Thank you for your response and time served. I’m definitely not a “punish the company” guy. I like wise remember the huge checks that’s why I’m not worried about it.
Excellent job
Is Markwayne your guy?
NO,
Not attacking, just asking. negotiating is a two-way street. Teamsters will come to the table with a fair proposal and willing to negotiate. And if this company chooses to ignore the people who actually do the work need to be compensated properly then they will leave us no choice, but to show them full weight of the teamsters union. you seem to forget this job wouldn’t be worth having if it wasn’t for teamsters negotiating. I don’t intend to leave it in worse shape than It was left to me by those before me. The optimist me believes it will work out.
I would say it's VERY possible.
Some supplements have already met and the company is not scared for a strike this time. They have no intention of giving the union what it's demanding. A strike is highly likely.If you study the “97” Ron Carey did get a strike vote during the talks. Back then you had to go down to the Union Hall and yell “Nay” or “Yea” and raise your hand. You can easily guess what the results where... usually it runs 97 % for a strike...even with mailing it in it is not even close, again around 95 % for.
The last several strike authorization votes were for show only, the Company knew that Hoffa would never allow a work stoppage and acted accordingly.
Here is what could happen ... O’Brien will have the strike authorization vote in his pocket if it comes to that. It doesn’t matter what the percentage is of those who turned one in, usually under 20 % even bother. He has already revealed his intentions...No Extensions...none of this Retro Pay / Bonus... He will not shake hands before he gets a good deal, he will already by then have the strike authorization vote from the rank and file that voted in his back pocket.
We had several members who got scared as the deadline came closer, having their wife’s calling the Union Hall asking for a vote on the Master. The Company tried their best to have the members put pressure for a final vote..Carey had none of it and we walked.
I hope so.
Lol at risk of what getting a bad contract? We will, if we don’t fight for a good one. I know the proposals for my supplement, and I’ve seen what is allegedly proposals for the national I don’t see anything out of line, or what I would call killing a golden goose. You on the other hand sound like you’re ready to be in the knee for whatever UPS offers.
Yeah people are gonna suddenly stop ordering online
The company could just give the union what it's demanding and no one would have to be at risk.
Nobody knows exactly what the union is asking
No I know that. I meant when they do ask.
