Definitely agree we won’t get everything but so far the company is offering nothing.


And the idiot that wrote the article is a maroon. He’s wrong on 90% of his facts and he’s also wrong because he believes the people who work there do not understand what a good contract would look like because he thinks that Teamsters are too stupid to figure it out.

We’ve had this discussion about this article, and why isn’t that guy saying UPS need to do the right thing? They have a brilliant opportunity right now to get this contract over and done with one of their competitors wounded, and the other one really unwilling to take more volume. Make a reasonable offer. And all of this talk, it’s over in less than 60 days.

I agree. And I think he is right about more than 10% of the article, but the good news is that UPS can see an outsiders view of how it will hurt them to not get this over with.

I saw those supposed frantic calls from UPS negotiators when O'Brien refused to start talks on the National until the Supplements were wrapped up.

Maybe a good sign. It at least looks like they are trying to get it done. Time will tell.

Strike pay my friend. As well as it’s everyone’s duty to save for this occasion once every 3 to 5 years.

Plus, I know a lot of managers will loan you $20 for $50, compounded weekly.

He was a founding member of RPS.... and two of senior staff are ex-UPS management.

Go figure.

It must be the first thing they teach in executive school:

No forced in my local.

That’s great it shouldn’t be too difficult to get that agreement nationwide. And they can incentivize with double time if they’re worried about volunteers.

Yes because if I paid double time they might actually move some that work back to Monday where it belongs

 

[Pullman Brown]

How about making the six-punch double time

No six punch. It’s been peak for four years for some guys. Enough is enough!

I'm just saying you could probably get enough of volunteers for double time

Correct and I never want to limit what others might want to do, whether I do or not everybody situation is different. And there have been times in my career where I did not mind earning some extra money, but I’ve never liked being told. I have to come in on a day off.

Agree. I’ll work six punch to provide for my family but I don’t want to be forced!

 

[Thebrownblob]

That’s right and that’s why I said if the company is worried that if they can’t force people won’t come in then offer double time and they’ll probably never have problems getting people who WANT the overtime on the six day.

Our family time is valuable, and they need to pay us a wage that makes it worth working the extra time.

Can’t buy time brother. How much is it worth to be able to play catch with your son or go to his game or just hang out?

That’s why that whole total plan bs whatever you call it where you ask how many hours you want to work was just pouring salt in an open wound for many drivers!
