PRAYING FOR A STRIKE IN AUGUST !!!

[UnionStrong]

Buddy. Well it’s going be funny when y’all start to perp for a strike, but then it gets called off 3hrs before the start.


“No toting the line today, buddy. You better get them packages moving and don’t give me lip.”
Is what you will hear me saying.
I love being a PT sup.

You’re a troll

How long can these snowflakes hold out?

Parents pay at least one monthly bill for 40 percent of millennials

In a new survey, two-fifths of millennials say their parents still pick up one or more of their monthly bills. And the most common parental subsidy is the largest: housing. Twenty-four percen…

If they live at home, pretty much forever after the F150 gets towed.

I’m just a PT sup… I don’t know what MIP or turkey you are referring to.

You would think that damn turkey was made of gold. Work 30 mins and go buy a giant turkey. I don't need a pat on the head from a company that hates me.

Driver in back will recieve a warning letter for following too closely and failure to communicate in traffic by not using horn. Driver in front will lose job and permanent license suspension for improper pretrip (passenger side mirror broken) and for never passing ODOT physical.

Failure to follow instructions
Back in the day we were encouraged not to wear seat belts and there were no laws about them
#4 would stand just inside the bulkhead
Door open of Course

I was never myself encouraged to not wear one nor ever heard of another driver told as much.
Also, although it may not have been a law on the books, since I have been driving I was always told to wear one (UPS law).

Would also be a major safety issue to not only the person standing but to myself as well.

So I will repeat again, truck would not have moved.

I remember the pre-backup camera method for backing being sticking one's head out the door and backing up.

I'll pass on that as well. I had a space n vis ride recently and sup told me to pull in my drivers side mirror on the busy streets when parked and I just laughed at him and said not happening.
Only time something of mine pokes out of the truck is when my entire body leaves the passenger side for deliveries and pickups.

Have been told to do so many a times but always refuse, never written up for it.

The move to make is push the bracket all the way forward, then reorient into the "supervisor adjusted position". You are using the foward front window to see. By doing that the mirrors stick out the same forward or back! Drives sups crazy, lol!

Hello all , I'm no different than any of you guys other than I got big cojones (just a personal observation of my 43 year old self ) . Proud to be a 25 year full time Teamster (shifter) and a 24 year Steward at Local 480 (White's Creek) . My brothers and I walked the line in 97 , beat on scabs trailers , blocked supervisors from driving into our hub , tossed nails into the entrance to flatten tires , slingshot wheel bearings at the bright flood lights the company positioned into place to watch us picketing , drank plenty of adult beverages , grilled out and ate well in our makeshift camps etc. etc. . I could only imagine the fun we would have this go around , "IF" we are ordered to strike . Of course I already gave a big "YES" vote to the recently mailed out strike authorization, without that we don't give our representatives any leverage at all , it's like showing up to a gunfight , with no bullets or gun and blindfolded . Personally I do not wish for a strike , unfortunately the company we work for , with all their unreasonable numbers they put on us from unloading packages, Orion, idle times , backing , air , etc etc are incredibly unrealistic forced on us by nerds in cubicles at corporate in Atlanta who have never performed any of these jobs physically (Tetris on your kids IPAD does not count as loading a trailer IMHO.) Striking atleast once in a career UPSer should be a necessary requirement , for the simple fact of showing what actual "UNITY" can achieve ,and yes I do agree the 97 strike did not achieve much , but it did show the company and us Teamsters as well that the consequences can be devastating (losing customers ,revenue,trust etc etc) . But now is the time to get the most bang for our buck ,meaning the company has invested BILLION$$$$ into our infrastructure with planes , tractors , package cars and let's not forget all the new Hubs and expansions to existing hubs like my own hell hole (White's Creek Nashville Tennessee). We have their backs to the wall . With a nationwide shortage of CDL licensed drivers , the company's rigorous package car numbers/expectations ,not to mention the "failure to launch MELINNIUAL Generation kids , the company will be hurting for reliable licensed folks to run our loads/routes which are already hard,unreasonable ,unrealistic to begin with . Also but lets not forget the more important aspect of with President Trumps tax cuts to big business , other company's AT&T , Boeing ,Wal Mart (long list , Google it ) most of those company's gave out bonuses to their employees and made the public they were doing so and pointing out Trumps tax cuts was the sole reason why , meanwhile U.P.S is projected to gain/net a "6" "SIX" BILLION DOLLAR profit this year and has not done shyt for us ,but will regularly say that they cannot give out those perks all the other company's are doing simply because our "contract/UNION "prevents them from doing so , (WHICH IS TOTALLY FALSE ,just factually speaking , without any stipulations our Locals would never ,ever turn down any "bonuses,jobs (preferably full time) or anything that would be rewarding , WTH, we can't even get turkeys or shotguns anymore (yes shotguns,they were gifted back in the day ,some of y'all will dispute this but they did let employees pick those out as retirement or some sort of milestone type of reward, but oh well ). So yes , let's kick their ass , we should cease the moment , DON'T BE SKEERED !!! . My personal advice is have atleast a minimum of "3" weeks pay put back in savings , do not schedule any medical procedures or appointments during the first 2 weeks of August 2018 (my wife has postponed a major cancer preventative surgery ,in which she currently does not have cancer ,but did test positive for tge gene , but its nit immanent and we can put it on hold , sorry TMI,just didnt want folks to get the wrong idea . But an infection or setback during a strike with no insurance could be financially catastrophic (keep in mind not all regions insurances are the same , some regions might cover their members during a strike , others might not , call your Local Business agent and check) . Basically just have your bases covered . Sorry so long , rant over. One love , Unity , Be strong ,be proud ,be a Teamster !!!!!

How you can’t afford 25% of your monthly income to rent is beyond me

 

[BrownFlush]

They always told me if your house payment and car payment equaled 50% of your monthly income, you'd be fine.
This worked for me and a lot of people I knew.

I think that is the old-school thinking but now people have cell phone service and a subscription to 20 different things that come out monthly but they don’t pay attention to that is eating there monthly income away. Not saving any money anymore.

What kind of landlord will even accept a tenant who is barely able to afford rent? I certainly don’t allow that. 30% has been the maximum forever, if you can’t afford 1k a month for rent in jersey you are doing something VERY WRONG!
