It covers recall rights for laid-off road drivers within specific timelines, strengthened restrictions on subcontracting through the creation and review of Line Haul Driver positions, and multiple rules governing job bidding, run cuts, seniority-based voluntary time off, and vacation availability. It also outlines improvements for military employees, guarantee changes for the bottom 10% workforce, and opportunities for medically disqualified drivers to regain driving work. Finally, it highlights economic terms including reduced health care premiums, retiree coverage adjustments, discretionary days, pension benefit changes, and scheduled wage increases starting in 2014 and 2015.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":40,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/highlights-of-the-ups-freight-tentative-agreement/298611/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/highlights-of-the-ups-freight-tentative-agreement/298611.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"Franzy","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-21","2026-09-18",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":44},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"What recall rights does the tentative agreement provide for laid-off road drivers?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"Within 90 days of the new agreement’s effective date, road drivers on layoff at facilities using subcontractors are recalled to full employment unless they declined to follow approved operational changes.

Full employment is defined for this Article as road drivers receiving his/her daily guarantee in his/her classification. Therefore the recall includes road drivers laid off to the street as well as those working outside of their classification.  \n(Article 44)  \nThe new language has also strengthened limitations on subcontracting. To help restrict subcontracting, a new position of Line Haul Driver was created. Line Haul Driver runs must first be reviewed and agreed upon by the UPSF/IBT Competition Committee. A new procedure was negotiated to help identify two-way runs, which would require the company to add jobs to the road driver classification. As part of the new procedure, terminals within a 30-mile driving distance from each other will be considered one terminal for the purposes of determining two way freight. (Article 44)  \nFull-Time Job Opportunities Language was negotiated that will create full-time job opportunities for employees.  \nIfa casual or combination of casuals works the same shift for eight (8) continuous hours forty-five (45) days in ninety (90) consecutive calendar days, other thanas a temporary replacement for an employee on vacation or leave of absence, the  \ncompany shall create a full-time dock position that it may classify, at its discretion, as a full-time dock position with CDL or full-time dock only. (Article 5. 1)  \nTo help non-CDL employees obtain a CDL the company will implement a program to provide assistance to its employees who wish to obtain a CDL. (New Memorandum ofUnderstanding)  \nBumping Rights for Daily Run Cuts A road driver whose run is cut for the dayshall have the option of holding until his/her next bid, dovetailing to the extra board, or working ahead of a casual. AP&D driver whose run is cut for the dayshall have the option of taking the day off in seniority order, displacing the junior P&D driver who starts at the same time or after them, or working ahead of a casual employee. Under all options described above the employee would need to be able to meet their next bid start time. (Article 5.2)  \nStrengthening Seniority Voluntary time off will be offered in seniority order. (Article 5.2)  \nIfa road driver’s run is increased by one hundred (100) miles or more, then the run will be rebid so senior road drivers shall have the option to bid on the run. (Article 5.4)  \nUnassigned work and end-of-theday dock work will be offered in seniority order. Unassigned drivers shall have the ability to select work by seniority. When it becomes necessary to reduce the number of dock workers during a shift, unassigned dock work will be offered to dock workers who are waiting for assignment in seniority order, provided all contractual work guarantees are met and over-  \ntime status is equal. (New Section  \nArticle 5.7)  \nIf any blocked out week of vacation is later determined open for vacation then those vacation weeks shall be offered in seniority order. (Article 25.5)  \nVacation Improvements for Employees in the Military  \nThose UPSF employees who have been serving our country in the military will now continue to accrue vacation to be used upon their return. This means that when they comeback, they will have vacation available to use immediately upon their return. (Article 14)  \nGuarantees for the Bottom 10% The 10% of employees that previously had no guarantee will now receive a four (4) hour guarantee.
