age will be $3,400 per month plus $100/yr of service up to $3,900. Pension – part-time For people in the UPS part-time pension plan, retirement benefits any age after 35 years of service will increase to $2,100 per month (up from $1,925)------THIS WOULD BE GREAT AFTER WE RETIRE RIGHT?
• After 30 years of service at any age will increase to $1,800 per month (up from $1,650) • After 25 years at 60 years of age increases to $1,500 per month (up from $1,375) • Retirement at any age with 25 years of service increases to $1,250 per month (up from $1,125) Part-timers in the UPS plan will now need to work only 375 hours a year in order to become a participant in the plan. A part-timer must work 750 hours a year in order to receive full vesting credit, but a part-timer will become a participant in the plan after reaching age 21 and completing a 12 month period during which they work 375 hours. 22.3 JOBS, ARTICLE 22 • Provides for an additional 2,350 full-time jobs during the first three years of the contract. • Protects the current 22.3 jobs. Long Term Disability Long term disability benefits will increase. The $600 cap will increase to $700 on January 1, 2014 and to $800 on January 1, 2017.
So this information is from the Ups contract.So if you have a Union to back you up,You guys can also make a contract to make a better living,have a pension,and be protected from bull shit that can get you DISMISSED.
The new pact increases pay by 50 cents per hour each year over its term, which ends July 31, 2018. That would make the UPS Freight workers "the highest paid in the (less than truckload/LTL) industry," a Teamsters fact sheet says. The proposed pact would also cover UPS Freight's clerks, joining the truckers and loading-dock workers.
And while UPS Freight gets to change health insurers, the union says that workers in the firm's "buy-up" health plan will see premiums decline by 10 percent, and those now in the free health plan will see it stay free. The pact cuts retiree health insurance premium costs, too, the union fact sheet says.
And the 10 percent of the UPS Freight workers who had no minimum weekly guarantee of work hours now get a 4-hour guarantee, the pact itself adds.
The pact also has stronger seniority provisions. A new section says any driver awaiting company discipline for an accident will be shifted to loading dock work - at the dock workers' pay rate - until the discipline case is decided, within 20 days.
The contract mandates union participation and representation of workers at discipline hearings, the Weingarten rule that the NLRB produced years ago. It also says the only way a shop steward or other union rep cannot come to the discipline hearing is if the worker facing the hearing waives his or her right to union representation having the union rep, in writing. And it requires UPS Freight to make sure the trucks are safe before drivers take them out on the road. If the driver feels the truck is unsafe, the driver can refuse to drive it - and the contract bars the firm from disciplining the driver for the refusal.
The union said the pact curbs UPS Freight's ability to subcontract unit work. A new provision says any full-time driver cut back to part-time hours shall get the full-time pay rate, not the "casual" rate. Union Secretary-Treasurer Ken Hall warned at the start of bargaining there would be no contract unless UPS Freight addressed subcontracting.
"UPS and UPS Freight Teamsters are the best in the world. They are productive and dedicated. They deserve the best pay and benefits in the industry," Teamsters President James Hoffa told the firm when talks started months ago...........THIS ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU HAVE A CONTRACT AND NOT LET THE GREEDY THIEVES TELL YOU WHAT YOUR GOIN TO GET.
