Strike Fund

[Bubblehead]

$700 a week? How much are your dues? I believe we'll be around $530 a week.

My local has a very healthy strike fund of its own

The Ohio Conference has a supplemental strike fund that kicks in a maximum extra benefit of $200 a week.

Hot dog coffers are filled, need to upgrade to brats.

Will ups pay extra to cross the picket line?

If I recall correctly they issued you a check for like 55 bucks then turned around and charged you something like 65 bucks to keep your insurance up to date. Something like that. Anyway you ended up in the hole.

That was over 25 years ago ... 65 bucks a week could provide good healthcare, now it is over 500 a week.

The maximum for our strike fund is $250 a week

All teamcare participants, who do not cross a picket line in the event of a strike, will have their benefits paid.

25 years ago, the international union was completely broke. That is not the case now, currently we have a healthy strike fund. Hoffa gets lot of grief much of it deserved, but when it comes to our strike fund, he did a good job.

A lot of good posts in this thread! Also, what is going on with the one-year campaign? The last time I heard from the teamsters it was for the survey. What is their plan for December?

If they gave me $100 an hour I’d finally run scratch.

1 vote for taking lazy part timers out of the strike fund! More for us. Less for them!

It is fun to joke about this but the reality is that UPS is likely more prepared for August first than the IBT is. I'm sure my fans will weigh in...

How's that ?

There is no chance they could replace their entire workforce and continue operating.

Yes, I’m sure they’re prepared. Just like they were today for the beginning of peak as we left thousands of packages in the building.
