Retired 23 years
I'm sure you have enjoyed all the perks and benefits the Teamsters fought for. A SCAB is a scab is a scab no matter how you spin it.1997, I remember it well.
Learned the truth and facts behind the strike and refused to be played by Carey and the Hoffa money power games.
I quit the teamsters just before the end of the strike.
Ouch, someone is going to call me a scab and threaten me.
My feelings, and my body, might get hurt.
Some tried and they did not succeed.
Retired as a circle of honor driver in 2014 and UPS will pay, and has, for my retirement, not the union.
The teamsters lost more than they gained playing with the UPS pension fund control.
25yrs ago is not a long time.
25yrs from now making the wrong choices will feel like an eternity.

Beat it Barney no one on his forum has respect for a piece of crap like you
@rod he was a scab
He leached off the Union contract without ever paying any union dues
That right there my friend is a complete piece of garbage
friend* him
I remember it well. BBQ every day with the crew and fifty five bucks to go wild with. I got good at frisbee and chilling with the local popo who were there to keep the peace. (The six of us were partying like we were Kennedys)
We should hope the company makes 20 billion this year so we don’t have to go through it next year.

I always wonder what people like @satellitedriver thinks would happen to his great retirement if everyone had the same Philosophy? Do these people really believe UPS would still have had a pension? We would be lucky to even be FedEx ground without the union. Even with all its worts.
I'm not so worried about myself
But a strike will destroy the younger guys here but unfortunately if that's what the current management wants better not bigger
On the other hand is shareholders will never tolerate a strike

again A scab trying to justify his behavior
Sorry cuz but you’re a POS
Agree. If the company is making bank and the union is strong we are going to avoid the nonsense and get the business done. Nobody wants a negative result.
Realistically we are going to get paid and some of the other stuff will get settled.
Unfortunately we threw a lot of stuff away this contract.
Hopefully we can get a fair contract this time without either side going overboard

I believe by this time next year the membership will be prepared to do whatever is necessary. this is a totally different philosophy O’Brien is bringing, The companies actions in the last couple of years have really solidified peoples distain for the way they are treated. We need to coalesce around that and push this company to either negotiate with us fairly or learn to fear us.
Maybe it's just me but the way the company trees born pandemic I do not forget that

We will have to scratch and fight to get some of those things back but I believe we can make some progress this contract we may not get it all but I believe we will get quite a bit

Even in the last six months it feels like the company has been turning the screws almost like they are egging us on. I for one am ready. But I could just as easily put my browns on August 2 with a great contract that both sides can live with.
