Local 162 Mark Davison Shenanigans

[TheMilitantTeamster]

Well UPS told everyone they were eliminating the day shift back end of January. And then we hear nothing from the Local but finally someone gets their hands on this. I have many questions because Art 38 is pretty clear, but this “process” the local is cooking up is as clear as mud. Only on Feb 26 are BAs coming to the hub, meeting on March 16 but still no layoff list

all we know is 268 union jobs are going to be axed on April 18, but not much else.

What are some good questions we should ask Davison at this meeting and before?

You mean the Western Package Director isn't doing his job. I guess he is listening to the Beastie Boys not Cheech and Chong.

In all fairness to Local 162 President, JC37 President, International Vice President, Western Package Director and Western Pension Trustee, Davison, he has at least four full-time union jobs and one protecting our pension. That's a minimum of 32 hours a day - not including overtime! 160 hours a week. It's no wonder he can't be bothered to lower himself to the problems of the common people who exist in the basic confines of a 24-hour day.

Sickening!

[Koldiww]

There are those who handled these jobs well in the past. But davidson, finn, hicks, and griswold, have neither the intellectual capacity or the experience to handle the job. Besides the fact that they are puppeteered in everything they do. Where is Ken Mee when we need him!

Here' some...The contract is only six months old , what will the union jobs look like after five years? Ask him if he saw the layoffs coming before the contract was negotiated? Did he see the companies statements on automating their facilities? Did he know they were building velocity centers? Why wasn't more done to protect jobs?

[Pasco]

Why did he negotiate $.50 less per hour for Health and pension then the last three Hoffa contracts?
(I know off topic)

[Ron Dans]

UPS CEO talks about the contract and automation.

[TheMilitantTeamster]

She looks far too happy. SOB gave her a real treat

[Magruder]

F- ing hilarious, and painful.

[Tony R Cochran]

Yes, AI/automation is partly why actors and writers stayed out on strike for so long. The studio bosses wanted to scan an actor--say an extra--for a one-time fee, and then use that scan indefinitely for background purposes. The actors wouldn't have it.

well there you have it. And we see the volume isn’t decreasing that drastically. But it’s being diverted to automated hubs like Alderwood and Tacoma

It is perfectly on topic.

[TheMilitantTeamster]

Exactly, considering how ups hr is clear on reducing its unionized workforce by 80% in many locations… the question is who will remain to pay into this fund that is on course to be underfunded

[Thisischange?]

Absolutely, and a question to be pondered. The part timers out west are a gold mine for those funds. Many never reach vesting status, so in essence it's free money.Compound that with Seanie boys 50 cent reduction in the new conract and even a blind man could see that shit.

[Mr. Teamster]

Why is he such an awkward dork? Seriously

[Tony R Cochran]

The problem isn't that he's "an awkward dork." The problem is that he is malignantly opposed to the interests of working-class people.

One of the many reasons we have the best pension in the Teamsters. The part timers are an endless money pit.

[TheMilitantTeamster]

Not for long

He doesn’t get overtime? Sounds like he needs a union contract with strong language. That poor man. I hope he gets a good multiple salaries.

[Tony R Cochran]

No, he's only compensated to the tune of 300-500k a year. We will know most of his income with the LM-2s. His pension trustee salary, as it is not directly from union dues or PACs, is not reported there.

[Mr. Teamster]

When Mark first came up the rumors about him being on the spectrum or autistic were out there. The guy is definitely an odd character. Autistic, I don’t know. Very intelligent in a goofy way.

[Tony R Cochran]

My husband has Autistic Spectrum Disorder. President Davison's failures as a leader have nothing to do with autism. That is offensive. President Davison's failures as a leader have everything to do with his inability to put the needs of the members before his own desire for influence, power and 300K+ a year.
