Non-union Amazon has higher starting wages with similar and a few better benefits than unionized UPS....this is what will break the union

They only have 25 years left on their 30 or mortgage on a house that they bought 35 years ago.....

They like toys

And another loophole you have to watch what company matches is many companies want you to be there x amount of years or they take a percentage of their contributions back

It’s called “Vesting” and very standard for Fortune 1000+ companies.

But lots of people don't read the fine print.


Just like our contract they look at the raises and they don't read anything else

I’m amazed at that.
Those details are usually up front at least everywhere I’ve ever worked.
Never as a union member though.

That's another thing it really ticks me off.
You hear all these people crying boo hoo This local is fighting for a better contract so nobody else gets their raises.

Makes me sick

When I first started I was only concerned with the per hr money too.

I believe you, I’m just surprised that people don’t realize they have to stay for awhile to get the $ the company is giving them.

Members to sorry to vote for a negotiated contract.
A sad commentary (as always) for members. The lack of solidarity has always been celebrated by the company.

It has always been that way...members have just given up...

It is just not the teamsters... the two Unionists candidates are running for an office that pays under 400,000 a year ... the CEOs of most American Corporations clear that in a week..

The labor laws have been inadequate, and the Unions has been neutered thru corruption and greed...the Corporations will always have the final say..just follow the politics in Washington on both sides and see where their priorities are, it is all about power and the money and guess who has that advantage.

It's the new generation instant gratification.
Yes of course everyone want wants to make more money but you got to look at the entire package.

 

[sailfish]

If you're making 16 $18 an hour can you really afford to put away $10,000 a year?

That'd be incredibly difficult at $18 let alone $16.
