It was different then no way near the same today and teachers don't make $36 an hour and aren't trying to get that.
Dear Joe Public, I'm the Brown Sheep here at the Cafe. I know that. I wondered though

It's just my 2 cents, anyways it wouldn't stop me from picketing I really don't care what John Q Public thinks I just doubt there would be overwhelming support that's all.
Thank you professor Nobody

Not sure what area you are in but there is a big gap in what teachers make across the nation... teachers here can and do make 100k.... of course that’s not a brand new teacher ....hell.... school bus drivers make 25+ benefits here....

Happy Verified UPSer
the company tried that in 97. shouting that the drivers were making 50k which was like 100k now, didnt.
make much of a dent in public support but maybe now it will. how many people with degrees make this much?
the main thing going for drivers is that the public loves the UPS driver. almost like Santa Claus.
They put out full page ads in the paper saying we was making almost 100k with benefits
But I was there, you was not.

Subtract that from what the CEO gets and tell us the number.with you lurking, watching as customers or just even curious outsiders.
Will you stand shoulder to shoulder with my grandbabies & family holding picket signs claiming UNFAIR 50-hour work weeks for $117,403 a year?
That's $41.05 x 40hrs x 52 = $85,384
Then the OT rate at
$61.575 at 10hrs x 52 = $32,019
85,384
32,019 = $117,403 (actually its a bit more because the Union bargained our vacation paid weeks at 45-hours many years ago, but I don't want to split hairs)
I'm the odd man out here, the ugly duckling so it seems. So, Joe the Plumber when I walk out & shoot the bird to UPS for paying me $118,000 a year. Will you stand & support me good buddy?
Our labor also produced how much profit last year?
Show us the money.

I’m not trying to get in a tit tat with you .... I respect your views on here and like reading your opinions and knowledge...I would hope more people than not would support us...I really doubt it would come to a strike regardless...I do hope if it is not favorable then we send it back at least once to see what can be changed...

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true!!
Actually the 45 hour vacation would make it a bit less but I don’t want to split hairs. You figured 52 weeks with 10 hrs OT. Vacation is 45 hours straight time.with you lurking, watching as customers or just even curious outsiders.

You was at the printing press?
I read the local papers. Back in the day when we actually had them.

No tit tat at all and thank you for your respect I appreciate it. I too don't think there will be any strike as no one really wants it....neither side. I too think there's a good chance this will not be the best and final offer.
