Contract proposals for 2018

[wide load]

So part of my Teamster oath is to sit in a lawn chair on the side of the road, drink beer and yell at cars driving by our picket line? Thanks, but no thanks.

Yes it is. Obviously solidarity is not in your vocabulary.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Yes it is. Obviously solidarity is not in your vocabulary.

Rather surprised that it was in yours as it has more than one syllable.

If there were more like me there would be no reason to strike in the first place.

I agree! If there were more of you, there we be no union and you would get what they give you. Inconsiderate flick.

How hard is it to read a PAL label and load accordingly? Or, better yet, how hard is it to unload packages from a trailer labels up on a conveyor, chute or slide?

Evidently it's not that easy when you're loading four to six cars and we have 40 misloads at times. Why don't you try that let me know how it works out?

There are more like you. They work for FedEx and Walmart.

I have more. One that comes to mind when I hear the word David is sanctimonious.

Our local has contract proposal meetings in which they compile our suggestions, weed out the frivolous and forward the remaining to the IBT Negotiating Team.

You mean the Joe unions?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

You mean the Joe unions?

No. I am talking about the ones who are intelligent enough to be on equal footing with the company.

I would not want a Joe Union negotiating my next car lease, let alone a National Master Agreement affecting the livelihoods of thousands of union workers.

News flash!:
They are Joe unions.
You aren't in their league.
They attended the strike line until it was over and the thousands of 22:3 jobs that exist today were won.
Yes, we're all glad you don't negotiate our CBAs.

Would it be better if UPS negotiated your next contract with UPS?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Would it be better if UPS negotiated your next contract with UPS?

I would prefer one well versed in contract negotiation, such as a lawyer, to be involved in the process. Anyone below the regional level need not apply.

 

[olroadbeech]

don't forget the retirees.......someday you'll be one of us.

Take care of your business before you retire and it won't be an issue.

So you think a transient Workforce is efficient? Evidently you've never had a business. Or common sense.

Bingo. Part timers that come and go don't benefit anyone. It takes more than a couple months to become a good loader and learn how to do the job the correct way. That's one of the reasons drivers go out with shi!$$y loads all the time.

A lawyer that knows the intricacies of our work environment? All set.

Drivers go out with ty loads because millenials/milleniels lack a work ethic.

A lawyer that knows the ins and out of contract law.

Brother I would never lease a car .
That's your whole problem. You are leasing cars and you think you should get paid less money an hour. Does your wife hold your tennis balls in her purse ?

Once again, all set. Don't need contract law, less lawyers. Lawyers are already writing verbiage in our contracts.

Apparently it's pretty hard since you couldn't hack it on the inside and had to come back to driving.

And you lack common sense and tact.

I would wager your Roth that the "millennials" we employ... and my kids are in that age group...can work circles around your pompous donkey with a much better attitude than you portray on here. Heck, my oldest grandson has a better work ethic and "can do" attitude than many of my coworkers who are within the retirement age margin.

Others just had parents that divorced when they were young and the Dads never bothered to show them how to be responsible and productive young adults because they didn't consider it was more important than their personal interests.
