Last. Best. Final.

I work at a very large hub we have over 250, 22.3 jobs and we could probably add 250 more easily. Throughout much of the last contract, double shifting was common almost all the time.

100% believe that. I see it all the time, it's amazing how meticulously they keep track of how many jobs they create.

It would give the company a lot more stability in regards to employee attendance but they choose flexibility over stability.

Think of the money saved in training and retraining. No idea where the break-even point is, but there's a line where FT is just cheaper overall.

And I don’t even think it would be that unflexible because full-timers go home a lot of times when asked as well. Waving their guarantee.

How many drivers would work 11 a day if you started at 5am? your 9.5 list, I'm working the sort and off by 1600-1800 every day.

Anyone who thinks there’s gonna be a strike is a simpleton. Likely that a contract was agreed to years ago and you’ll know what it is at the last second. Hell last time it got voted down and they still forced it through. Whole thing is a complete farce

Especially if we bring PT wages closer to FT wages.

Personally, I volunteer quite often to e.a.m. I work almost 12 hours that day, but I’m off at my normal time.

"Simpleton" is a bit strong, "years ago" is ten shades of stupid, and that loophole of imposing contracts is gone.

That said, I agree that we won't walk.

Yes, I don’t think we’re walking either, and I could even agree that there is a deal worked out minus a few details, but it definitely wasn’t worked out years ago lol

It’s a big grifting effort for the union

I sign up for extra work when I'm in package, but I'm so bad at loading trucks I usually just dump bags for the sort. It's like free money, I'm already up anyway.

You're 100% right.



I sold it short at ten shades.

Grifting? By that do you mean they want to raise everyone’s wages, so they get more money and attract new members who want to be part of it? OK yes Grifting

Yeah but only because they get a piece it’s a mafia style system

Both sides want to walk out of this with "alpha" status. It's just that for the first time in decades, we really have the leverage at contact time.

Yes, we pay them to represent us very true. It has suited me very well throughout my life and my family and I are enriched because of it.

How is it working for other delivery companies without representation? By the way what I pay in dues is extremely cheap for the benefits I receive.
