The nonsense here is a prime example of why things have become what they are. PERHAPS we could all figure out what "union" means.

The union did this when they took members voting rights away.
"How can you attract new members when you are selling out the ones you already have ?"

Threads like this remind me why I am not involved in the Union as you Joe Unions are morons.

What's most important in this upcoming contract keep it on topic and realistic

I'm thinking two tier pay system for new drivers no more retirement 401(k) match

Also look for the company to back out of the agreement to pick up the shortfall on the central states health and welfare

Which in my humble opinion UPS shouldn't pay the Teamsters anymore ( remember UPS already paid them why should they have to give them more money)

Keep in mind we must be realistic any body can do this job off the street now with the addition of Orion we strike it will be nothing like 97 the company is crippled they said they would never be caught with your pants down again just saying

Did you get that out of a crackerjack box! HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER! Maybe we should have Sean lead with that... Or maybe we should stop talking about future contract negotiations if it's going to be negative.

Not the point.

 

[wide load]

Not the point.

You'll get similar battles from Democrats and Republicans, Israelis and Palestinians, Countries, etc. so stop blanketing this as a union "uneducated" bs slant at a plain old argument. It's almost 6, shouldn't you be in bed old man?

I know the IBT used the stock market as an excuse. My 401k has rebounded and I've made a ton of $ thanks to the stock market
FACT

That's because there were no withdraws. A pension fund is constantly having money taken away to give to retired members. The more money you have in any fund, the faster it grows. Percentage losses along with payouts equals massive loss. Gains compound.
