Never thought of it like that, but I imagine this will be my last contract.

His name is @over9five and he’s a cruiseaholic. He has to feed his habit.
He has a big fat belly....I'm sure he's in that big fat New England pension fund. He's set for life.
Same here

Have fun striking. I’ll be working at my side gig. Don’t hit me up for Money.

Well, I hope it's the last one for both of you.
If you're low on seniority and we go on strike, that may be your new permanent job
This will definitely be last and final contract that I ever vote on.

I probably have like 30 people under me. I think I’ll be ok.
After strike of 97 things were slow for quite a long time.
If you vote for a strike make it worthwhile that's all I can tell you.

I’m pretty anti strike tbh. I’ll wait and see what happens.

Things are never going to be ideal. Does that mean strike? Not today. How can it possibly be justified when we make 50-100% more than our counterparts over at FedEx, Amazon, and Post Office? It would be like the WNBA striking because they don't make what the NBA makes.
I understand people are mostly talking about other issues rather than compensation. And yes, things need to be addressed. If we want to threaten a strike for leverage, fine. But everyone knows we can't actually strike under these conditions.
At UPS, some things will never change. It will never be a 40 hour job. We'll never have AC in the trucks. It'll always be tough, physical work. Don't like it? Every building has an exit.

Just vote with the facts and not your mother
Look at the entire package, that's all I can tell you
Well the company's making record profits and they beat the living crap out of every employee during a pandemic
But they did find a way to give the supervisors some extra boneless pay, a bigger and my pee bonus and jack up the dividends by 1.5 billion dollars a year to the shareholder's
Don't cry for right now cuz it's not going to happen

We want the company to make record profits. What should probably be a priority is using those profits to replacing extremely outdated centers across the country. Seems that most of them are undersized and obsolete. It's going to take decades to replace a good portion of them, how about they start at some point?
Just like we don't have enough package cars

Yup that's a never ending issue. I have to say, that my center has replaced half our fleet in the last 5 years, which is the best turnover rate I've ever seen. We did have a very old fleet before that desperate of new pkg cars. Got rid of the last manual a couple of years ago.
We have two manuals left
