I can’t keep quiet anymore

Nine months. Not too long but if you get sick or injured off the job in that time frame you’re screwed.

So the wait isn't "astronomical".
Okay. Carry on.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

We all showed up to work during a pandemic, risking our lives

LMFAO

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

Don't worry driving will be part time soon

It already is...

 

[Sacrificial Lamb]

Part time: sucks to be you. Can't put the genie back in the bottle.

Uh yeah you can. Just make 3 wishes. Jesus don't you know anything about genie's!

In part time years that’s considered a long time in these here parts, lol.

You know these part timers would waste the wishes on a new Hoodie, a new phone, and rims for that old Honda!

FTers already wasted their wishes on beards, tattoos and pink hair

Spoken like a true Californian.

LMFAO

Covid killed a part timer at my center.

Lol.

Just the type of response I’d expect from a Holocaust denier like you, Ye. Over 1 million Americans lost their lives from Covid.

Why should we even bargain for it? UPS is pretty much going to have to pay it anyway just to get people. This is the prevailing rate.

Drivers want more money, it would help if they stopped looking like a bunch of DHL rejects and homeless people.

[PreTrippin’]

People simply don’t want to do that kind of work and it doesn’t matter how much you pay them.

I disagree with you and I’d wager that many others do too on this point.

It seems a lot of people here on this thread are making assumptions about what “people” want. It’s not the 50s anymore. Many now are drawn to UPS because of how they sell part time then quit or move to full time when they realize what part time actually is.

 

[Commercial Inside Release]

Railroad workers now so angry, they're slamming train cars so loud it reverberates all night, back & forth across town.

I would say this is the result of the IBT's compromise at the expense of PTers (and at the cost of demanding FT jobs) 4 decades ago. People learned to justify it. Two-tier pay scales benefit the company and divide the union.

Hell, I already see it with 22.4s. Recently I was talking with a driver less than 5 years from retirement. He laid into 22.4s, insisting they all were a bunch of traitors who would cross the picket line if we struck. This same fellow had less than 5 years seniority in 1997 and he didn't cross the picket line ...

What? ??? 22.4s are traitors? Based on what?

Because we are Teamsters.

Maybe that wasn't clear. The 22.4 classification has further divided the union. I don't agree at all w the older driver, but he was convinced that 22.4s would cross picket lines en masse.

Boomer syndrome probably.
