Yup- not the first time that has happened and the place keeps on running.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.

No they won't replace entire workforce. But they have feeders pretty well covered with Coyote and whatever scabs the union has allowed to steal our work for the last several years. And while the PAL system on preload isn't perfect it certainly has made it easier to replace current loaders. Delivery is obviously the most difficult part but they have certainly been allowed to scab that out the last several years. Not saying UPS will "beat" your amazing union, but at least they have been preparing. Less than a year out we are hearing from the great union we should save a little money. Lol.

It will be the Company’s decision if they are willing to have a strike or lock out...I personally do not see any major conflicts with this 2023 Contract.. 22.4’s easy solution... subcontracting easy solution....starting wages and raises with COLA in place easy solution. O’Brien is really not asking for much..just trying to get rid of previous concessionary language...
The facts are there.. this Company continues to profit... their stock value had almost doubled since this pandemic, the stockholders are happy at the way it is going...why act stupid now?

I actually talked to Killmury about the 97 strike fund. She was a VP to Ron Carey at the time.
She told me they lied to them about how much money was in the strike fund back then. I do believe the strike fund is fully funded at this point though.

But many things are the same as 1997
Many members have a good reason to be upset
Especially the part-timers and the 22.4 drivers

I really wouldn't want to do UPS all over again.

No you are right on that!
I was just stating back in 97 the strike fund was close to non existent
That 50 bucks a week didn't even pay for my beer money

It might of been one of the reasons the Company made a grab for our pensions back in “97”. I recall during the “93” talks they initially try to do the same thing...at that time the Central was only paying about 1,500 for a 30 year pension.
I am pretty sure the International raised our Union dues back in 2008 in order to provide additional funding into their strike funds.

Or perhaps do the fiduciary really smart thing and hold onto it for five years and grow it.

When a teamster retires give them back what they paid in.

No, buy UPS stocks and collect dividends.
