UPS LATEST PROPOSAL

[catstalking]

Simple answer.. “Let Them Try”…

1. There won't be replacements since the company likely will shut down in a strike

2. Even if they did try to hire replacements I can't see a contract getting voted in that allows the company to keep replacements over current workers.

he means after the strike is over and volume goes elsewhere so all the low seniority drivers get laid off permanently

Where is all the volume going?

 

[Redtag]

you seem to misunderstand the point of these negotiations

they're trying to get more shekels for high seniority drivers and if everyone else loses their job to make that happen, lol whoopsie doopsie

That’s interesting that you know they’re not trying to get more for part-timers….. especially if you read the forms here and places like Reddit the part-timers have been screaming pretty loudly about needing more money. A jump from $15 an hour to $20 or $21 an hour nationwide, plus yearly Raises is far more than full timers are going to get, and that’s fine with me.

most of it will go to Amazon, SMB will go to FedEx and DHL which both have contingencies for a UPS strike

Amazon doesn’t do what we do. And they can’t even deliver all of their own volume. And I can promise you FedEx and DHL have no contingency plan for any volume that they did not already make agreements on back in May.

Oh my God, Amazon is going to start making pick ups at businesses L O L this guy’s an idiot.

FedEx has no contingency plan for any volume. They did not agree on many months ago as a matter fact they told those people good luck.

DHL ? I’m not even gonna comment on such a silly idea

USPS already stressed to the max the volume we give them with surepost sits for days even now sometimes.

I’m with you, I’m saying that kitty cat guys name fits because he’s scared to hit the street.

Sounds like management trying to sow fear if you ask me.

i literally never said that, and they never will

DHL has learned a lot from their first friend up and they are still one of the largest couriers in the world, you're making a huge mistake writing them off

Appreciate your concern. This is normal for contract negotiations. Let the process play out and don’t worry about what you can’t control.
Way too many are panicking. Relax

DHL is a major player overseas not here

i hope you get what you want, job is hard and the pay in this country has lagged for decades due to illegal immigration and women in the workforce

that said, you shouldn't be delusional about what would happen to UPS specifically if a strike happened; we'd be done as a company

No one is delusional except you. We all understand what’s at stake.

Illegal immigration and women in the workforce? What the hell are you talking about?
