Strike 2023

[PT Car Washer]

I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you have a weak local, if that’s the case that sucks. Six months is entirely too long, each side gets a postponement. Which at most should be two months for some sort of outcome or deadlock to the next level.

Long time Sec/Treasure retired early this year unexpectedly and the Hall has been in transition since.

I have a grievance that is supposed to be heard this afternoon that has been sitting for 6 months.

For what ?

Yeah.... 90 days.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

Sorry if you don't know sarcasm when you see it and taking statements out of context.

It wasn't out of context and you weren't being sarcastic. I can tell you're embarrassed though, so that's more than I expected from someone like you.

We’ve had people retire from my hall left and right, really no excuse for Non-representation. A decent executive board member would give a heads up many months in advance so that a replacement could be ready to go

@IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U would support his brothers.

Don't worry about the public supporting you. You are fighting for your life here (or at least to keep what others won for you). If the Company was hurting it "might" be different, but they continue to make money hand over fist by working you like dogs. Screw the public--99.9% of them don't give a rats butt about you or what goes on at UPS.

Most of them couldn’t do the job either, unless you’re talking about feeder, then that’s another story.

Amazon already has internal documents that they know they will have ran through all prospective employees in the next few years.

Most of their drivers are young and many look worse than fedex ground…I didn’t think that was even possible.

Yeah.... 90 days.

What year was that???

 

[JustDeliverIt]

What was last contracts strike vote? Like 25%? Not much of a threat and we got 22.4.

But look at last contract’s negotiators, that is why we have 22.4’s. They had the strike vote regardless of how many did vote and the company putting out a statement that they’re willing to go back to the table. Still chose to push it through.

Don’t think this leadership will do the same (not that they can with the change to the constitution), but they need every tool in the box. Strike authorization is just one of the tools.

Hearings canceled for today. Try again on Friday. This is the way it has been for 6 months.

I would be calling the president of the local or whoever the principal officer is and if no one wanted to give me any satisfaction I would either call the international or file labor board charges.

Can we get some type of time limit on grievances being settled in the next contract? I've been waiting 5 months for several grievances to settle

Unless it’s some sort of national grievance that’s been put on hold your business agent should’ve already tried to settle it locally or took it to a panel

Whoa! Don’t set that individual up to be targeted by the union too! That’s exactly the route I took and they deemed me a complaining troublemaker.

Probably better just to let happen whatever happens. Keep sending that money in tho because pay and benefits. All other rights are irrelevant

What type of grievances are they?

2 killed -67 wounded in Teamster strike of 1934 in Minneapolis / St. Paul. They fought for your benefits. Don't give it all up people.

Thanks @rod for putting it in perspective

Funny how we receive two totally different thoughts seeing that headline/pic.

I see absolute disrespect, spitting on members from what the union has turned into, after such sacrifices

Those men would’ve clubed you like a baby seal. You’re lucky things have changed.

Yep

 

[RTW FTW]

Yep

Those men would’ve. And I’d deserved it if I spoke this way about real leaders, that set real examples.

Today’s Schemesters couldn’t beat my meat

Unless the company requested them to, of course lol they’d get deployed straight out of that back pocket
