[30 to life]

Its interesting this comes down right after the contract has been ratified. hmmmmmm

Ratified by hoffa

Sometimes, I have to readjust my attitude by remembering where I came from and be thankful for a job (that we all break our backs to keep prosperous) like few others in the USA.

Exactly!!
Some upsers just can't seem to step outside their little box and see how much worse it could be.

After reading this it is all clear.

It was The day after thanksgiving that did us in.
Not the shippers shipping double what they said they would.
Not UPS management not have a ship by date.

Not UPS management telling customers sure ship all the NDA you want the weekend before Christmas.

No its all clear now, it was not working Black Friday.

You forgot the weather in your list of red herrings.

you are an idiot.you must be a yes man

When did we have Holidays on the negotiating table! Like I said, the most dumb post. It would have been more intelligent if you posted,"fudtdhdrvxfcgdffcsdzjjgh"


Where are you pigs now?

 

[Big Bad Wolf]

If we all stick together and not look out for ourselves we would have a stronger union and maybe have Friday off after thanksgiving

So when were you preaching about stronger holiday language? Uh, never!! Way to drop the ball.


Where are you pigs now?

Why didn't you say so in the first place?

 

[AKupser]

How can you ask for that. It's six months away. They have to tell you eight days in advance and vise versa.

We can choose our floaters in Feb if we want to lock in a specific date.

Looks like we can add this to the long list of things these bastids have taken from us. I wonder if Scotty boy will be in his browns to help out as needed.

And once they take something away........
Do I even need to finish that thought?

 

[ZQXC]

Expect the next announcement to be: All Saturdays during December will be a regular workday if you have 4 or more DOT hours left after clocking out on Friday.

 

[ZQXC]

No " I'm going to be noble and sign up for Friday so a junior driver with kids can have the day off" speech this year?

Apparently not......

Way back in pre-history when I started, we worked the Friday after Thanksgiving. We also got our birthday off. Sometime in the early 80's, we lost our birthday and in exchange got that Friday.

.

I have to address the B-day day off. A birthday is meaningless for anyone over the age of 12-15. Every single person has a birthday. The likes of Jeffrey Dahmer and Charles Manson all have birthdays. Adam Carolla has hit the nail on the head. We should have an achievement day. A day where you made a big achievement. It would change as you get older if you had bigger achievements. Birthday is just a day your mom squeezed all of us out.

Hoffa has a new achievement day. The day he screwed a good percentage of the union members by forcing a contract.

When Thanksgiving Day also bites the dust in 2015, we won't have any need for the turkeys that were previously taken away. See how neatly it all fits together.

 

[kingOFchester]

My understanding is that we will be required to work on Black Fridays when it falls on a Friday after Thanksgiving.

 

[cachsux]

I'm not going to work Black Friday because that's the white mans invention to keep us workin while he sits at home eating leftovers.

Hoffa has a new achievement day. The day he screwed a good percentage of the union members by forcing a contract.

Very small percentage.

[kingOFchester]

Very small percentage.


Where are you pigs now?

Yes, I should of been more clear. A HIGH percentage of members in my local.

Your statement may have merit if not for the fact that the turkeys were distributed in late December.

The Union cannot tell the company how to run their business.

 

[HEFFERNAN]

Trust me, I LOVED not working Black Friday.

That being said, the amount that I get paid to come in that day will increase 2 numbers
The numbers in my paycheck and the numbers in my route's overallowed

CA-CHING

UPS couldn't even get that right; Should have been at Thanksgiving all along.
