Strike Vulnerable to Political and Media Pressure

[...]

You’re not understanding the fact that we’re pretty much in a recession and the common man isn’t going to be very supportive of Workers already making $40+ potentially damaging the economy even further.

You don’t have to argue your point with me. I’m ready to Strike if need be. The point is times have changed since 97’. Production all over the country is going to be impeded by a Strike and if we don’t have a plan on how to justify ourselves to the public we’re not serious.

Furthermore, public opinion will be crucial because Biden and the Democrats are going to try to stop O’Brien if we Strike. This is a no brainer because they’re going to want to get the economy in as good of shape as possible before going into the election year.

If the country's in a recession, nobody's going to give two s about what the Teamsters and UPS are doing. They'll be worried about their own problems.

We’re in a recession? First I’ve heard of it.

They had to redefine it so we were technically in a recession, but then we weren't. And inflation was 0% too.

We cannot worry about our “image” when striking. If 1/5 people strongly agree with us then I will gladly take it. Also, it would be a good opportunity for the kids to learn about strike dynamics and perhaps they could even do a project on it. Hopefully the other companies such as Amazon and Starbucks will support us!

And yet you believe the PR department in the international union in 1997 that was completely broke and had almost no social media, and very few forms of communication did a better job then the one in charge now that is flush with money and all kinds of forms of technology and communication won’t do better? Calm down we will be fine.

Yes- this union is very advanced when it comes to technology...

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

Thought Teamsters were tough? They can't survive without someone coddling them with water?

Big Union Man is tough.... lol.

Compared to 1997 yes.

Reading some of the replies on here doesn’t fill one with much confidence.

When did the Teamsters become such trash talking posers??

lol. “Screw public opinion! We’re gonna hit UPS with a power-slam and fished ‘em with the Stone Cold Stunner! Yeah-h! Suck it.”

After August 2023 you’ll all revert back to whining about everything.

Geezas what are you crying about?

What is this thread even about

 

[Sacrificial Lamb]

I agree! We should be considering statements for ourselves to use at the picket line that also correlate our interests with those of all Workers.

UPS made profit during the scamdemic and called us heroes…while declining to give hazard pay for said scamdemic for putting our lives on the line.

Probably overextended himself on a huge house and He’s got a big truck payment and his wife would not approve of him being on strike? pusillanimous everywhere

He's scared to strike and trying to rationalize scabbing ahead of time.

No, sir. Better dead than red.

A lot of Workers didn’t get hazard pay. Why would they sympathize with us?
