The local too?

Easy to be the tough guy when you have no skin in the game.

Wait aren't we being the tough guys? Aren't we the ones that say the teamsters will never strike UPS? Isn't that why we celebrated the OZ victory?

I would think so

Then again, having no skin in the game allows you to be more aggressive.

I would prefer the person negotiating for me paycheck not be on the line so that I can get the best deal without them thinking of themselves..

Granted there are a lot of “Me firsts” in our ranks, but study the defeatist doom and gloom negotiating going during the 2013 and 2018 contract talks. The last one reeked with cowardice....

The vast majority of our membership might too scared to strike, study how Carey did it in “97”. He did not approve the “Last Best Final Offer” and did not present it up to vote till his terms were met.... ignoring the whining “real teamsters” that were hearing it from their wives and worried about making the Harley payments.

 

[Wally]

RTW state scabs, do they work during a strike? They are not in the union.

Seems they are two peas in a pod then.

Yes Carey didn't even allow the members to vote on the contract. That's because he didn't want to take the chance of losing the UPS pension money.

If they didn’t join the union.

We got hosed definitely on this contract.

No 2/3 rule this time and strike benefits are paid from day one

That was a big issue then. The company tried hard to drive a wedge in the rank and file.

They are protected by the NLRB if they decide to not cross but they are already scabs so I wouldn't put it passed them.

 

[Wally]

If they didn’t join the union.

Wonder how many there are?

 

[542thruNthru]

Wonder how many there are?

I'm sure a lot.

I'm curious how many PTers will stand with the driver's on a strike if it comes down to it and vice versa.

 

[UnionStrong]

Wonder how many there are?

A lot.

That is an automatic yes vote no matter how bad the first offer is.
