Immediately after the strike from what I remember.

We had a one day wildcat strike on the issue but it was before the 97 strike.

Congrats!- Hopefully I won't be too far behind you. I'm only at 33 years in, so I'm still a rookie longing for your position.

Take me with you

The year was 1994.

It was a 1 day strike, with most Locals not participating.


Teamsters and U.P.S. Settle After Short, Scattered Strike

Yup, we were out there picketing, and Feeder drivers from other places were rolling up with no idea what we were doing.

Naaa most jobs you learn to like your coworkers bit at UPS you learn to hate them all a little more with each passing day .

We were a small center so we were for the most part a tight group but there was a couple of the younger guys I would have loved to throat punch.

If we went from 70 to 150 in 1994, When did we switch from 50 to 70 lbs?

 

[scratch]

The ‘94 wildcat strike was after the contract was voted on and the weight limit went from 70 to 150 pounds. We were told during negotiations they were only going up to 100. They already had the new 150 lb. rate and zone charts printed up. I still have my picket sign, Local 728 shut Atlanta down.

20 -23 drivers? I think there were centers a LOT larger

 

[Rack em]

20 -23 drivers? I think there were centers a LOT larger

Like 28-30 drivers?
