Terminations in 804 begin: 20 drivers fired Monday

[oldngray]

If the IBT gets in the fight then they'll take over the Union and everyone knows Tim doesn't want that. But I heard they got a JUMBO street sweeper in maspeth. Could be used for leverage for Timmy to step down

How about if anyone would stand out there for 90 minutes?

Hindsight was Melville. Liam didn't pay attention

How remarkably 6th grade of you! Do your mom and dad know that you're pestering adults on BrownCafe? Time to run along now.

Let me get this straight. Reyes was put on a 72 for stealing time. A week later him and Liam go in. Reyes gets the axe shouldn't the next move have been the local file an arbitration? Or is pulling everyone better. I hate to see anyone get axed but out of all this I don't think I'd mind Liam getting it.

No care about the livelihood of 250 drivers from local 804 you mean. Liam said that they would be be fired. He knew it. He knowingly jeopardized the lives of 250 of our brothers. That doesn't upset you? Now your expecting the Intl to swoop in a save everything? There are 1.4 million members. I'm pretty sure the intl has additional issues to deal with. Shouldn't the local try to handle business before the intl comes in?

He definitely played on their emotions, and made a knee jerk reaction. He was supposed to be protecting people, not placing them in harms way.

He actually said "may be" fired. Your rendition is a little inaccurate.

Everyone had a choice.

They trusted him because he continuously fought hard for them.

The jury's still out. Have a heart.

She might be pregnant

 

[upschuck]

Are these replacement drivers all coming from the street? If so, are there grievances being filed for 6-1 ratio not being adhered to? UPSJobs.com is still advertising for FT PC jobs, no mention of temp status.

If she might be pregnant you might want to bag it up.

When they run out Qualified PT wanting to go FT the 6 - 1 ratio doesn't apple anymore....

That's not for sure. Who knows how there local practice goes. They might be able to pull from other buildings with in the local. I don't think it will ever get this far though.

So your saying that no PTer wants to go FT? They would be as qualified as any streeter would be. If I was PT there, I'd be filing grievances every time a new class came through.

 

['Lord Brown's bidding']

Not necessarily qualified: do they have a driver's license? Is their driving record clean? Have they been driving 2 years? Do they know how to drive a stick (and while UPS may teach you that, they probably don't have to wait for you to learn before hiring a street hire)?

Stink, why don't you get off the angry vendetta attitude.

Every hourly employee (every driver) has a contract book and it is our responsibility to read and understand the things written in it.

If the BA was instructing the drivers to walk off the job and it was the wrong thing to do, well, I would say that its every employee's responsibility to defy that order and abide by the agreed upon language.

Blame the BA all you want but everyone on this forum knows that we, as hourlies, fail greatly in the area of doing our own homework and it is a huge wake up call for us to get educated immediately and only good things can come out of that.

We can only be "swindled" if we allow it. That applies to all of us.

I've been asking for contract books for years. I was always told that they're in printing right now

The truth of the matter is that they only print 3000 contract books for 7400 members
