What is the REAL reason negotiations have stalled?

[HarryWarden]

I lived in a rural area, and we didn't have many businesses around. It is like telling a kid from West Virginia that if he doesn't like working in a coal mine, he can go working at the Gucci bags store next door.

Should be even more reason for a union then, otherwise way easier for them to take advantage of you, since they know you have nowhere else to go

I've asked myself something similar over the years. Would I take a part time position today doing essentially the same work there for far less starting wages than when I began there in the mid '80's? I have my doubts.

I do remember some of the HR people were expressing more frustration about how much time they felt was being wasted going through the interviewing and processing of new hires only to see so many quit within the first week. That of course was when the buildings actually had HR people.

I got hired in Meadowlands in 1988. Rate was $8 and min wage was $3.25. we still turned over 75% of the workforce every year. My hiring class (that week) had 25 people. We did a 20 minute walkthrough the hub and came back upstairs. We were already down to 22. People are just lazy, and money doesn't help much.

If you pay than $35 an hour many would only come to work three days instead of four they do now

UPS would of never pushed it back if the profits were down. That would fit into their bs.
How are they going to explain dragging their feet on giving pt a cost-of-living increase into their wages when they bring another 22 billion.

I think you're right.

There was a study done by someone at MIT, I think, that concluded that earnings reports pushed back more than five days was not a good sign versus reports moved forward were a good sign. But I don’t know if it’s data included circumstances of a possible strike. I don’t think the profit/loss data of Aug 1-8 would be included in the second quarter and you could make the same point by revealing that information before August 1 right before a possible strike.

My prediction: the gov will get involved through backdoor communications. They won't let the economy goes down 7% when Biden is running again (yeah, it is funny).

No real response? I guess he’s right then, makes sense why no republicans have publicly supported us. I’m going to have to look into the Wagner act now

I responded.
Try to keep up.

RTW laws are a Republican effort to weaken and eliminate Unions in this country.

You continue to divide our membership along political lines as you have done in many other threads.

"If we do not have a TENTATIVE agreement by July 31st at midnight, we will be striking." Seems like SOB is ok with a tentative agreement and a handshake if it comes down to it.
