When people come on here crying the blues because we are on strike.

[bowhnterdon]

How do they process the small sorts now?

We have 1 SLAW machine that reads tracking number and puts a PAL on the package. The rest is hand scanned

 

[BigUnionGuy]

announce the sort is going to start on the intercom

The intercom ?

Wow.... you are in an old building.


I remember when they used to play music over the intercom during the sort.

A different station every night, just to break it up or appease everyone.

 

[DELACROIX]

Yeah..it is about 50 years old. Everything is old and weathered it has a certain charm though...

The plumbing has been going south for a while, the driver's locker room was built just above the center manager's offices and occasionally the toilets would clog and leak waste water all over their desks. We do not know if anybody is going it on purpose, but I could tell you stories.

Like you said they did play music thru the intercom back in the "80's" and "90's" during the sorts, but too many musical tastes got involved, so to appease everybody they decided to end it...

And you could hear every word the managers were saying in their office....lol

 

[allahuakbar]

Christmas Carols during Peak. Yeah that was years ago.

 

[SameRightsForAll]

I see that really makes you mad bro.
Are you mad bro?

It sounds like you're shoulder-checking him, and you're the one acting mad.

 

[Jackburton]

You bitches ain’t striking. Shut up

I’m striking your post, now begone.

 

[wide load]

So in every negotiation saying no always gets you a better deal? What book did you learn that in, sports illustrated?

Every? No. Labor negotiations, I have to see it get worse.

 

[babboo25]

What?

 

[wide load]

What?

My bad.
“I have yet to see it get worse.”

 

[just chillin']

Yall should read a book about business, you never take the first deal thrown at you, especially if you're in a position of power. Tony Q you an idiot for thinking yes, consider buying a car or house, nobody takes the first deal thrown at them.

this aint like your buying a car and paying sticker price. its way more like mom and dad (the union) negotiated long and hard with the car salesman (the company) to get you a car that they think is best for you. now there asking if you like it (the vote). say yes and you drive away with the car they chose for you. say no and maybe you get the same car with added pinstripes and chrome wheels (second vote) or maybe they say no car for you for now and make you wait (strike). if you really want a different car altogether (MAJOR changes to the tentative master) your gonna need new parents and thats not gonna happen now.

 

[Heffalump]

This is the generation of millenials. I doubt they will be crying about it. They will just cross the picket line to continue working

Your dumb if you think all of us will. Alot of us hold high appease from others and if I was to speak up to a couple guys they WILL NOT CROSS. Facts.

 

[cachmeifucan]

They can barely staff buildings without a strike. 0 chance of strike. Anyone saying otherwise is using scare tactics. Vote no have them get a better deal. Send a message we are not going to be fooled we understand the company and our union have their own agenda.

 

[cachmeifucan]

Vote no for the bonus

 

[cachmeifucan]

Anyone thinking about voting yes go watch hoffa with Danny devito. Hoffa sr was a great man. Then tell me how you want to vote

That movie was mostly fiction.

If you want a more complete look at James R. Hoffa, read "Out of the Jungle: Jimmy Hoffa and the Remaking of the American Working Class." It's dry but is the most exhaustive look at the most effective labor leader the USA has ever seen; it was written around the time when James P. Hoffa was elected and was a little too optimistic but is otherwise a great read.
