Do you believe Sean O’ Brian Will be elected president of the international for a second term?

Was there contracts in place that weren’t up yet maybe? Similar to the Europeans with the oil. Those are all mostly ending soon as well besides a couple of pro Russian countries from what I understood

Could be although I think they could’ve canceled it at any time.

He was probably getting a kick back, as the politicians usually do. Trump doesn’t need the money, the tail or the fame. That’s why he’s dangerous to the establishment. Call me crazy, and I’m sure some will, lol, but this country has hemorrhaged good paying jobs since NAFTA. So called free trade has killed us. I’ll take some short term pain for the future of my kid and grandkids.

I definitely don’t believe in what was the so-called free trade. It was never free. I believe we paid a price over the years.

You think? America got raped. Everyone takes advantage of us. them all. Imagine where UPS would be without that toxic in agreement

I’m genuinely asking, trying to learn as I don’t know enough about this, but how would ups have benefited without the trade agreements?

UPS would’ve been fine either way. But if you notice jobs like ours with the pay, the benefits, etc., etc. are rare now when they used to be common for middle class. The free trade experiment eroded all those good blue-collar jobs. Sent them to other countries for lower wages. People like to say it was great for the economy, but if you notice it was great for billionaires there’s more and more concentrated with fewer and fewer people and even corporate consolidation.

We are spoiled at UPS

We are but logistically they can’t really really send our jobs to another country. But they certainly will try to find a way to replace us with machines if they can.

I don’t know if spoiled is the right word because we work hard for it. I think the other companies are neglecting their workers

I definitely am EXTREMELY blessed and grateful for my job though

Automation is a threat to inside workers. Someone still has to deliver the package.

To be fair I might be spoiled with my benefits as a part timer lol. But I can’t stress how appreciative of it I am though and I don’t take it for granted. I really try to give my all every shift and never call in unless necessary. I’ve called in sick two instances within 10 years

The thirst for more profits is driving these nut jobs further and further they are looking for a way to replace even drivers with robots eventually down the road.

My question is if they replace everyone who’s going to buy their crap?

If you knew what other people paid weekly or monthly, it would make your jaw drop. All We have to do is show up to work.

There is nowhere(company)in the country that give these benefits to the part timers, You probably earn them. Two instances in 10 years = a beer.

Well I’ll be dipped in sht and rolled in cornflakes, a snowflake that shows up to work. Are you on time too? Wee Doggie!
You want a pat on the head, son?

According to this website, we also trade with Russia. Maybe vodka? So @MyTripisCut has a point.

Wow, could have sworn this thread was about Sean Obrien and the IBT General Election.

Did I accidentally wonder into current events?
