[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Really ?

Lets see an actual use.


Everybody is waiting....

Can't stand on that.

We don't even have language for mandatory hand trucks.

You don’t need it, the company already provided it for you as one of the keys to lifting and lowering. “Use existing equipment when necessary”.

 

[Rack em]

We have language in our supplement saying they need to provide us with a handcart.

I'm sure when my boss gets fired which I've been hearing he's going to be then things will change hopefully for the better probably would be better anybody would be better than this guy

You'd think so... but don't forget where you work. It only ever gets worse.

Google was around in 1997?

The founders of Google had a site called BackRub in 1996 which morphed into Google. Google was registered on Sept. 15, 1998.

Why?

To taste some of your “world famous” strike line bbq????

 

[Coldworld]

George, the other Denver Brown guy was great, and very helpful to me in my early UPS days.

He retired a few years ago???right??

We destroyed a few grills in 97

You would think that this would just be needed equipment for a job like ours...why the hell is “that” in our contract???

 

[over9five]

I'm tired of the Teamsters taking one step forward , two steps back and will stand with you on the picket line if you go out on strike.

This girl can walk with me.

 

[MC4YOU2]

Yes. I'm sure his old center misses his wise leadership. His website has been pared down and now is mostly pics of general thoughts of the day, but still has occasional political articles and UPS stuff. Great guy.

I would think if it wasn't spelled out in black and white in the contract that UPS would provide all necessary equipment and supplies that you would have to buy your own 2-wheel cart. Speaking of that if you have to wear UPS socks to wear shorts why don't the company provide those?
