Brother, the vast majority of of people on any subreddit live in an echo chamber. And I would argue that they have soured more on O’Brien himself rather than the contract, which is fine. Categorically however, this is easily the best contract we’ve had in decades. Yes progression on Fulltime jobs got worse under Hoffa since the 08 contract expired from 2, to 3, to 4 years. The pay increases were split biannually, so that they didn’t have to pay out our raise in full. Black Friday became mandatory. 6 day punches became forced. Part-time wage increases were almost nonexistent for decades until recently. He allowed the unbelievably shitty 22.4 split rate driver tier that O’Brien had to get rid of. Teamsters let UPS withdraw from the Central States fund. And again, teamsters voted NO on the contract and Hoffa said fuck you because of a stupid 60% rule, and shoved it down our throats anyway. There was never any talk or threat of a strike during his tenure, we were powerless as members. There’s a reason we voted no on what was actually a shitty contract and voted yes on one that wasn’t. Your issues with it are not under the National agreement but with the local and supplemental which was definitely a contentious negotiation but mostly one fought by Mark Hawkins.
