Looking at the big picture it seems there’s a lot more going on than meets the eye, sure we’re focused on our contract but the teamsters have a HUGE opportunity for Amazon and FedEx workers to see what the union is about and how they can take on big corporations. It hit me when I saw the campaign type ad picture on the app today. O’Brien said we were very close to making a deal. This little pause is a good time, and the last chance for a few years, for the teamsters to be in the spotlight. Let’s be honest, UPS would love to see those two companies to become unionized.
Or, I’m wrong and we’re holding out here, doing practice picketing, having O’Brien go on multiple news shows, Tweets every few hours, for the last renaming issue, a few bucks an hour for part timers.
