Teamsters suck

[BrownFlush]

Yeah, that's right. If it were up to me, I would get rid of the Union for UPS.

The union creates an atmosphere where old guys are taking all the money, hours, and paid vacation time, meanwhile hungry new people are held down.

If we got rid of the union, then job security wouldn't be based on Seniority, but on merit. Something the old geezers hogging all the hours don't want.

Stupidity isn't punishable by death, If it was, there would be a Hell of a lot less people on the BC.

Legally the Teamsters have to represent everyone in a bargaining position job. Member or not. I think the Union Local in this case showed a class act in defending him.

Hopefully they converted him.

That's a very broad term.

My many years of dealing with these types say the guy just got a little more careful and had problems after that. He should have been grateful but decided he was pissed at all sides because he lost some time. I hope I am wrong.

I judged watched a documentary @rod posted. Pretty sure I’m an expert now.

That's a first--someone actually watched a video I posted.

Five extra people living in my house for the next 3 weeks. Just shoot me. Each one of them with their own I-pad or lap top. They are sucking up all my internets. I may as well have dial-up.

Release the wifi password every day after they've done enough chores to pull their weight.

My hero! But I must say I’m agnostic on this topic and think I’m smart enough to know that we benefit from the Union. For now. As we get older we will probably turn into these grumpy a holes. Thanks for shaking it up and pissing these guys off. Thought I was the only one!

Was actually an interesting watch, never knew much about Hoffa’s life. Father worked himself to death in the coal mines, grew up with a single mother in the Great Depression and went on to be a charismatic leader who rose to the top. Seems like he did a lot of good for members as well, doubling and tripling the pay they received. We can’t even get 86 cents a year out of the company now.

He was the Pete Rose of the Teamsters, what a shame.

What a great suggestion. Only problem is its my grandkids and daughter and the SIL. My wife would shoot me if I did anything to make their stay less enjoyable. I'm at the bottom of the list when they come to town.

If you get a chance watch Jack Nicholsons movie "Hoffa". I'm not sure how much of it is based on truth but its a very entertaining movie.

Ahhh yes. The Hoffa Kennedy feud. I wish we had that Hoffa again!

The first time I heard that phrase it was from some young comedian. Could have been from one of the late night tv hosts

if you got rid of the union, job security would be based on whatever the company says, not merit.

The union only brings us forward. The 97 strike is proof of this. I don't think the union is perfect but it's better than not having one

 

[542thruNthru]

nice to see you got 32 dislikes / funny responses. you certainly deserve it.

if you got rid of the union, job security would be based on whatever UPS says, not merit.

You've said that already.
