Contract ends in 2023

[Johney]

One guy got in a fist fight with the bldg manager where I was. Lol. He did get fired.

Had that here too. Funny we were asked(told) to donate our two weeks of $55 strike pay to him.

All I can say if it does go down I will at least go down to the line a day or two to give my support.

I found out in the 1997 strike a Ball Bearing and a Slingshot can make a mess of windshields .

My guess is two weeks of no pay is all it would take to financially crush a good chunk.

Two weeks would do a good deal of financial harm to the company as well, that's kind of how it works.

There is definetly a limit on how we could strike. The capitalist pigs made sure to outlaw strike techniques such as having numerous people call in sick at once. Many of the ideas from the unions in the past are now illegal and I'm not sure what actions we should take. I am happy to see that people are demanding higher wages.

Strike=vacation...

 

[Thebrownblob]

Strike=vacation...

At least until the bills come due for the people who didn’t save a dime.

Most don't. They start considering it about two months before the contract ends- and that's a small percentage. Most don't even know the duration.

Is there any reason Biden couldn't do what Reagan did when airline workers(or traffic controllers or something) went on strike? Could he claim some national critical infrastructure stuff especially since ups delivers a lot of the covid vaccine? Not saying he would just a what if

He absolutely could. Though I doubt he would. More than likely he'd let it play out a bit and then shut it down if it dragged on.

The Air traffic controllers were federal employees under FAA. But he could intervene in a UPS strike if it was a National emergency

And get vaca pay. At least I did in 97.
Who woulda thunk I could have timed it that way.

Millions and millions way back in 97.
Two weeks now? Lordy, Lordy.
