UPS workers claim holiday disaster looms as they threaten to strike

[35years]

Talk about a derail.... How did this thread go from American UPS airline mechanics to European Amazon workers??? I would bet that you’re the only one in this thread who cares about European Amazon workers.

Because Ricky is a Communist.

UPS workers claim holiday disaster looms as they threaten to strike

• 
  
  
  • UPS aircraft mechanics are threatening to strike during the busy holiday shipping season

• 
  
  
  • The workers are launching a national advertising campaign to fight what they are calling "massive reductions" to their health care benefits

• 
  
  
  • UPS says customers "remain in good hands" during the holiday season and notes that workers cannot strike unless they are released from negotiations by the National Mediation Board

You sir are a bitter old man

You sir are a bitter old man

You once called me "a warped, frustrated, old man"! What are you but a warped, frustrated young man? A miserable little clerk crawling in here on your hands and knees and begging for help. No securities, no stocks, no bonds, nothin' but a miserable little $500 equity in a life insurance policy!

Maybe threatening a strike during this year's peak will work. If not, there's always 2019.

In our current political climate I think a strike would be suicide. We would get roasted in the court of public opinion. If our wages and benefit packages got splashed across the media, I think we would find that suddenly we are uneducated dumb over paid truck drivers. Obviously saying I don't agree with that statement, but the few times I've been honest about our wages and bennies to someone(especially desk jockey office drone types) oh lordy do they get pissed.

That’s true for half the country...but when you’re making the same nation wide it’s not true everywhere

I forget the bubble I live in sometimes: Our super secret socialist organization would have us spell out "Always Be Unionizing" and start chanting in front of a Burgerville or Walmart. My liberal dad almost slapped me for saying unions are always great.
