The 97 strike....

[Catatonic]

I crossed the line and got paid my UPS income ... sweeeet!

Our management had the office girls unload the trailers. Then they drove around all day and delivered a few stops.

 

[cosmo1]

That was cash money-----no taxes or any of that crap.

He asked me how much I would have made at UPS and nearly passed out when I told him.

Sshhh, don't anybody tell the IRS.

You scab! Oh crap, nevermind.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

You scab! Oh crap, nevermind.

Isn't that about the time that management, started paying for healthcare?

I think you're right.

 

[Catatonic]

Nope, 5 years before that ... 1992.

"Waste my time", how come this doesn't surprise me?

I spent the first day out there----after watching one of my "brothers" get drunk and start chasing after the cars of people who didn't agree with our work stoppage I decided I wasn't going to waste my time there anymore.

Yes, I kept my strike check.

I watched my kids during the day and walked the picket line at night. Had a long way to go before I would consider looking for work.

I was not in the financial position then that I am in today.

You got a strike check for one day on the picket line?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

$55.

Which they promptly took back in dues over the next two checks.

Wow I'm surprised. There were a lot of hoops we needed to jump through to get that $55. Sounds like none for you all.

Thx to the union and the ones that stayed on the picket lines regardless of their financial situations.

How does RTW states strike? Do the non union (scabs, moochers 24-7-365) go into work?

Being on the line isn't condoning bad and unprofessional behavior. You can be a good example while showing support for our cause.

"One" unprofessional employee doesn't represent the whole group.

The same exact way non RTW states strike.

yeah in my center they did. we followed them and picketed them on route.

 

[PT Car Washer]

I live in a RTW state and the only people that crossed were a handful of Union package car drivers. No PT even pre seniority PTers crossed.

How can a non-union employee not cross the line? They are not on strike as they are not part of the union. This whole RTW thing boggles my mine.
