The Hoffa era is over, and the Teamsters are ready to fight

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Thought there was a pissing match.

Nothing to negotiate here....

804 already won that case but they were still able to use them because there was no language.

Sorry I'm confused. @RoswellHub was banned on Facebook for asking questions? What Facebook page?

There seems to be a FaceBook page that is "heavy handed" if you don't agree them.

$50/hr PT Car Washer. What could go wrong?

You tell me. Tell me what I said was inaccurate.

a $40/hr PT Car washer is Ok...I mean, you're doing it, so it must be OK. But $50 is ridiculous? Explain...

The Feeder News Network.

It's never wrong.




I don't either.

I'll look it up tomorrow. That kind of a cash bonus for a PT'er (me at the time) would have been huge.

I agree a $500 bonus would have been 2 or 3 weeks wages. Not so much when taxes are taken out. I remember being very disappointed. One of my first lessons in taxes.

I don't really notice it myself because of all of my other deductions, 401k, Union dues, United Way, DRIVE, and Credit Union deductions. If I gross 2k I take home 1k.

That $40/hr rate is heavily subsidized by all of the $15/hr PT workers and now the $20/hr delivery drivers working 60 hours a week while the top rate drivers are working a 4 day week and going home before working a full day.

Viewpoint: We Must Prepare to Strike UPS in 2023

The year 2023, when the UPS contract expires, seems like a long way off—but in the complex world of contract negotiation, it’s just around the corner. In the 24 years since the 1997 strike, UPS has become the poster child for corporate greed—demanding more and more from its employees in a quest...

Only feels like yesterday I got boned with that 4-year progression contract.

Every contract we grant UPS more concessions. Of course these concessions do not affect top rate Union members who vote yes every contract. Don't want to rock the gravy train.

While you're exaggerating a bit, I'll entertain...

The $50/hr would be heavily subsidized by all the $25/hr PT workers and now the $35/hr (new) delivery drivers working...See how that works?

Union sent me a magazine in the mail about the era of Hoffa. I threw it away.

 

[Coldworld]

I hope you're right. But it wouldn't hurt these guys to have a little emergency savings from regardless

Perhaps moms

You will I’ll be sitting on the sidelines cheering you on

Get you down on the strike line cooking those dogs and burgers.

You know that you are the last of your kind… red circled employees are a dying breed..: you act like they are a dime a dozen.

I do know that. In another 5 or 10 years we will all be gone. Followed by the $50/hr package delivery driver.

Yet you violate the contract on a regular basis. I think you may not even work at UPS...
