^^^^^^ First guy to cross

Would be a shame if he got ready to go home and found his tires were somehow deflated.

He’s probably long dead by now...

Did you lead the morning stretches today?

Give a “fun fact” or two... wafj.....

Don’t be a “not vote”. At least vote no. I’m so tired of people saying their vote doesn’t count. Last contract was held up at the supplemental level. We can hold it up at the master level this time.

Absolutely... we have the votes to vote it down for sure....as long as Canada stfu this time...!!

voting has absolutely no impact except at a local level, a complete waste of time.

Would you rather have a great paying job and a less than perfect contract, or no job at all??
A strike will be long, ugly, and most likely a permanent separation between UPS and the Union. If you think that a profitable company of now $6B will not be willing to allow, or cannot survive a strike in order to get the changes that they want/need, then you are highly mistaken.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

okay, I'll definitely vote. I'm voting yes. Hopefully it's at least another subpar contract, if not a complete pile of garbage.

Nobody wins in a strike.
The ‘97 strike led to the current feelings of management towards union employees.

Dude, that's not me. That's @1989NW. He's gonna miss @UpstateNYUPSer in a few days. He's trading in his knee pads.

admittedly, the strike was a bit before my time, but I think current management feelings toward employees has a lot more to do with UPS being a publicly traded company than a 21 year old strike. The management from back then is mostly retired and/or dead.

They hated us before that. Come on dude. Were you there? Management has always been abusive.

Agree. It's a new day in the world of hate. The old management (center manager to ORS) knew our routes and customers well.
Now, they just push buttons on a keyboard and behold.......
instant bitter coffee dispatch drips into the cup.
They don't care and probably never will.

Yep because the contract vote is decided by a electoral college and not the popular vote. Oh wait...

Many locals are getting fed up with the “vote no” campaign. And that might just be the reason a subpar contract gets ratified. This vote no, no matter what mentally may just backfire.

How many locals is "many locals"? Just curious. 3, 5, 25?
