We shouldn't have to figure a way to extract another 400.00 from UPS. Our Union negotiating team should of never agreed to us paying a dime while the Company fat cats brag about their billions while sailing the Caribbean in their yachts. Oh.....and great advice, get the members to steal time to make up the 400.00.
"Kenny" has been negotiating us backwards.
We work for a Company that makes Billions! We are the reason they do. 90,000. Is peanuts to what we should be making. Just because you are a truck driver doesn't mean that you shouldn't be compensated at a level that is reflective of how profitable our Company is. We don't work in Freight, there was never a reason for our negotiators to give any concessions or give backs. Concessions have to be given to failing companies like YRC in order for them to survive. We are not freaking Freight, nor will we ever be. Our company will continue to thrive, you go ahead and be happy with your 90,000, while supervisors and managers are over compensated and do nothing. Geez. ....it is like talking to management.
$25 million a year to play baseball sounds pretty good to me as well.
Don't you get it? No matter what the IBT does there are goofballs that are going to say it isn't enough. They want more. They want to take and take and take until there is nothing left. UPS is making profits now and they want to take those profits until they're gone. In 10 years (if that long) when UPS is in financial trouble they (goofballs) will say that the union screwed them. These people don't look at what it cost to ship a package FedEx, USPS, Amazon and all the regional carriers. It's less money and the time in transit is faster, in some cases than UPS. It kills me how some loser who can't get the respect of the members in his local time after time of running in an election and another one who doesn't have the balls to put his name in the hat criticize the IBT people who are doing a good job. We have it so good at UPS that these bozo's are concerned about package cars without a shoulder belt and changing the structure of a vehicle which could make it more dangerous. Or how they are worried about socks. They can't find anything else to complain about because they have it so good.
Finally you are correct with something! Yes, we want more and more and as long as UPS is making record profits we want our fair share and our elected officials will get it or we will send them back to their freight trucks. Which is one of our problems, there shouldn't be one freight person sitting on panels or our negotiating committees. I love our Freight members but let's face it! Their culture is concessinary and they are on the average, less educated and far less workers. We need aggressive, smart, educated UPSERS to fight the good fight against the corporate beast!
The only thing I can say is thank you for proving my point.
I agree with you. Some others have no concept of reality.
I get copies of all of the dockets and decisions, and certain cases catch my eye.
Is this really Donald Trump posting?
But you're OK with a former Carhaul Director?
Wow, from that train wreck of a post, I'm guessing you're not on MENSA's short list.
Now I know Why you HIDE behind a screen name.
You are as clueless as you have ever been
Dinosaurs, they are Bubblehead. Our Union will never grow with these types of clowns running our Union.
Tyrannosaurs, that easily eat little pigs in a single bite...
Like I said before they are no nothing losers. I know plenty of intelligent freight people.
Yeah. Everyone qualifies everytime they go thru their 30 day qualification period.
I'm not being sarcastic with this question but what would a good contract look like to you? How much in raises? How much in benefits should be paid by ups? What will give the union the owner that you want?
Is that under 17a?
