As I recall, the union gave us something in 97, then took it back.One year to build up an accessible strike fund.
In 97 we got what...$50 a week?
A year of saving (not in your 401k) can make a big difference. You will need easy access to the funds.
Is strike insurance a viable option?
Hoffa doesn't have the balls to call one.Why do we need a strike fund, the crooks in the union work well with the crooks from the company.
Only if you drink cheap beer!Mine just ticked past $4,000. We can strike for about 6 weeks before I need to worry.
Then they can screw up everyone's retro check again?We will just work under the old contract until they reach an agreement.
They must be doing something we already had a proposal meeting. We all wrote down the things that are important to us.What's really concerning to me is that negotiations haven't started. This means neither side is worried at all.
Personally I will be shocked if the contract gets voted in first time. The south is literally the only reason it passed last time.
Oh I'm sure they've already came to a handshake agreement on the golf course. LolThey must be doing something we already had a proposal meeting. We all wrote down the things that are important to us.
I got something they can shake. Already got my "No" pen all ready .Oh I'm sure they've already came to a handshake agreement on the golf course. Lol
You having a strike fund won't help the week to weekers who don't and will cross in a week or two.I've had my own find and add to it every week. I never touch the money and if I do use it, it will be some retirement mad money.
Hopefully it won't happen. Guess we will find out a year from now.You having a strike fund won't help the week to weekers who don't and will cross in a week or two.
I agree. The problem I see now is there are far more expensive vehicles in the parking lot now then in 97.Hopefully it won't happen. Guess we will find out a year from now.
I know it ridiculous. . Those are the same guys that don't have a 401k or that can afford to take a sick day.I agree. The problem I see now is there are far more expensive vehicles in the parking lot now then in 97.
The Teamsters will 'force' you to donate it back to the Union like they did in '97.One year to build up an accessible strike fund.

Yep and those expensive cars are not management ... they don't make enough to buy them.I agree. The problem I see now is there are far more expensive vehicles in the parking lot now then in 97.
