The Union certainly tried and are still pushing those grievances and labor charges through the systems.
There is at least one case on the docket next week at the National Panel with more to follow or held in abeyance awaiting the outcome of those cases..
This time though, a new-old tool is being utilized, called "The Central Region Hammer".
Only problem is the central supplement only covers the central.

70,000 strong across the heartland, with the ability to strike over unresolved grievances.
How do you see the UPS network operating while it is sliced in half with the Central Region is on strike?

I see the union paying huge fines, damages. Huge public relations fiasco for the union.

Perfectly legal and contractual.
....and the fiasco is UPS' problem and our leverage.

If all 70,000 were to strike.....which I highly doubt would happen today.

Trouble is, this weasel move wasn't applied to those that cashed in during the first round.

The way they’re treating people I think it would be pretty successful. People are getting fed up.

Why wouldn't they?
They would get $1,000 a week and free TeamCare while on the street and would only be required to man the picket line from time to time.
Remember, the vast majority makes far less than $1,000 a week.
Might be harder to get them to come back.

1300 a week here ✊ we have a local strike fund as well.
How do they get past this?

Sounds like the company implementing it and taking it away at their leisure is also a violation.

And how long would that last? Like the $55 a week I was supposed to get in the 97 strike? Never saw a nickel of that and I did my time on the picket line. UPS has far deeper pockets and is apparent they don't care about losing business anymore.

Yea I guess I could see that. I just wonder if it would work or not. This isn't 1997 anymore.

I think it's definitely approved by the employees. At least one on this site.

Never saw the union work so hard to block senior seniority membership from bowing out with extra cash.

Probably because we’ve never seen the company do the things they’re doing now. Maybe that should give you a clue as to why this is raising red flags?

I would have thought that a guy who wants his pension fund left all the heck alone would understand what up to 30K extra unplanned monthly withdrawals could do.
Again, not really picking a side here, it's just nice to see the potential for some decisive action on the union's part.

Automation and a new business model won't be stopped. The older workers removing themselves might actually benefit younger workers. Layoffs hurt the lower seniority workers most.
