Local Strike Fund?

[542thruNthru]

Maybe some day PT will take enough interest in contract negotiations (but I doubt it) to band together for their own good but in the meantime the squeaky wheel always gets the grease. Don't blame the drivers for PT problems. I am well aware that the IBT is more than just UPS BUT UPS is the bread and butter for them.

No worries I'm sure @PT Car Washer remembers when you guys always had each others backs while walking on the backs of the PTers when you put them in a two tier pay scale.

You guy's were untied back then. Nothing like now.

I think Inde meant the weekly benefit is $50

Wow only $50 they are saying ours will follow the IBT. 5x monthly dues.

So my local sent out a ballot to vote on starting a local strike fund.

I was wondering if anyone of you guys/girls have a local strike fund. Curious how much you contribute yearly. If you feel it's helped your local members. Any thoughts on it at all really.

Our local joined the Ohio strike fund. $1 a week

Wow $50 a week is crazy. That would never pass here. People are upset about $2 a week. How does a PT worker afford that!

That's the payout during a strike. Like others mentioned strikes our a thing of the past for us. Too much money at stake for both sides to lose.

Kentucky isn't good enough to have it's own strike fund? Gotta mooch off of someone else?

We pay into it punk. I don't know about all of Kentucky, just my local

@PT Car Washer still makes driver wages. I'm sure he has no complaints. Are you saying ALL PT should make drivers wages now? I doubt the company would last long at that rate. All I'm saying is if PT stuck together now they could improve their wages better than 10 -12 bucks an hour like they get now.

Seems highly suspect, what with you local involved in a heated election? Why now?

Do you have to wear a @BakerMayfield2018 Jersey now and cheer for the Browns too?

 

[Johney]

Give them more money to piss away? No thank you.

What for? You will never see another strike at UPS. Too many pusillanimous.

What might work is a secure-interest earning money fund. Weekly deposits go directly into the union members account, only to be used in the event of a strike or retirement/leaving UPS. This way, the money is out of the reach of sticky finger-union leadership and yet the union had more negotiating clout.

I do not . It's included in out dues .

Great idea but would never fly. They need to get their hands on the money so they can collect interest

These locals with strike funds? Do you get you money back if you retire?
