Political hack piece. Yellow has been on life support since 2004. Trump money only delayed the enviable and shouldn't be associated with UPS and their ability to work with the Teamsters to marry excellent service and profitablity.

In this whole contract negotiations, with each passing day, i figure we are being played somehow. I just ain't smart enough to figure out how and by who.

Did Yellow benefit from the recent Central States bailout?

Kinda get the feeling a large part of why we’re at an “impasse” with the company is the the union is using this opportunity for the press time they’re getting to show big corporation employees, namely Amazon, what the union can do.

No. I believe they are still under the " Distressed Employer Schedule" act of 2011. I think they are at roughly $60 per year accrual rate.

I used to use a fob,
for a really good job.
I followed the mob,
because of a clod.

Hit piece, he doesn’t even mention all the give backs at yellow the last 15 years.
Listen directly to the members. These meetings, all across the country being filmed, are fascinating.

Charles Gasparino can go suck a tranny carrot pouch.

Yep. This fight is also about Amazon. You can’t bargain Amazon without proof of a strong part time labor teamsters contract

And the practice picketing just a video opp to pass around to show unity, since we’re never going to really picket?

Perhaps

Perhaps

Happily prepared

I’ve been practicing just in case I have to watch my kids. Right outside my house

Yep. We’re caught in the middle. If O’Brien doesn’t get a huge raise for part timers, Amazon workers will ignore the Teamsters.

If we strike, it is because O’Brien wants to show Amazon workers what a Union can do for them.

O’Brien even said this goes beyond UPS. We are caught in the middle and may pay a huge price for O’Brien’s strategy.

Foul mouthed heavily political hack piece for sure. Never heard of this guy but somewhere, somehow the Teamsters made him salty. I’m not a Biden fan either but this guy just comes off as a spiteful d-bag. Yellow has barely treaded water since the Bush Administration, it’s nothing new and it’s looking like Yellow’s demise is inevitable. They’re simply not competitive in the logistics industry. It sucks for the guys losing good union jobs but it is what it is.

I am very intolerant to journalists that let politics influence their work, if this Gasparino clown is even a journalist. I’ve seen better writing from my 10th grade ‘special needs‘ students.

I'm starting to believe the only reason we haven't been shown what's been offered is because full timers would probably vote yes on it and SOB knows that.

Or we may come out ahead.

Likely. They gave drivers a decent raise knowing we actually vote while throwing chump change at package handlers.

Yep. But that is not a win for O’Brien in regards to Amazon or FedEx.

We are pawns in his agenda.
