Strike in August, what say you?

[cosmo1]

I'm all for a strike.....I just don't see a reason for one. Especially if your trying to strike for higher wages.

Just wondered. It's newer drivers like you who will be impacted the most.




Even if you cross.

A strike, if it were to happen, would not be about wages.

 

[MyTripisCut]

Probably still wouldn't be enough for you. I'm curious. Have you worked at any other jobs in your life?

Several. And I went to college as well. Didn’t start here til later in life.

What would you suggest we strike for that, somehow, isn't money related?

7 day work week
70hr work week
Benefits, maybe but probably not.
Pension is hit it miss. I'm young so I'm not counting on it. But it's not right that the guys looking to retire are getting screwed.

What did you go for?

the symbolic value of the turkey was much more than the company thought.....all people view it as a parting from the paternalistic private company to the now public company

Your body can't do this job 70 hours on a regular basis. Just like you don't hand the running back the ball 70 times a game.

would increased wages do the deal ?....if so i suggest that its tied into inflation plus 1%....otherwise its a paycut and it adds up slowly and surely.

Okay well think of it like this. Idk what state you're in but in my state cops average salary is 55k a year. I'm assuming they have good benefits and a pension as well. Can you give me one reason that justifies why we should be making more than we already do (which is what 30k more than cops)? The major you studied in college.

Our mayor makes just under $70K to run an entire city.

I make $80K to bring QVC to hoarders.
