I thought the contract ended July 1?
No, the contract expires August 1st, but the union told the company to get them an offer by July 1st.
It looks like that offer wasn't good enough, although I expect that there will still be negotiations of some sort throughout July. It's just that the Teamsters expect that they'll have to go on strike.
Yeah, time's running out on being able to review the contract and have the members vote on it.
Just do it Hoffa Jr. Style. Shove a contract into their hands and say "vote yes"
Yeah, no thanks. I don't want another dogshit contract rammed through because of some technicality that lets them ignore the majority voting no.
Tbc I was joking.
That’s weird. Feels like a hollow threat. “If you don’t get us a good offer by July 1 we’re going on strike (unless you get us a good offer by August 1)”
The contract needs to be reviewed by the negotiating committee to give the membership a recommendation on whether to vote yes or no. Then the contract and ballots are sent out to all union members. I've heard there's a two-week voting period so accounting for review, sending out ballots, the voting period, sending in ballots, and counting leaves very little time for the company.
Yeah. So if they give a good offer a couple days before the strike, then great, the Teamsters will only have to strike for 12 days.
Yep, thanks for the time off bozos
Ah yes, that all makes sense. I hadn’t really thought about the time that all takes. Thank you!
