We’re already losing a lot of business, or at least a lot of companies are transitioning more of their volume to FedEx/USPS. I haven’t had to message in for help lately, I can fit all my pickups now.
Strike will definitely happen

Yeah but we still don’t want a strike. Wouldn’t be a good thing.

For all you scardy cats out there, being in the teamsters is a legal contract and you must follow the teamster instructions. I wouldn`t want to be one of the scabs if I were you. In the 1997 ten day strike, the total amount of money earned by the very few scabs was the fine imposed to be payed when the strike was over.

Could you explain this a little more? I'm not thinking of scabbing, this just piqued my curiosity.
So say a scab made an even $1000 during the '97 strike. Once the dust settled and the smoke cleared, were they forced to pay a $1000 fine or was the onus on UPS, implying that UPS had to pay an even grand for each scab worked during the strike?

As it should be, but damn! If I hear any talk about people crossing picket lines in my building I'll make sure to remind them of recent history.
Thanks bud

I am not letting them know. I am keeping it ambiguous as to what will happen, teehee. Let me hear “I am cool with my supervisor” one more time and I’ll snap, lol.

Teamsters accused of intimidation
A national anti-union group has accused the Teamsters union of trapping United Parcel Service employees into striking by telling them they can't quickly quit the union and by threatening them...

My building only had a few delivery drivers cross in 97. Really no use for it as there was no work for them.Teamsters accused of intimidation

Lots of fear among Teamsters. If they allege something, they ought to put their names to it.Teamsters accused of intimidation

Absolutely. Of course, you have nothing to fear if you walk the line.

I think we found out locally, like a demographic funnel, that the independent "work from home" type workers are most likely to have massive monthly payment obligations and will run through a strike line to pay the bills in a heartbeat. It's far less common among the actual low-wage tiers and drivers because they have a better understanding I suppose of managing money and where it comes from.
Until they realize they actually have to work
Maybe they would show up for a day or two
