I think it’s a very strange company to be unionized. But I suppose, the more Teamsters, the better.

Well, they keep getting rid of UPS employees so we better find new members somehow.

I don’t believe the Teamsters are heavily involved in gaining these members to be Teamsters. Although Teamsters have supported their efforts to unionize

I just worry about the effect of having less members and funding a pension fund. Their goal has been to eliminate pensions for years and I think they've found the way they are going to do that. Make things difficult so more people retire and less people get hired back due to automation and less volume which automatically underfunds our pensions.

We’ll be ok.

I support these workers right to form a union. But You’ll never catch me dead at a Starbucks. Blows my mind that some people go there almost every day and spend as much as I would spend on a lunch for a cup of coffee.

It's not really coffee. It's coffee flavored milkshakes with a week's worth of sugar in it

Yeah but you'll be at Dunkin with @Covemastah everyday!

You'll take our pension money but won't support our coffee!
