Labor Shortage

[PT Car Washer]

I agree. But there’s a lot of apathy amongst rank and file. Make sure you vote on the contract and go to meetings at the hall. It won’t change if you don’t get involved. I’ve seen how the union has caved over the last 20 years, it isn’t all about wages either, how about working conditions? If the company does concede a little they often times don’t follow through and the union doesn’t enforce it.

Actually the working conditions have gotten much worse over the years both for FT and PT. Package weight going from 50lb to 70 lb to 150lb and oversize and irregs and packed package cars the norm. No load quality for package cars or trailers. Just throw it in and get it out the door. Damages and rewraps just get sent out and let someone else deal with it. 22.4 delivery drivers working 12 hour days 6 days a week and who cares if they quit we will just hire another delivery driver from Amazon.

I was there when we first went to 150 lbs. we walked out. The union did nothing. Then they said you had have union help moving it. Never enforced it

Good work if you can get it. Besides, that’s what unions are for, to get us more money

We legit have dues paying teamsters making minimum wage with no benefits.

So a Union janitor is worth $38/hr cleaning the toilets and dumping the trash cans?

Nope. Worth at least double that. I was a porter for 2 years before retiring and had come to the conclusion that your all pigs.

You had the right to get help with it but we couldn’t stop them from taking them! Not bs

 

[Misthios]

The cost of living will continue to rise regardless. It's time we start raising wages.

I wish more people understood that.

Raise the wages who cares the dollar is about to be fire kindling anyways
