Default The Teamsters and UPS.

Is there any information and/or rumors on how the voting is going? I heard that the voting is in progress and is to be completed around June 25th.

Thanks.......................

Possible summer vacation for the Airline if the contract is voted down? TNT, US Postal Contract and the Teamsters vote could add to the list of failures for management. Thoughts?

Given Max Failure's track record, they may well turn it down and go on strike. Oddly enough, I bet the dividend wouldn't miss a beat, and that's all Max cares about...he couldn't care less if UPS is bankrupt in ten years...he will have gotten his.

What a POS CEO...

There will be no strike. The national contract will be accepted. It makes no difference if the Louisville Local 89 rejects it.

Don't forget S. H. I. T at the end of your sentence. That would reference AF more accurately.

Default Don't do it!

Teamsters didn't do do squat for us at Atlas! And continue to do nothing as well.

The union is what a pilot group makes it. Most pilots expect to pay a small percentage out of their paycheck and then expect that the union will get them everything they want.

I came from an ALPA carrier and have been rather happy with the Teamsters at Atlas thus far. Let me ask you, other than paying your dues, what did you do to earn a better contract. Did you volunteer to do union work? When negotiations stalled, how did you slow the operation down to help your negotiators gain negotiating leverage? What are you currently working on to get an industry leading contract in October 2016 when our current CBA becomes amendable?
