Does anybody feel like the CEO of UPS is setting up UPS to be bought by Amazon ???

Amazon doesn't want union forces in their way. Buying FedEx ground makes more sense. Those folk they could exploit to the max.

It's that time of year when the obligatory "Amazon is buying UPS" topics start popping up.

 

[DELACROIX]

Which one?

The one with the Botox…

 

[textat3]

Amazon will put us under, not buy us.

The one with the Botox…

Hell yeah

 

[bbsam]

Why would amazon buy a union workforce?

They wouldn’t

So with the new administration effectively freezing the NLRB, is UPS still a union workforce going forward? How strong is the contract that can’t be enforced with an administration that would never allow a strike to happen?

We don’t have a strike clause.

So you think a CEO can sell a company like UPS?

Well… sometimes it feels that way, but we do have a grievance procedure. There has quite a few steps as well as arbitration. If it got far enough to strike, I would not feel comfortable with the current NLRB situation.

no we can strike, nothing has changed from the last one in 97

Every one is forgetting we still have labor laws in every state. We won’t have a wildcat strike.

Read through the contract. Many of these posts are ridiculous. These scenarios are written in the master contract.

If we don’t have a contract. Or authorized strike for a ULP. otherwise, we cannot wildcat.

During the Hoffa years and before that the International did "whatever it wants" ignoring the rank and file, the Company just ran with it.

Honestly, if you don’t have a competent local, and understand that members need to file grievances when the company violates the contract the company can still “just run with it.”

They would file if they had the confidence that the Union would have their backs. No.. the Company doesn’t retaliate:

Biden did the same thing when he was installed as President.

All these chicken littles crying about the sky falling.

Turn off NPR and CNN, they're just trying to get you all worked up.

He did replace NLRB people with his own. Let’s see what Trump does. He ran on being more labor, friendly. Let’s see.

Well, since the other guy was a ing liar, there's a good chance that Trump will be much better.
