Have we had a strike authorization vote since 2003?

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Our local gave a 72 hour strike notice last year, it definitely had an impact.

You may see some more locals doing that this time.

I really doubt the authorization means anything to UPS especially with Taylor running negotiations. A lot of tough strike talk on here, I’m just curious what everyone will do for insurance? Don’t tell me you’ll use Cobra either.

Teamcare will cover you in the event that we go on strike. Thats one of the perks of Teamcare.

Well they did make $2 billion last year so they can definitely afford it, can also afford to give retirees free insurance they deserve.

Good for you, and the members of your Local.

Paying 9.5 grievances.... was only meant to be a temporary fix.

When will we at least find out the results of the strike authorization?

Always vote in support of a strike authorization, even if you don't want the strike.

If the union goes into the late-July negotiations without the strike authorization, all the power goes to the company.

Maybe you should run for steward?

Maybe he should just appoint himself Sec Treasurer, then appoint himself steward. Sounds like there isn't anyone around in his center. I wonder if they still collect dues from that center?

What is the process of a strike authorization?
How long after it is sent out will be know if we are going on strike or not?

It was just a vote by ballot. They'll probably have a big meeting in some sort a town hall meeting setting (Maybe not in your case).
It gives Hoffa the authorization to call a strike. In essence, it put Hoffa on the same level has UPS's management. A bunch of authority, bottom line.

I know this is a stupid question, but have you ever heard of the internet?

You're right, that is a stupid question. Have you ever heard of just answering a question? Maybe just giving someone some information?

I'm pretty sure I did answer his question.
