1. Isikhulu esiphezulu se-UPS uCarol Tomé uthe esitatimendeni: “Sime ndawonye ukuze sifinyelele esivumelwaneni esizuzisa wonke umuntu ngodaba olubalulekile ebuholini benyunyana yeNational Teamsters, abasebenzi be-UPS, i-UPS kanye namakhasimende.”. (Ngokuqondile okwamanje, kunethuba elikhulu lokuthi isiteleka sizogwenywa, futhi isiteleka sisengenzeka. Inqubo yokugunyazwa kwamalungu enyunyana kulindeleke ukuthi ithathe isikhathi esingaphezu kwamasonto amathathu. Umphumela wevoti lamalungu enyunyana ungase usabangele isiteleka, kodwa uma isiteleka senzeka ngaleso sikhathi Ekupheleni kuka-Agasti, hhayi isixwayiso sokuqala sango-Agasti 1. Kwakukhona ukukhathazeka ngokuthi ukushoda komshayeli weloli kungase kuqale ngokushesha ngesonto elizayo futhi kuphazamise izintambo zokunikezela zase-US, kubize umnotho izigidigidi zamaRandi.)
2. UCarol Tomé uthe: “Lesi sivumelwano sizoqhubeka nokuhlinzeka abashayeli bamaloli abasebenza isikhathi esigcwele kanye nabasebenza isikhathi esithile be-UPS ngesinxephezelo kanye nezinzuzo ezihamba phambili embonini, kuyilapho sigcina ukuguquguquka esikudingayo ukuze sihlale sincintisana, sikhonze amakhasimende futhi silondoloze ibhizinisi eliqinile.”
3. USean M. O'Brien, umphathi jikelele we-Teamsters, inhlangano kazwelonke yabashayeli bamaloli, uthe esitatimendeni ukuthi inkontileka yeminyaka emihlanu eqanjiwe “ibeka indinganiso entsha yenhlangano yabasebenzi futhi iphakamisa izinga labo bonke abasebenzi.” “Sishintshe umdlalo.” imithetho, silwa imini nobusuku ukuqinisekisa ukuthi amalungu ethu athola isivumelwano sethu esihle esikhokhela amaholo aphezulu, sivuza amalungu ethu ngomsebenzi wawo, futhi asidingi zibonelelo.”
4. Ngaphambi kwalokhu, abashayeli be-UPS abaletha amaphakheji amancane isikhathi esigcwele babethola isilinganiso esingu-$145,000 ngonyaka njengesinxephezelo esiphelele. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukukhokhwa kwamaphrimiyamu omshuwalense wezempilo aphelele, kufikela emavikini ayisikhombisa eholide elikhokhelwayo, kanye namaholide asemthethweni akhokhelwayo, ikhefu lokugula kanye namaholide okuzikhethela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kunezindleko zempesheni kanye nezindleko zokufunda.
5. I-Teamsters ithe isivumelwano esisanda kuxoxiswana ngaso sizokhulisa amaholo e-Teamsters asebenza isikhathi esigcwele kanye nasebenza isikhathi esithile ngo-$2.75/ihora ngo-2023 futhi sikhuphuke ngo-$7.50/ihora ngesikhathi senkontileka, noma ngaphezulu kuka-$15,000 ngonyaka. Inkontileka izobeka umholo wesisekelo wesikhathi esithile ongu-$21 ngehora, kanti abasebenzi abaningi abenza isikhathi esithile abaphezulu bazokhokhelwa kakhulu. Umholo ophezulu omaphakathi wabashayeli bamaloli abasebenza isikhathi esigcwele be-UPS uzokhuphuka ufike ku-$49 ngehora! I-Teamsters ithe lesi sivumelwano sizosusa nohlelo lwamaholo olunezigaba ezimbili kwabanye abasebenzi futhi sidale imisebenzi emisha engu-7,500 yesikhathi esigcwele ye-UPS yamalungu enyunyana.
5. Abahlaziyi baseMelika bathi lesi sivumelwano “sihle kakhulu kwi-UPS, imboni yezokuthutha amaphakheji, ukunyakaza kwabasebenzi kanye nabanikazi bezimpahla.” Kodwa-ke “abathumeli kudingeka babheke imininingwane yesivumelwano ukuze baqonde ukuthi le nkontileka entsha izothinta kangakanani izindleko zabo, nokuthi ekugcineni izothinta kanjani ukwenyuka kwentengo okujwayelekile kwe-UPS ngo-2024.”
6. I-UPS yayisingatha isilinganiso samaphakheji ayizigidi ezingu-20.8 ngosuku ngonyaka odlule, kanti nakuba i-FedEx, i-US Postal Service, kanye nensizakalo yokulethwa kwezimpahla ye-Amazon inomthamo omkhulu, bambalwa abakholelwa ukuthi wonke amaphakheji angaphathwa ngalezi zindlela uma kwenzeka isiteleka. Izinkinga ezingxoxweni zenkontileka zazihlanganisa umoya opholile wamaveni okulethwa kwezimpahla, izidingo zokwenyuswa okukhulu kwamaholo, ikakhulukazi kwabasebenzi abasebenza isikhathi esithile, kanye nokuvala igebe lamaholo phakathi kwezigaba ezimbili ezahlukene zabasebenzi e-UPS.
7. Ngokusho komholi wenyunyana uSean M. O'Brien, izinhlangothi zombili zazifinyelele esivumelwaneni cishe ngo-95% wenkontileka, kodwa izingxoxo zaphela ngoJulayi 5 ngenxa yezinkinga zomnotho. Ngesikhathi sezingxoxo zangoLwesibili, kugxilwe kakhulu ekuholweni kanye nezinzuzo zabashayeli besikhashana, abakha ngaphezu kwengxenye yabashayeli bamaloli benkampani. Ngemva kokuba izingxoxo ziqale kabusha ngoLwesibili ekuseni, izinhlangothi zombili zafinyelela esivumelwaneni sokuqala ngokushesha.
8. Ngisho nesiteleka sesikhashana singabeka i-UPS engcupheni yokulahlekelwa amakhasimende isikhathi eside, njengoba abathengisi abaningi abakhulu bengase basayine izinkontileka zesikhathi eside nabancintisani be-UPS njenge-FedEx ukuze baqhubeke behamba.
9. Iziteleka zisengenzeka, futhi usongo lweziteleka alukapheli. Abashayeli bamaloli abaningi basenentukuthelo yokuthi amalungu angavota ngokumelene nesivumelwano ngisho noma kukhushulwa amaholo kanye nokunye ukuwina etafuleni.
10. Amanye amalungu e-Teamsters akhululekile ngokuthi akudingeki ateleke. I-UPS ayizange ibe nesiteleka kusukela ngo-1997, ngakho iningi labashayeli bamaloli abangu-340,000 be-UPS abazange bateleke ngesikhathi besenkampanini. Abanye abashayeli be-UPS abanjengoCarl Morton baxoxiswane nabo bathi ujabule kakhulu ngezindaba zesivumelwano. Uma kwenzeka, wayekulungele ukuteleka, kodwa wayenethemba lokuthi ngeke kwenzeke. "Kwakunjengokukhululeka okusheshayo," etshela abezindaba ehholo lenyunyana ePhiladelphia. "Kuyahlanya. Nokho, emizuzwini embalwa edlule, besicabanga ukuthi kuzoteleka, futhi manje sekulungisiwe."
11. Nakuba lesi sivumelwano sisekelwa ubuholi benyunyana, kusenezibonelo eziningi zokuhluleka kwamavoti okuvuma amalungu ngokuhlanganyela. Elinye lalawo mavoti lifike kuleli sonto lapho ama-57% enyunyana yabashayeli bezindiza i-FedEx evotela ukwenqaba isivumelwano sesikhashana senkontileka esasizokhuphula umholo wawo ngo-30%. Ngenxa yemithetho yezabasebenzi esebenza kubashayeli bezindiza, inyunyana ayivunyelwe ukuteleka esikhathini esifushane naphezu kwevoti lokungavoti. Kodwa leyo mikhawulo ayisebenzi kubashayeli bamaloli be-UPS.
12. Inyunyana iTeamsters ithe lesi sivumelwano sizobiza i-UPS cishe amaRandi ayizigidigidi ezingama-30 esikhathini seminyaka emihlanu senkontileka. I-UPS yenqabile ukuphawula ngesilinganiso, kodwa yathi izochaza ngezilinganiso zayo zezindleko uma ibika inzuzo yekota yesibili ngomhlaka-8 Agasti.
