Repercussions for crossing a picket line?

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

When we have a customer on strike we hold all the packages and they can come pick them up if they want them.

When Verizon was on strike,they was furious we wouldn't deliver to them.

There won't be a strike. Too many young people could care less about tomorrow and need to pay their bills today.

Perhaps, but it should be noted the ones complaining the loudest are the youngest. If they’re not willing to step up to secure their future, I don’t know what to tell you.

Honestly I think some of the younger employees are the ones that are more disgruntled

When I was a young driver, I never once thought. Hey, it’s 5 o’clock why am I still working? After 5 o’clock these new drivers start getting pissed thinking we have bankers hours. Hey, that’s fine I suppose but you better be ready to put up a fight for yourself because it’s not my job to fight all your battles.

If he worked one Saturday a month he could biy a new chainsaw every month

We can honor picket lines because it’s in our contract. Unfortunately and shockingly not every teamster contract has that.

The IAM master has language that we cant be disciplined for crossing. That shop went rogue, probably a weak RTW local, maybe their BA did not know or was told they were going to cross anyway. Hell they may have even not been members.

I'm not expecting you to tell me anything.
Complaining is one thing. Thinking your way through it into a positive solution is another. Unless you're predisposed to being a whiner.

We were discussing people who may or may not be willing to fight to get what they deserve, ie strike if necessary. In 1997 I did just that, fought for a full-time job. I was willing to go as long as necessary. With the understanding that the job was no longer worth having if the company had their way, completely. Those that not willing will get what the company wants to give them but, will constantly complain. I don’t know you, I don’t know if that pertains to you, it wasn’t in reference directly to you. I it was a general statement in reference to someone saying, he thought Many would cross the picket line, because they need the money.

Strike fund from day one will help alleviate some of that.

Yep, I believe so. Still about 5% of the package car drivers not in the union where I am.

Everyone has a half year save up.
