Confederate Flag at UPS (on topic)

[oldngray]

The South has rose already ... the South controls Congress and the Presidency!

You still have to own up to Jimmy Carter though.

Panhandle is trailer park redneck central

You could be right, everyone I know there lives in a nice house.
I was thinking South Florida is the center of the trailer park world.
Well kept up but still trailers.

The King of Peanuts.

Aren't the south Florida trailer parks mostly old people from NY who went there to die?

Agree ... still in trailers.
I don't know if they are from NY but definitely Yankees.

Stayed at a RV park near Tampa recently that was quite interesting. There were sites for nightly rental, lots of tiny seasonal trailers, and some year-round residents. Everyone there knew each other and golf carts were abundant.
Lots of people from Ontario. We were the youngest couple there. I called it Hobbitville.

Lincoln didn't care either way about slavery.

It's my understanding that Lincoln had a black girlfriend.

I wonder if she was any influence in Lincoln freeing the slaves?

 

[BigUnionGuy]

How would you handle this in your facility?

That's a legitimate question.


First off, it's not (really) a Union issue.

Inside employees are minimally affected by clothing "standards" and there is

no contractual language addressing it. (kind of)


Is it smart ?

Nope.


Keep your personal business outside of UPS.... would be my advice.

Probably good ass beating at the very least.

It's statements like this.... by a wanna be thug.

I grew up in the south, love it here. Never felt the need to own a confederate flag or go around showing everyone how proud I am to be a southern.

 

[silverbullet2893]

It’s funny to me how much controversy a damn flag causes...on both sides

Bunch of cry baby (insert censored word here) in this world.

 

[dookie stain]

I am Georgian first and American second.
I don't care anything about Southern heritage.
I don't care about the Confederate flag at all.
I don't care anything about the American flag either.
Both are symbols of oppression.

Lol

The Civil War was fought over States Rights.
Lincoln was a tyrant.
The Confederate States of America had a legitimate right to leave the United States of America. They fought to protect their economy.
Too bad nobody assassinated Lincoln before the Civil War began.

Put the pipe down bro.

BLM is a racist terrorist organization that seeks to marginalize the value of white lives.

BLM is the same as the KKK both started by racist Democrats

I ask this because a part-time supervisor said over the radio today to the hub manager and full time supervisor that he doesn't want to see anyone wearing Confederate Flags. This isn't the first time he's said about this. The hub manager and full time supervisor say the will address it with me, but never do. So I continue to wear it. Said part-time supervisor is offended because his wife is black.

The snowflake generation strikes again. He will argue up and down and get reps involved to wear a stupid ass hat but when it comes to Union meetings and fighting for his rights will just lay down because he doesn't have time for that.

Pick your battles more carefully.

This is why uniforms were created, to make people look the same regardless of social class, wealthy, poor or political stance.

Which begs the question, why aren’t loaders and sorters made to wear like little UPS Elf suits...

No Goodwrench #3?

Not a fan of NASCAR

Wear that up here in Connecticut and you'd never make it back out to the guard shack alive.

I thought that statement was pretty weird at first cuz I'm right next door in Mass, and I can't imagine anyone caring what's on his hat.
But I've been to Hartford (UPS) many times, and I understand now. HIGH percentage of African Americans work there.
Just wanted to put the statement in some kind of context for anyone else who didn't get it.

 

[Butt In The Chair]

Roll Tide!

 

[UnconTROLLed]

That's true because the North and the coasts no longer believe in American values.
The North should fly the Euro flag and the South, the American flag.

Long live the racial segregation, endless poverty, starving children, and absolutely awful education system of the south!

LOL . The union should propose this at this year's negotiations. It's not like the OP will be there to argue his case. He will be too busy buying flags at Walmart.
