We had 90% participation in our "picket practice" this morning. We had 15-20 come in off of vacation and comp. Our full timers are ready and unified.

The guys on comp should not be there

A picket sign weighs less than 10 pounds, their physician signed off on it.

They can be there as long as they are following their doctors restrictions.

Well you do not want the company to cut you off of comp and try to fight and get it back

Sorry. We are out of money and cutting cost. You gotta do self-service.

Settle down

I think the company didn’t like being told that they had a hard deadline of today, so they walked out. Probably also didn’t like the practice picking and no possibility of extending bargaining past the 31st like in every other contract with the union. All I see here are the customers getting more nervous and letting the usps get more volume..and Amazon starting up their delivery business…just like they have done with Amazon freight…moving non Amazon volume on their trucks. Maybe that’s what ups wants…less staffing.

Well if I understand correctly the company was the one that asked for the union to come back to the bargaining table and promised a contract by today.

And you are correct they want less hourly employees on the payroll

Less high paid FT hourly employees. More minimum wage PT Union employees.

How can they do that? Please explain.

Please, don't.

Well maybe if you have certain limitations and they see you out there running around doing the strike they would find a way to cut you off if they can.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Please, don't.

Maybe Dave can explain



Oh wait......
