National Grievance Cases for June

leave a comment »

The latest information on the national grievance cases are up and the Teamsters for a Democratic Union aren’t happy:

The decisions are in from the June meeting of the National Grievance Committee in Philadelphia and the results aren’t pretty.  If the National Grievance Committee was a UPS employee it would be fired for poor job performance.

In four days of hearings, the highest UPS grievance body under the contract ruled in favor of the union just four times.  The company won 13 cases outright.  Another 42 cases were deadlocked.  An incredible 78 cases were postponed.
