Heads up letter from the Union about possible strike

[G.V. Rush]

Walking into the building today and was greeted by my BA and a couple stewards with a paper handout. In short it basically says for full timers to start saving 5 dollars a day effective immediately so we will have that money in case of a strike.

I appreciate the advice and it's definitely a smart move, but it's starting to feel all to real and scares the out of me. I went full time a month after last contract. Is this standard before every negotiation?

I'll believe it when I see it.

Doesn't mean they shouldn't prepare for it.

I think the Who said it best. "Meet the new contract, same as the old contract".

Lots of huffing and puffing by both sides, but we end up with 99% the same.

I always say that now as a public traded company, UPS will never let us go on strike. They have way too much to lose.

We were told that we will go on strike because. The central states can't handle their own S* and want the rest of us to bail them out. Lazy central states drivers holding us down.

 

[Jackburton]

We'll go on strike, just like the pilots did.

They are under the RLA. A lot harder for them to strike under those rules.

Wouldn't it be interesting if drivers delivering boxes who are in America's top 12% of income earners were to strike. I don't think that would go over too well with the bottom 88%.

I hope you realize you may have no real choice.

And it would have NOTHING to do with compensation

He can always cross the line...

We'll go on strike, just like the pilots did.

We will work under the current contract as long as it takes.
