Don't have to worry about that! OZ won.

I agree I just want to make sure people are aware the rule did change but the president still can decide. And his decision is final.

I have never set a deadline to be in the car by a certain time. Sounds like a east coast thing.

If it happens it will be the Company’s decision.

We had a pcm in the last month where our manager was talking about getting volume from fedex and then he went on a HUGE tangent about "not striking, and don't talk up striking! Because after the 97 strike a ton of you guys didn't have much work." It was mindblowing. But thats what alot of us thought is that its up to the company to come with good/decent offers and not be slapping us in the face.

It was slow for quite a while after the strike of 97

If I tell his young guys vote no if it's a bad contract do not vote no because you want to go on strike

My sentiments exactly.

There are people saying we are going on strike. What? We haven't even seen a contract proposal from either side yet. Some don't care what the proposals are. They want payback. They will vote no on anything just so they can strike.

Give O'Brien a chance. He may actually negotiate something that is fair. If he cannot come to an agreement with the Company, well, then a strike is an option. An option that will be devastating for both sides, but may be necessary.

They hear that strike talk k on the news.
I've had many customers asking me if we're going on strike

I've had numerous customers bring up the strike talk. Knowing that we're by far, the highest paid in the industry, they asked what we were asking for.

Air conditioning? Or a higher starting wage than McDonalds?

They will cut the retirees off first.....

Easy now retirees are the only ones contributing while you drivers freeload your way through

 

[burrheadd]

You all know that it would take the President and maybe congress to approve us to on strike right?

Did you just make this up?
We aren’t government workers

UPS is the one you need to talk to about a strike. UPS will be the reason there’s a strike, not us. Don’t get it twisted. If there’s a strike, it’s bc UPS wanted one.

Same here. I tell everyone august 1 there will be a strike. Why? Bc I think UPS is still playing us as suckers and they will cause one with their weak offer.

Let's see what the shareholders have to say about that

I don’t think they’ll allow the entire company to stop for longer than a week. Tome is in it just to look at that stock and just banking on it.

 

[The Milkman]

Thank you for your reply
I just want to know what everyone's thinking

Gums send me a Pm if ya can. Not sure how to do it Thanks

 

[NW.Hunter]

I'm glad I saw this post, I didn't even think about taking vacation. Now I'm going to take the first two or maybe three weeks of August. Can you imagine the absolute mess it will be delivering after a strike?

I was fortunate I was off the week they came back in 1997

So you’re wasting vacations when you could be getting strike pay and more time off?

You’re brilliant.

On the other hand they wouldn't lose any pension credits

That was part of the 97 strike and most likely will be again, if a strike were to happen. Paid pension credits for the time off because of the strike.
