A strike would be the worst thing in the world for all involved.

Can't think of a better time to strike. PVD would hit the media as Uber for package delivery. It's been a terrible year for Uber's image, the media's love affair with them is over.
The media has been covering their CEO's nonsense, the terrible pay, some countries and cities banning them, lawsuits, a massive data beach, sexual assaults and rapes by drivers.... the list goes on. And now UPS wants to bring those problems to your front door.
We would just need to keep it about that issue, with an added dose of unsafe 70 hour work weeks.

I remember when we came back after the strike 10 full timers were fired UPS claiming we threw nails into the yard of the building and threatening of supervisors. There was one full time manager jumped in his driveway and beaten up ... we got our jobs back but the few caught on video for like pointing a finger and just touching a managers chest with his finger lost his job .... which I don’t believe that action justified the punishment . I was there that day and witnessed driver just touched the manager on shoulder And that was a 55 year old 25 years feeder driver . Never to return

Also believe a strike will never happen. UPS lost millions in revenue and lost volume still to this day because of customers switching to competitors... And believe me these competitors will be going to all UPS s. Big accounts saying that we will go on strike and their packages will be sitting for God knows how long in a facility some where until it’s resolved So even before August we will see ups lose volume. And that’s why they try to settle before that
storm hits. Fed ex is very aggressive in stealing volume from stating to our customers that we will go on strike to get their volume They do it every contract .. I pick up 300 boxes a day from this shipper that said fed ex already made a visit to them last week

The ones talking strike. Will never happen. Plus wimpy Hoffa gets too much UPS cash in the back room deals he makes for UPS. But, some how everyone voted him in again. So we will get what we deserve. I for one believe it will be another weak concession fill contract. Like all of the Hoffa lead contracts

So this should be great reasons for the teamsters to be aggressive with both economic AND non- economic issues....Also believe a strike will never happen. UPS lost millions in revenue and lost volume still to this day because of customers switching to competitors... And believe me these competitors will be going to all UPS s. Big accounts saying that we will go on strike and their packages will be sitting for God knows how long in a facility some where until it’s resolved So even before August we will see ups lose volume.

Yeppers... these companies are making even more money than they were 20 years ago... a lot more.... and with prez t ‘s tax cut proposals they are going to be making billions more.... while you very easily could be paying more in your taxes.... you don’t seem to have an issue with this???

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth as it is. Does Hoffa ever visit them? Are they that foolish?
