Sean O'Brien Slams UPS Plan for 70-hour Work Week

[Turdferguson]

Spend all year complaining about leaving the building late.


Finally have the chance to leave the building early and everybody refuses. Well okay then.

Harp and complain that we need sales leads because we are losing volume. Get volume and can't handle or process it because of management incompetence...well okay then

If that's truly the case (and it isn't), how is it only possible during Peak?

Doesn't make much sense, does it?

Cuz your company is acting dickish.

I would think a far more effective statement would have been made if all of the drivers were directed to show up in street clothes on a Saturday morning.

Unfortunately you are correct

I know I am...

Sean O’Brien letter to Congress and the federal motor carrier safety committee

He’s doing more than that fat friend Hoffa....maybe he’s trying to make points with members for a gp run, but at least he’s trying to step up and show some pushback....

 

[Coldworld]

If Sean and another well known person (maybe someone that ran against Hoffa) teamed up, Canada won’t be an issue.

Especially if this up coming contract is a bust....

Man, what a dumb thing to do. Here is what the public is thinking:

"All they do is ride around in a truck all day, they make enormous money, UPS gives them a helper for Peak..... and they complain about it!"

Not necessarily....my wife heard about this from one of her friends who is also a driver... my wife said “friend that, what a bunch of asholes.. totally unacceptable “..!!!” I have heard my wife drop the friend bomb only a couple times in the 20+ years I have known her....she was fired up!!! Lmao

Looks like a strike line to me.....

 

[Coldworld]

Oooo .... somebody must have saw boys in the hood last night and g'd up

It’s about time someone lit a fire under his ass... but I really doubt anything will become of this

That I do not know but I would assume so.

They can “step up” and see how easy this job is... let them be a helper for a week... see how long they last...

No, just a parking lot meeting before regular start time. Then we walked in together as one.

Awareness, solidarity and To show the company that if they want to be shady and change the rules, that the Teamsters can also follow the rules as negotiated in our collective bargaining agreement. And by doing that, it did not farewell to the production of that day.
