PRAYING FOR A STRIKE IN AUGUST !!!

[Wit Cho Yo Goofass]

Welp, I just let a few of my fellow teamsters brothers & sisters know the update. It’s gonna be an interesting day tomorrow, thats for sure.

What is the probability of the Prez saying we cannot strike as it would interrupt the tansportation of goods, medicine folks need, etc?

The prez had best not interfere or side with UPS or we'll send some teamster thugs to unionize all his hotels.

 

[1989]

What 2 tier ft wages ?

Art 22 and driver wages

Failing multi-employer or pensions in general.... aren't isolated to UPS.

It was a genius plan to stike over a failing pension.

 

[BrownArmy]

Not going to happen

Hard to say, I can see him pulling that kind of nonsense.

He's not a fan of Unions.

 

[Chester]

Weak statement from a weak minded little turd.

You obviously have no clue of what's going , let the grown folks handle this , better yet , just sit in the truck .

 

[BigUnionGuy]

Art 22 and driver wages

You can't compare the two. They are 2 different job classifications.

It would be like comparing pkg and feeders.

Are you talking about R Carey ?

Or something current ?

How about Art 22.3 and red circle PT wages? Do the same job for a whole lot less money but are considered FT employees.

That's actually a valid point.

But.... how many pre-82 red circled employees are still left ?

The issue is being diminished through attrition. It's only a matter of time.

All 3 are ft jobs. Feeders and pkg have similar pay. (About a .76 differential here)

I am talking about the concessions that we went on strike to get.

Just like the soon to be red circle package delivery jobs. But don't worry, you will still make your top rate just like me.

 

[BigUnionGuy]

You're going to have to be more specific.

Are you talking about 1997 ?

Just like the soon to be red circle package delivery jobs.

That's speculation.

The best job a full-time.... pre-82 red circled employee could bid ??

22.3 air-combo. Think about it.

[beatupbrown]

If the strike happens have all the disabled UPS drivers show up and drink Kool aid with govt cheese.

 

[Spicybrother]

UPS is like Fat Bastard. Every time you turn your back, tryin to steal something off ya plate! Only solution is put punch em in da mouth with a strike.

 

[SanguiniusII]

If we strike I at least get to sleep in for a while.

You would still take a cut in pay for the air driving half.

 

[I think I'm lost]

Sorry for what your wife (cancer?) and you are going through. I know you've had the conversation about medical. We have a 3 yr old with respiratory crap going on(underdeveloped larynx)since birth (96 day preemie). Fortunately, when Jack was born, I was working for UPS and due to the medical insurance they provide we didn't owe nothing above our $500 yearly out of pocket expenses (per family member) to cover expenses.
I have a hard time complaining about wages, treatment, demands, medical, management, hours, green light messages, stupid updates on near misses and crashes in "our division" when, theoretically, a person with a high school diploma can get hired and make a decent living at this job.
I'm content with what I earn and the benefits me and my family receive. I'm not content on the political party my union gives my dues to, though. Yes, I'm in the union, but it wouldn't take a whole lot to drop out and exercise my "right to work" status in the state I reside.

You do realise that not one penny of your dues go towards supporting any political party, right? That's what DRIVE is for.

Don't ever let the facts get in the way of a good story, I guess.

 

[Indecisi0n]

Strike strike strike

What’s up bud.... ??
