Getting ugly

[Tony Q]

If you can't keep negotiations between the negotiating without leaking it out you aren't a big boy or a big girl. Its just like the kids in school who can't behave, they get detention or go to the principals office. The two got sent to their own local to their Principal officers office. Now they can better serve their members there by being on the ground meeting face to face with their own members rather than eating out three times a day, getting their two drinks and hotels, airfare, Etc Etc. The other guy is a principal officer and he has things going on in his local that need to be addressed. So its a win win situation.

As far as there being enough members on the negotiating committee. There are always to may to begin with. A lot of them are just wasting their own locals money by being there.

 

[Tony Q]

That is actually what he wants. He does not think a negotiating committee is necessary, he does not care about the input of the rank-and-file, he does not care about mobilizing members to achieve aims and goals in these negotiations. DT cares about cutting a deal and doing the least amount of work possible.

There are very few on the negotiating committee who were actually upsers let alone did the job for a couple decades. Out of the three that were sent home today only one was a UPSer and he was one for about six years. The other two were Car Haul and Freight respectfully.

 

[HEFFERNAN]

How about we stop crying until DT wraps a bow around the proposal and hands it to us.

If we gave back too much, then send it back to Hoffa like a Cologuard box so he can see the results.

Whew, that's reassuring. Sounds like the remaining Teamster negotiators will be able to whip up a strong contract now that the leakers are out and everything can be kept on the DL.

Yep, that message doesn't work.
Increasing Part-Timer wages and benefits resonates with the public.

That's what Carey did in '97 even though we now know it was all about owning and controlling the Pension Funds.

Hey, remember that you only make $100,000 starting off if you're in feeders.

Not true. You have to put in a lot of hours and make sacrifices not being home with your family.

Or “ARE YOUR KIDS SAFE? UPS works drivers to 70 hours a week behind the wheel of a big brown tank and forces exhausted drivers in your neighborhood all hours of the night.”

Not true. You have to put in a lot of hours and make sacrifices not being home with your family.

I know. Just something we recently heard from you know who’s own “experience”.

How about drug addicts that unload trucks at an unsafe speed because they are on speed. The management likes them because they are fast guys. They are druggies who go into the mens room and use a stall without sitting down. First thing in the morning and at break they are speed demons. In the old days the unions protected drunks, now its druggies. Personally I don"t care what anyone does but when it effects me its a problem.

Get some bath salts and you'll out do them.

 

[Frankie's Friend]

The News headlines would be;


UPS releases all low level management in anticipation of a strike.

They're all low level.
