Bragging About Your Wages On Social Media Is Just Dumb!

A tank of ammunition?

A MSN story will drive negotiations? LOLOLOLOL....

The real question: How many more concessions will the Union make?

We have cameras, no ventilation/A/C, pvd's, contractors .........now. They aren't going away.

You give way too much credit for what the "public" thinks or cares.....

What....do you think there will be protests in Atlanta to cut our pay? Burn down cities because the UPS guy can buy a dually?

Funny....I always admired my customers leaving town on Friday afternoon at 15:30 to go to the lake in THEIR dually pulling THEIR new bass boat........while I was delivering and making pickups.....(customers)always at HOME at Christmas drinking and offering me a cookie....

And......watching me sweat picking up their stuff......salt stains.......they know how hard we work.......still out delivering at 21:00.
They sure wouldn't do it for less. Come on.

The public could care LESS.
You don't understand.

The public being on our side in the 97 strike was HUGE.

They will not in 2023 if you people strike. Public opinion is more valuable
than you think. Don't be so dismissive.

arrogance comes before the fall.....

There were more people from the greatest and silent generation alive throughout those times, so they at least understood what the labor movement went through. Most today have no idea and are entitled to the core.

Yeah but those people have fun and rewarding careers. We have back breaking soul crushing manual labor working for pricks.
When I delivered for Amazon I actually enjoyed it and found it fun, especially during peak. Wore a Santa hat, and made people and kids smile. Realized I can make this a career here. Not to mention seeing all the funny things people do while on route.

Deranged lunatic
I think it's important to highlight what's possible to other folks and make it more of a broad base issue outside of our own union. high 5 your construction guys, take lunch with the amazon driver, etc. be stewards of the high wage argument.

It's all about productivity.

“Even while paying union workers almost twice what FedEx Ground drivers make, UPS earns a return on invested capital that’s more than double its rival’s,” Bloomberg writer Thomas Black noted in November 2021.

What does a teacher or nurse make with over 20 years in working in a major city.

You are forgetting the attribution rate for every UPS Union position, more prone to disability and injuries.

40 bucks an hour with one income is lower middle class.

What do you think?
Lmao what? You make $80,000/yearly on 40 hours/weekly. I would have to work 75 hours/weekly to make that money; Which is 50 hours OT. Oh and less than 25% of the US population makes over $25/hr.

You do know there is a thing called Seniority....

Just how many years do you have in?


Another term is paying our dues...

What you are doing now is what I did 35 years ago.

Hang around awhile and you will get to 40 an hour...eventually...👍
