Teamsters seeking 'north of $20' base hourly pay for UPS workers, Zuckerman says
"There’s some other issues that are on the table that are important to us, but there’s not many. We can resolve this pretty quickly," Teamsters No. 2 Fred Z told
What is the REAL reason negotiations have stalled?

I've seen similar talking about $20ish but only that one article discussing a $6-$7 separation. Again, I'm not saying it's not accurate I just would like to see more than one or two obscure references to qualify it. SOB is all over the major media outlets, he could get that info out if he wanted it to be out there.Teamsters seeking 'north of $20' base hourly pay for UPS workers, Zuckerman says

I hope so also
But it’s also likely that the union gave their minimum, ups gave their maximum, there is a big difference in between and now they’re playing chicken

After the July 5th walkout, UPS said they never walked out and want the Teamsters to return to the table.
Sounds like they still have a little wiggle room.

The posturing would be simple to discredit. Release a video on Twitter or the like of UPS' lead negotiator calling SOB on speaker asking him to return to the table, we'd find out then.

That will work. It will show who is lying.

When asked, "What will it take to get back to the table?" it's always, "For UPS to pick up the phone." Pick up the phone, call him out. That's how I'd handle it.

There is already somewhat of a divide, and always will be, between PTers and FTers. We are here for different reasons.
PTers are here to supplement an income from another job, or for beer money, or for the insurance, or waiting to go FT.
PTers are not here to support and raise a family on 4 hours per day.
We are. This is my means to support and raise my family. My family comes first. The Union comes second.

the union is the reason you the job you have with the benefits that allows you to support your family

Yes they are. But without a job, the Union is no good to me.

And without a union the job is no good to you either

Yet people work at FedEx for many years under decent pay and benefits and are non unionized.

Post the pay and benefits please, let’s compare

Decent relative to what?

Not true.
But, the Union most likely will be here with the job, but the job will not necessarily be here with the Union.

Just a rumor about penalty pay for abusing over dispatched twice a week? No proof on my end.

The Union isn't the reason you have a job! It's the Company that you have a job. It's the Union that gets you certain wage and working conditions. Union doesn't create jobs!

They don’t answer that question. So the logical answer is no.

Why does it matter if they want to or not? It’s like you are choosing the company over a fellow worker. You know the same company with record profits that can afford it. Or do you believe in trickle down economics. If so, I can’t help you.
