Contract Negotiations

[UPS2012]

Of course they wouldn't be happy,no one would. Where did you get your info that the public thinks we're overpaid dumb truck drivers? I never heard that from any of my customers in all my years here.Where would all the business go? FedEx? USPS? They both had a chance to do that in 97 yet passed,you think they're better prepared to take our volume? You think either could handle it?

You think they wouldn’t try?

 

[Johney]

You think they wouldn’t try?

Honestly? Sure some, they could never handle it all. Besides doesn't FedEx go to accounts every contract year and tell customers if you don't sign a contract with us now before UPS strikes we won't pick up your packages? How many actually bite on that?

Lol that’s a good line if they use that

They do or did.

Did you end up working 70 hours?

Where the hell were you at???.... most of the country was doing this... the whole damn network was behind, shortstaffed and flooded with volume...

What I’m really saying is I don’t think the public would be happy with us if we strike. They already think we are over payed dumb truck drivers. We would lose way to much business and be out of jobs. Give a little take a little. No need to be spoiled brats about everything.

Screw the public. They aren't the ones out there in the dark delivering or sweating their balls off unloading trailers for peanuts. The public already don't give a crap about you.

We only had a few work past 60, most i worked was 64

I'm far from disgruntled, but everyone on here knows you could use a healthy dose of Metamucil.

Telling a feeder driver they are disgruntled...lmao...disgruntled because you only received your hour paid nap instead of an hour and a half....dude has no clue...

Volume is actually where we are in a position of power.

Everybody is maxed out already.

Not disagreeing with you on that. Customers are getting ridiculous.

Exactly!!!
Lol, I enjoyed Christmas for the first time in 20 years.

Peak was so easy for me yet I felt bad for my driver buddies getting shafted by the company. This contract isn’t about the money, it’s the gray areas in the contract that have been abused.

Look, I don’t think anyone here, or on Facebook, wants to have a strike against UPS....but there are certain things each side wants and ups is going to make things very difficult even though the company is doing EXTREMELY WELL right now.. now with that being said, nobody wants ups to go under or loose profits or customers but there is a large enough slice of pie for them to reward all of us( including their low level sups and managers)with at least 1.00 raises per year and other things that members want....including non-monetary language....

Seriously?-- You think the public cares about you? You are a special kind of stupid aren't you.

He is disgruntled, makes $115k and whines about everything

I’ve seen ups screw over customers so many times over the years.... most of it being straight up petty sht.... it’s a damn shame! It sure wasn’t the drivers doing it....

Of course they do. Why you gotta call me stupid?

 

[UPS2012]

I could care less about pay raises. All I care about is that management is held accountable for not following the contract over and over again.

Closer to 120k but who’s counting....I’ve known cops, firefighters, welders, electricians, lineman, plumbers, gas and electric company employees, all make what we make, and many with better benefits.....

 

[babboo25]

Of course they do. Why you gotta call me stupid?

And stop stealing the material from a fat redneck washed up comedian.
