Maybe they would want us off the clock after 8 if we were closer to $50 an hour, but I thought the same thing years ago when we were in the $30 range. Somehow I think after all this there's still going to be a bunch of overtime grievances. Some things just never really change.

That seems like the plan. Definitely above my pay grade. But I'd give a little more insight at how bad the working conditions actually are. Maybe there's a reason he's not doing that but he seems better on social media than he is at these live interviews.
I wondered much the same thing back in '97 when Ron Carey was making the rounds but the public listened to him and us. We wanted somebody who wasn't going to just take instructions from the company the way Hoffa had been for nearly 20 years and now we've got it.
I wouldn't mind seeing a little more of Zuck though. Dude just comes off as no nonsense.

Something I was thinking about that doesn’t make any sense. If O’Brien’s goal is to get the best contract for PTers at all costs even a strike, in part to entice Amazon workers to unionize. Look what I got the PTers at UPS why wouldn’t the company just give him what he wants. If Amazon is forced to pay their workers a living wage that levels the playing field massively. The gains UPS would make by Amazon paying a living wage far outweigh the couple bucks an hour for PTers. The reason Amazon and FedEx even get a piece of the pie is because they pay slave wages. Keeps their cost down. Why wouldn’t UPS say here now go unionize Amazon. It doesn’t make any sense like a lot with these negotiations.

While Amazon and FedEx do pay peanuts in comparison to UPS drivers, they probably pay more for inside jobs. FedEx also pays the same rate for PT and FT in the same classification. You guys are behind in that one area.

How do you know if Blackrock wants the stock price to drop low so they can scoop up some huge amount while wanting to shrink the company size and Union?

Im not sure im understanding your hypothetical here . At that point, what would lower voter turnout affect? It’s not like a certain percentage of people are required to vote for it to go through

I’ve been checking a lot of these, I’m curious, has any Republican politician publicly supported the union here yet? Seems to be all democrats

Yeah it sure is strange. Can't seem to find anything supportive from GOP electeds at all. All the support for us from Washington seems to be coming from the hated "commies" and "liberal queers".

Yes it seems Republicans have chosen to stay out of it, and Democrats have signaled they're willing to intervene to stop a strike.
