Strike 2023

[Thebrownblob]

Feeders control our Local or at least used to. Ever wonder why Feeders never have any concessions?

We also have a very large feeder local.

We also have a very large feeder local.

Our Feeder department doesn't come close to having a majority but they have always had more influence in the Local. Not sure if it is the company or the Teamsters that split everyone up. Sure seems to be working in the companies best interest.

I always figured its cuz they go to the same chinese buffets as the union big wigs.

And the company big wigs.

I’ve never once been to a Chinese buffet with the union bigwigs. A few barbecue joints and a steakhouse perhaps.

And the company big wigs.

We don’t dine with swine

Feeders didn't have concessions in the last contract? Are you high?

If were really gonna strike we gonna need the guaged ears and colored hairs to make tok toks to get the public on our side.

On it

1997 strike lasted 15 days. I would assume a strike in 2023 wouldn't go much longer. Not even sure why we're talking about financial ruin. If you can't lose 2 paychecks, you need to reassess your life.

That said, I don't want to see a strike. Permanently losing a ton of business can't be good for growing the union.

I agree that part timers will probably get the better end of the deal with the next contract. As far as cameras go, they are already here. It’s going to be hard to get rid of them now being that it’s already an established practice. Same with 22.4’s. Honestly, I would be happy with a fair pay bump and leave my damn insurance alone.

Insurance is so important. Better than most peoples' anyway.

Let me tell you one thing. After strike of 97 it was very slow for a long time. So if you're on the bottom of the list it may be a long time before you come back.

My resentment is mostly just my manager TBH would like to see them squirm. But I agree going on strike would suck.

One of my concerns is that 22.4 will get the better end and PT shafted again but idk

We all know @bottomups is gonna bring blunts too!

Guess I'm gonna have to plant a bigger crop next year.

In my area a $500,000 house would be a McMansion. Some of you people could use a realty check and a financial advisor.

And follow the contract also...

Picnic breaks or we walk.

No turkey no workie

Every employer in the country would love to know where ups can find enough employees to keep the doors open much less have two to do the job of one. The company doesn't have the upper hand here, this place cant run without people and they are barely hanging on as is with staffing.

“Better not bigger” is corporate hyperbole for “ let’s pile on more work to our existing drivers and make Bigger profits”
No way this company can withstand a 2 week strike again and Carol knows it. We will have the public support.
Long work weeks
Very physical and mental job.
Daily harassment.
Working for a very vindictive management that would screw their on mothers over if brown said too.
Trust me a lot of people these days wouldn’t put up with all this crap even for what me make. Fact!
