Is there still a need for the union?

[Over70irregs]

Former Starbucks CEO says there is a macro reason for union push? (Is this how CEO’s really feel? Contract coming up yall…)

Starbucks CEO says things have gone sour for young people

Fifteen years ago, Howard Schultz reprised his role as Starbucks CEO, returning to the helm to help put the struggling company back on course. At the time, the coffee chain was flailing, facing growing competition, cooling customer interest and contending with the financial crisis.

Probably just wants leverage to pressure the government into more hand outs, more aid to crybaby zoomers, so they can thwart unionization. Playing their pal, when he really would rather have the Walmart model of doing business - workers on welfare. Only a healthy economy can support good benefits for part-timers, especially if they're selling $10 coffees.

Coffee in your parents basement is free. Especially at 2pm, while they are gone for work.

He says “partners” but real partners meet each others needs.

Idk how I feel about them unionizing. If they do cool-whatever. Striving to be a Starbucks worker as a career kind of weird though.

Just let them express their rights. What they don’t need is someone defending their rights illegally like corporate is doing. No bueno

I would say a union might not be needed, no.

[Over70irregs]

We need to show them our check stubs then let them decide union or not.

what percentage of folks in the r.t.w states are union ?

I'm sure it depends on the company they work for. We all know some companies treat people better than others. Ups in my rtw state? 99%

A job at UPS used to be a premier job. Now.... only in terms of benefits and pay.

I can't recall ever telling anyone I liked working at UPS except for the benefits and pay......

Package car needs no explanation....

Feeders.....working 20 years at night.....having no chance of a day road job(with 42 years seniority)(in a 250 driver feeder department).

There wasn't any transfers....or other career paths.....working for or going UPS Mgt. needs no explanation.

UPS is still a "good" job.....premier too.......compared to Amazon or just about most others.

Probably more than you think. Most see the value of being a Union member.

About 250 drivers in three centers only three have not signed cards.

Well, I'm sure most of us dreamed of having a job to support a family and live comfortably.

You can make $40K pouring coffee all day.

You can make $100K pushing cardboard all day.

I'm sure a garbage man (sanitation engineer) didn't dream of dumping trash all day, but it is a good living.

Do people not realize That if we weren’t unionized we’d all be making $20 an hour and have horrible working conditions? If you can’t see that you’re clueless. The upside that comes with being unionized is priceless. They can’t be measured. Even if the teamsters are a shell of what they once were which many think, the benefits far outweigh any downside some might see.

The unions also help the non union companies.

The non union companies pay their drivers more than they want to, but just enough to keep them somewhat happy so as not to unionize.
