UPS LATEST PROPOSAL

[UPSER1987]

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.

Dude…you are in the wrong line of business. You seem to know EVERYTHING lol

Dude, this is common knowledge.

 

[DELACROIX]

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

I heard that they are doing well in Germany...

From where? Brown cafe and Reddit?

FedEx sets March 31 deadline to prioritize UPS volumes in event of Teamsters strike

FedEx abandons its low-key communication style to get direct with UPS’ customers.

Will Postal Service ride to the rescue if Teamsters strike UPS? Maybe

There will be a lot of parcels to deliver if the Teamsters go on strike against UPS, but the Postal Service has proved its mettle before.

“The reality is that there aren’t any carriers prepared to handle an avalanche of volume,” said Haber. “USPS and FedEx (NYSE: FDX) are better prepared than anyone else to help in the event of a strike, but they would just be partial solutions.”

the cheapest one bedroom apartment within an hour of my building is just under 2000$. Same one when I was making 30$ was 700$. It takes 47hr to pay for an apartment when we made 30 it only took me 23hr. I think you guys in the lower cost of living areas that say raises don’t matter do make a good point. We should have a base rate with an adjustment for the local area cost of living. You guys keep telling us you don’t need any money and we believe you.

When every single thing goes up around you, then wages need to also. So many Americans, including myself, have gotten brainwashed into thinking their wages don’t necessarily need to. And if you denied yourself a lot of the fun stuff, you’re probably right. However, I am tired of making other people rich by making my family and myself do without. I’m not looking to take everything the company has of course. Just give me enough to have some fun too. The company gave its shareholders 8 billion last year, didn’t “need” it to operate with. So let them give some of that back to their employees for crying out loud.

I don’t know. I don’t think anyone knows what was in any of the offers.

It’s all speculation. We will find out everything after the new contract I’m sure.

 

[Just A UPS Guy]

I don’t know. I don’t think anyone knows what was in any of the offers.

I was told by a pretty reliable source that we started "in the 30% range."

Obviously there's no way for me to verify that, but looking around at many of the recent contracts settled, it sounds like that would be a viable starting point.

We had a recent contract in our local with a 24% raise. That’s not even UPS with the insane amount of money they have.

 

[Zowert]

Show me the money!

 

[Up In Smoke]

Wages and benefits make up 70%of a service company's costs. Things were moving steadily forward until it hit the elephant.

I can guarantee he has more knowledge than some short-term PT supervisor from AZ....

Predictable, really.

The members of the the negotiating committee know....

AZ? Please...that is so easy to beat.

 

[nWo]

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

Corporate greed.

 

[anonymous23456]

Corporate greed.

All humans have greed...So we replaced feudal system with something better but not utopia.
