Why would the union be surprised and not act more proactive? Shut er' down the first moment any camera is installed.

Absolutely. We should have walked on day one.
Another option would be refusing to use any trucks with the camera's installed until negotiations are reached. Easy to do while there is only a few. You are not striking, you just need the camera's removed.

We can't do that. It would be a illegal strike.

We have to follow article 8 of the NMA.

If we just walked out we would lose and UPS would come after the teamsters for any lost revenue.
Ok, good luck getting any camera's removed. Maybe the camera's are illegal?

Most don’t understand wildcat strikes willl bankrupt the union. As well as give us little protection.
I understand the anger. I want them gone too. I understand wanting to strike also because it feels like the only real weapon we have but most don't know that it's in the national and supplemental agreements that we can't strike with out exhausting the grievance procedure first.

Not a strike. Just unhook the camera and we're good to go. Off load the truck, we'll wait.

Point is, you go ballistic from the get go. How long has it been now?
