Strike Vote

[UnionStrong]

Supervisor: you want an easy week? Vote no
PTmer: yes boss, just don’t hire from off the street, I’ll vote no
Supervisor: get back out there with that no vote!

Yeah, there is that. Lol

Why not hand out the ballots at the parking lot entrance as guys are coming to work and have someone there to take the ballots as they go home.

Wouldn't there have to be a process in place to make sure that all who votes are members in good standing?

Good point.

 

[Brownslave688]

That would be true but it's being ignored around the country.

So they tell them to stop and move to the side walk and have someone standing at the entrance directing people over.

You guys have sidewalks?

Half you nitwits would lose them during the day.

50% turnout. Sounds pretty good

From what I could hear, so far, lots of improvements. Best of it was Technology.

Liked the transfers for part timers, improvements for our military members and didn’t he say something about the inward facing cameras??? Also the company is finally upgrading their payroll system and if they screw up your paycheck and they don’t fix it in 2 weeks you get a weeks worth of penalty pay…did I hear that right???

 

[Coldworld]

Yep overthinking it. We are giving them the hammer. They need to finish driving the nail.

Sometimes that last mile is the hardest…

 

[Coldworld]

Well 2018 was the best contract ever. Not sure how much they can improve.

A Denis T special???

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

Some of us.... anyway.

Don't hurt your arm there. Lol.

I've got 2 strong arms.... and I need both, to hold up all the members.

 

[BigUnionGuy]

Doesn’t get any simpler than phone call or internet.

We tried that in 2018.

Couldn't have made it any easier.


Are the loud mouth nobody's.... "afraid" to be confronted in person ?

I’m all for trying a new strategy, but the rubber is going to meet the road when it comes time to vote on the contract and I don’t think we’ll be doing that in person.

It’s a foreign concept to me to not take a moment and do the responsible thing and vote for something as important as your working conditions for the next five years.

Maybe this will engage people who knows…

 

[Misthios]

Why are we doing an in person strike vote? Especially with such short notice. This seems very uncoordinated to me.

I thought the goal was to get more participation this time.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just not seeing the big picture here.

I don’t understand why we aren’t doing an over the phone or internet vote. I get wanting an in person turn out but how many people are going to realistically drive to the union hall to vote? You’ve got people that it would entail an 1.5 hour or longer round trip just to vote? I don’t see that working at all especially when it’s done on a Sunday.

Now if the reports I’ve read of the teamsters coming to ups to get the votes then that will work and that would be the most intelligent way to go. Wait outside the gates and catch everyone from preload, drivers, twilight and anyone in between. These should be staffed by the union hall. Not just business agents but everyone who works at the hall and makes their living off of our backs.

For 688 it’s a vote at the hall 9-5 sun and Monday. There’s members 4 hours away. Would literally be an entire day of driving to go vote. I get I’m from a small center but I really doubt a single person makes the trip to vote from my center.

Thanks for verbalizing.... what the company is hoping for.

The Teamsters are hoping, the UPS members aren't going to be a bunch of pusillanimous this time.
