Default UPS Contract is signed

Don't I wish. Now that I've gotten your attention what the hell is going on. The suspense is killing me. Any rumors? Are they even meeting? When will the NMB schedule more talks?

Linda P. will probably call us back in in a few months. Both sides have moved towards the center, with the stated number of $40 mil apart right now.

Another day of retro pay is all you need to tell yourself.

That picture looks nerdy. You need to update it.

Rumors are worthless. There are GMM's scheduled for Feb 10th in SDF. Rather than soliciting rumors, go to the meeting and ask for yourself if your schedule permits.

I doubt you'll get a concrete answer to "When will the NMB schedule more talks?" Only the NMB can say for sure.

As for "Are they even meeting?..." the recess only precludes mediated negotiations. It does not prevent the two sides from negotiating on their own. Ask Tom next Friday if they have been meeting during the recess. If you're not there to ask, have a friend ask for you.

I'm sure it'll be discussed one way or another.

No need to wait until next Fri. If you heard a rumor, don't believe it. Call or email anyone on the EB/NC. It may take a day or two, but they will gladly answer any questions you have.

Be patient...This is negotiating 101...the company hopes that by wearing us down, we will settle for something far less than we are asking for...attend a GMM and ask some questions...if u see Jim M. in the sort sit down and introduce yourself and get a feel for him..he's about the smartest bulldog we have and the perfect guy to have on the NC...

The contract will come along with the retro...100%...just keep smiling and remember to give only 100%...

JMHO
