Raise in new contract

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Corporate won't have a job to come back to. The supply chain will be so clogged up that my guess is we'll be busier than we've ever been to unclog it

Or we may lose some of our premium business to other carriers

It's a big chess match right now

I was a 4 year driver in 97. Mortgage, 2 car payments, 1 in daycare and 1 on the way. It was scary but necessary for our wellbeing.

Not much different here my friend
I was just sole provider from my household I had a mortgage car payment and all the other bills go on with it and two small children

I'm about the same boat as you are in I just don't want to go on the street for the fact of the younger members may not have a job to come back to

that is exactly why we strike- short term pain long term improvement

A strike is the last resort if it comes down to that

I would find it comical to see a bunch of fat out of shape scabs trying to deliver apartments in the August Heat. Somebody likely dies

My center manager?

My center manager?

Mine is actually pretty cool. He would most likely spend most of his time filling out work comp paperwork

They just have never paid over a buck and it’s always the .70, .75, .80, .90, and 1.00 song and dance…we should be getting 1.50 an hour and that’s probably the lowest I would want to see. They have had multiple “cost neutral” contracts in the past so some of the bean counters are going to have coronaries when O’Brien shows the company financial wants.

They’re gonna have to suck it up because no way does this contract pass without getting us over $50 an hour.

How about is that less raises and more of an pension increase?

I'm never one to be greedy, but the company got more than a 150% raise with the pandemic and inflation. That wouldn't bother me so much if we were treated appropriately during that time...we weren't. Then the BS they've pulled this year since peak, these guys.

I don't think I deserve 150% or anything crazy, I'd be content with $7/hr over the life of the contract with substantial HWP contributions, but I'm not sure I'm going for anything less than $3/hr wage increase Aug 1. I'll look at the whole contract, of course, but that's where I've settled my starting point.

Let’s not forget that in many buildings across the country they have made that profit by forcing drivers in six-days a week! Disgraceful!

It would work except for the vast number of our members who have forgotten the concept of Brotherhood.

Everybody talking about wages, pension, but at my building it better not be at the expense of not fixing six punch. Everybody talking about everybody is in this together but this is bad!
