Huge Strike Fund….NOT

[Thebrownblob]

Probably nothing if an agreement is reached.
If you strike, you will not be receiving benefits, or accruing time for seniority or PTO.
You will have health insurance, but you will be responsible for its full cost (unless the employer, such as in a new contract or otherwise settling the strike, agrees to retroactively count the time out on strike as time employed for some or all purposes).

If you don’t know what you’re talking about why don’t you quit spreading BS?

Are people really taking this troll thread seriously?

No. Just board waiting for a feeder

@I GOT ONE MORE has been on here for a few months spreading nonsense, and miss information. Most likely a bitter former hourly or a management person who got screwed and wants everyone to be as miserable as he is.

If you strike

Don't you mean.... If we strike ?

 

[BigUnionGuy]

Do you have to show up to the picket line?

Yep.

Gotta pull (daily) strike duty.

And trust me.... it will be meticulously documented.

Don't care about him, but for folks who legitimately had stuff scheduled a bit of a bummer

I hear you on that.

It's not like members haven't had any sort of advance warning.... before scheduling any other plans.

Just say'n.

Working in a large Hub operation, we did not have daily strike duty. I think I was scheduled twice for strike duty but attended all of the rallies.

In 1997? I don’t remember, I don’t think we had assigned duties, but everyone came daily, even though there was really no pay.

No, I think he's a polo punk

More misinformation or is it miss information??
LOL

I believe some of you (or we) are starting to worry/wonder about your livelihoods.

So what do you get in strike fund money this time compared to the 55 dollars a week we got in 97. I hear it's actually a liveable amount.

The $150 is in addition to the strike pay from the national.

You’re an idiot, in1997 I went back to work as a part timer, the next year I doubled my yearly income double shifting as much as I wanted. In 2000 I was offered one of the 22.3 jobs that were won in the 97 contract. The same day I was offered a driver position. Took the drivers position, and it has been steady wage growth. None of that would’ve been possible without the union pushing the company. Keep spreading your BS.

Yes, we pay extra each check ($1.00) to help fund the other fund we have access to

Some people have a local strike fund or are in another fund like the Ohio fund.

Ok

If you get over $600

Unfortunately, every dollar you receive as strike pay is taxable as earned income. The union is not required to issue a 1099 unless they pay out $600 or more, but according to the tax law, it is all taxable in the eyes of the government for us commoners. If you check your tax software, the answer is: "Yes. The IRS requires that you report all of your income, even if it's less than $600 and you didn't get a tax form for it."

Probably right, but the strike fund is only $350 million. Sounds like a lot, and it is.
With 340,000 employees with varying scales of pay, the strike fund is depleted within 2 1/2, three weeks tops.
