Strike if necessary? What exactly is so bad that you would strike, plz explain.

Have you been living under a rock? We got screwed for peak and the contract that we have isn’t strong enough to hold up are 9.5 protections. If you personally think ups is going to give us a better contract for the hell of it you must be stoned. Or you are management trolling on this site, either which way you don’t have a clue what’s going on.

No troll here fella, you’re just a crybaby. Go find another job that pays 90k to 110k without a degree.

Let’s say we strike for 7 days, I have kids, what if on day 3 a illness, injury or whatever, who’s gonna pay for medical expenses?

Are you a driver?

Are you a driver?

You know full well that I am.

Guess I can’t believe that you have never made over 80k

We had a single employee cross the line for this reason in '97. His wife needed emergency surgery. None of his coworkers liked it, but they didn't get on him too bad when we came back either, as far as I could tell.

COBRA allows you as an individual to pay the premium to continue coverage in the event of a strike...And you can decide to do it 3 months AFTER your employer stops paying. So in the unlikely event that the strike lasts 3 months you can still decide retroactively that you wanted coverage to pay the bill.

He would have been covered under COBRA even if he did not cross.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

He would have been covered under COBRA even if he did not cross.

Actually, depending on the timing of the strike, he may have still been covered by his union healthcare plan.

You are one of the lowest paid drivers around then.... is that amount after your 401k and United way deductions?

The BOG allows for a better work/life balance.

Absolutely... because at most of ups, life work balance is a joke....

 

[Coldworld]

Nope.

I know cut drivers who don’t work every day to almost hit what you do yearly....
