What would you do

Seems like you need to be careful where you move to. Doesn’t seem to be national agreement on wages.

UPS Teamsters should adjust wages for local cost of living too.

Before the unifying (almost) 1976 national contract there were local and cola adjustable wages as well as varying contract lengths with the shortest of 2 years. some locals opted out of the overall and negotiated after the main contract was done. very very smart on the unions management.....I remember holding aside packages for certain destinations and stacking them very frequently as well as experiencing wild cat strikes.....the longest strike I was in was from September 1976 to December 1976....that was a good one. .the last strike was a quite nice summer vacation..especially for those who didnt have the seniority for a summer vacation..... these days neither company or union cant afford one.......

IBEW hiring like crazy around here
Big long term jobs going on

Yeah pretty much non stop hiring. The electrical grid is outdated. We could pump a trillion bucks into it alone.

You got to remember we are on the southern border. Go look at the construction sites and new neighborhoods around here. Nothing but modelo chugging foreigners building the homes. I’m not kidding.

Not sure how that has anything to do with what a lineman makes.

Let me think on that for a bit, I’ll get back to you.

Wanted to do the same thing but was too worried about effing up or not liking it and not being able to come back to UPS. The inside lineman rate around here is about $10/hr more than top rate drivers, but I heard from an apprentice friend that work wasn't always available, and he quit shortly later. I'm still often tempted to do it.

That won't matter now.

So?

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

The weak Teamsters Union wants all this stuff.
Most members don't vote and don't have a clue.

Another reason why Unions will eventually disappear.

No. We got rid of the 50% 2/3 rule. We won't be held back by the apathetic turnstile part-timers anymore.

So more Best Contracts Ever!

The Teamsters are weaker than ever.

New RPCD are going to disappear in the next contract.

No, because a simple majority of the voters can now turn down the contract. That's a good thing.

Yes. We are on our way to perhaps a strike. The last one was devastating to our company. Would another one finish it off? Or perhaps leading to an Amazon purchase?

Top rate drivers will never authorize a strike. Not at $40/hr.

 

[Karma...]

the only way there will be a strike is when/if the teamsters somehow get the part-timers to vote...
