I've said it here before, UPS is following the exact same plays that they did with our mechanics.

The exact same. If you're not friends with a mechanic, become one. They will tell you how our contract negoiation will go during the next 4 years.

This RDG/VL part 2 serves two purposes for UPS:

1) They're trying to make us loses our faith in our EB.

2) They're trying to break our solidarity policy of no OT, no JA.

Watch how some senior guys will suggest some modification to this solidarity policy. Maybe for our junior guys. Of course, they're itching to hit the trough too.

FWIW
