They’re asking to be struck. They want to give us AC and better 9.5 and 8 hour penalties and make us pay for it? No way in hell. No Raise No Contract.

My job is fun
They can keep the ac for all I care. Give me a big vent in the cargo area and $10 raise and I am good. Not to much to ask for

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
They’re gonna keep PVDs is my prediction. They’ll be limited to peak and only a certain percentage but we will have PVD drivers.
No reason to have PVDs on there right? That's a strike issue no if ands or buts.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
That’s worse than PVD’s. No 2 tier FT

IMO, 22.4 is a more important issue. Limit PVD would probably be ok, depending on language, but 22.4 is an abomination.

$10 would be nice. We had a company in our local sign a contract with 24% in raises over 5 years. The economy demands it.
But it sounds like UPS is playing hard ball with pay because they know if we go on strike they can say we gave them AC and all this other stuff and they turned it down.
I think 22.4s is a given but they want to see what if the other issues is most important to us.

It’s probably the one place they feel they can get public support. Think they may be surprised if we simply frame it as company profits up 100%. Wages less than inflation.

I knew the AC was a trick. Mothers are gonna low ball now.

Someone needs to make a video showing how much UPS employees rent has gone up, housing costs, gas, food, etc. Compare that with how much their pay has gone up. Especially part timers. I think that would get public support.

I wanted it to not be trick. But if they are that stupid, like O Brien says, UPS is gonna strike themselves.

They were always gonna low ball. Like they do every time.

Now they think they have an issue to generate sympathy with.

If they do it again somebody needs to let loose the worse smelling fart spray that money can buy!

Bully.
Especially part timers? You mean ONLY part timers. UPSers' rent hasn't gone up, the country's rent has gone up. No one gonna feel bad for a $130k truck driver paying higher rent when the median American household is at $70k.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
Especially if they think you’re riding in AC all day, like a fat feedah drivah.

Thing is they don’t realize SOB don’t give a flying
if they gain sympathy or not. He’s been nothing if not up front and clear about what our expectations are and how negotiations will work.He’s not doing this we start at A they start at Z and we meet at M. He’s starting at K and you better come back close to it. Or nothing will happen until you do.

Well that’s sad at a time when the whole country is getting screwed and it seems like we’re the only ones fighting for our wages.
