UPS strike

[FedupExpress]

Apparently I was told the only thing that would break the hiring freeze would be strike next month.

I don't see ups striking, what do you think?

My buddy is 20 yr driver for ups, he doesn't think it will happen either

I didn't until today.

By the time they got them hired and trained the strike would probably be over.

Unlikely.

No one has any balls anymore, whatsoever. Men won’t strike. They have truck payments, and season tickets to pay for. Speaking for my station, if a strike did happen, we would implode.

Hopefully you have some vacation time in August...

Yesterday, the IBT walked out of contract negotiations stating that a strike was "imminent" . Now O'Brien ever since he was elected president told his membership time and time again to get their affairs in order and plan for a strike in 2023. His power as national president is only as strong as his members have economically prepared themselves for a long term strike.

What percentage of his membership have done that? I'd say....perhaps....one out of four.

The majority of the rest will continue to treat their big checks and benefits like they're birthrights rather than to confront head on the growing threat to the security of those paychecks and benefits.

Your station? Oh, you can't strike anyway, you guys didn't even have the balls to bring in the union.

One out of four? You're giving a lot of people a lot of credit. I'd say less than half that.

I remember the last strike of 1997(?) and working many hours. It was definitely no fun.

So far, UPS management has already agreed to AC in the trucks and more FT work. Looks like Telematics might get dialed back. IDK. The Brownies have the inside scoop.

More like the teamsters weren’t smart enough to save us from FedEx

That’s fully on the employees who believed the company had their best interest in mind 30 years ago.

One out of four may be on the high side.

Just had a UPS driver making a delivery to my neighbor. I handed him a bottle of water and asked him if they were going to walk. He echoed your "imminent" statement.

I personally don't think they will walk.

That’s the last time I saw teamsters handing stuff out as we were leaving building.
