Sorry, didn't realize it was the Union Forum.
I've got a stuffy nose and didn't smell the !

The union has job security because of it. It’s up to us to file grievances because that’s what teamsters do.

Are you still a BA?

It’s getting ratified, part timers far out number fulltimers, and the part timers look at this as a windfall, we’re doomed.

I'm a part timer and it's a big fat NO for me. We all need to stand together. I know some full timers that are voting yes and I believe if there was a strike they would cross the line. Don't assume the part timers are the enemy here.

Will OP take a pay cut if/when Dems raise taxes?

I’m with ya on the NO vote, but make better arguments. Smh.

No

I don't care what side of the argument you come down on, that video is disgraceful. I understand it's an expression of anger and frustration, but she is just a pawn and doesn't deserve to be treated so crassly. It makes the rest of us look bad. And the word is teleprompter, why is that so hard?

That video was classic. I only wish I could of seen her cry when it was released. I mean she can bad mouth Tyler, but when she get it’s back she turns off the comments on YouTube and Facebook. She should just go back to being a financial analyst and leave Teamster stuff to Teamsters.

I started UPS at 18, I’ll retire at 60 for the extra $1000 a month. That’s 42 years for me.

That 25 and out regardless of age has done nothing but ruin pension plans. Guys and gals like me in the west will retire with 60-70k a year pension checks at peer 80.

 

[Kamikaze]

There won't be a strike, just the threat. Do you think anyone wants to run a route with orion? UPS would really be in trouble.

God you’re dumb. They will turn it off just like they have on my route.

Oh you're going to be a fun addition to this forum.

Double Rainbow is a classic. That video is a debacle. Putting the ideas presented by it aside, everything about it was terrible. It could have been watchable if he spent 30 seconds planning it out.

70K a year is $5,800 a month. Please tell me who is retiring from UPS with 6K a month pension other than management?

 

[Froome]

We are being told orion is going to be running at xmas. Orion is going to put your route in a easy to follow order. Orion will sequence the packages so they are in del order...and I'm sure the loader will too. Jt's going to be a blast!!!!

Anyone with 35 FT years in the west, maybe even less.

At the status quo. A new driver will easily draw 90-100k at age 55 or earlier.

The “new” dave???

 

[Imchar1]

After the 12 1/2 hour day, 150 miles, 150 stops and threatening messages from management about when I can and cannot take a lunch, yeah it’s a no vote for me. them.

Dont worry... with 22.4 you won't have anymore overtime.

Either way, 20 years later they're trying to figure out how to live on 40k in inflation adjusted dollars. Not exactly anything to be super pumped about.

Thank God, I could use a break!

 

[Dulce Bombón]

True what he said. On one hand you have a higher wage.
On the other hand you have full-time seniority.
Which would you choose?...

The ill-prepared are gonna have to figure it out.

My pension is my travel fund. We'll either be able to travel the world at will....or I can travel to the bar when she's at work.....pretty happy either way.
