That sounds good to me. Raise the wage of part time jobs and create more full time jobs because people will still want the hours and it will be cheaper for the company to pay a long term full time worker who knows what they’re doing instead of 2 or 3 part time workers that come and go within a year like they do now
Ya I was just throwing out a guess that Sean wants 25. I think 20-25 is reasonable. $20 is a 30% increase to the starting wage.
He's the new guy, gotta prove his worth. We just picked a fight with the biggest dude on the cell block. They're in the second round, and both are starting to get winded.
I heard they are. Granted, it’s all hearsay at this point. It’s the typical I heard from a guy who heard from a guy that union negotiators were told to start booking flights. We’ll see one way or another.
Be surprised if we have a handshake deal by August 1st and we still walk, I realize what he said but I’d be surprised. It would be the way to lose public support, which we now have, very rapidly.You clearly don't understand how this works. He hasn't extended anything, we walk Aug 1, that's the deadline, it's always been the deadline. He asked for the LBFO when they weren't willing to budge, so as to get thiscontract offer proposed and then deny it. Then negotiations broke down on the 5th, neither of these are an extention.
What part exactly?
If the O’Brien has gotten everything he’s asked for there’s no reason to walk, it would be silly.
Sure hire more people to bitch and moan how working 3.5 hours is so hard and unfair. Sounds like a plan lol.
Not by Aug 1, and I would guess the same voting method would be highly questionable and legally challenged by the company if the contract(s) were to be voted down by a narrow margin. The strike auth vote was such a haphazard way of getting it done, but everyone knows its going to be overwhelmingly approved so no one really cared.
When he said we won't work beyond Aug 1 without a RATIFIED contract in place.
Not long ago in a pcm I brought up the real possibility. Reminded everyone what I said 2 years ago about saving. I pointed out the guy who will probably be the top driver laid off after a strike, there were a lot of blank faces when I looked at the guys below him.
Even @MECH-II might start working Saturdays
Yeah, but the health of the economy trumps everything, and a strike would be very bad for the economy. Yes, Amazon is the main reason for all the focus on the PT, however I think he’s still going to have a hard time selling over $20 hr for the PT to the public when they have a full benefit pkg.(if that is the only reason for the strike, which very well could trigger a response from Biden) there’s just not a lot of PT anywhere getting full benefit pkg. That being said, we just have to vote down what we don’t want. We know how
ty it is to work there, and all have an idea what we are worth, and we just need to communicate that, stick together, and let the chips fall where they may. I’ve changed my tune a little bit on this subject just because it is the best way to get what everyone wants, and the most leverage we will have in quite some time probably.
