Current Grievances

- All of these article’s touch on accrual of time for vacation, sick, and personal days.
- The driver was denied accrued vacation time due to not meeting his anniversary before termination. The Union argued that the contract, though not definitively clear pertaining to this matter, that time served equated to some value before termination.
- Result – the company and the Union signed an agreement to pay Voluntary Resignation and one week of accrued vacation time. We also agreed that this would not set a precedence for future similar situations. Each future situation would be considered a new matter with no past practice involved.
The union is open to suggestions to collecting membership input for this year’s contract negotiations.
- Sealed drop boxes in each location
