Something like this, ""?If they did, I would be very skeptical of them and wonder what their ulterior motives are.

Yeah thats a thing i remember. The shocking part was some guys had no idea of thier financial situation. Just let thier wives run it totally.We had no one cross in 97 but a few whining about paying the bills. You would have thought 2 weeks without pay was the end of the world. save much?

It's covered in the contract. No driver will be forced to cross any picket line.Having read that striking was possible from this site got me thinking. Having grown up in a Union household, I was told at a young age to NEVER cross a picket line. IIRC, was some meat cutters that went on strike from a local grocery store. Per my fathers request, my mother no longer shopped there. How would you handle or have handled delivering to a business on strike? My gut says I should never cross a picket line to deliver something, but I'm assuming management would never honor that.

Boston cops brought us pizza during their details and told us to Behave !!
Our local police are Teamster members so that might have had something to do with why the few feeders we did have arrive during the strike were stopped and checked over to make sure the driver was quailfied and logs were up to date. I don't even know if the local cops knew what to look for but they did a good job of acting official anyway. For the most part our inside spy (every center has one ) told us that they were empty anyway and it was just a show to try to make us believe that stuff was still going through.
Well, for starters almost 4 millon packages per day are now moving via FedEx Ground.
Those packages are moving with non-union employees. What is that worth to you?
How many more Teamsters would exist if we didn't lose those packages? What would that do to pensions, strength, etc.....
I don't think those words sit well with anyone....
But, I understand that those words had to be used due to labor relations laws.....
The strikers in my area said the same thing, that management was moving empty package cars and feeders around to make it look like volume was being moved. Having been one of the people loading those feeders and package cars, I can attest non of that nonsense took place at least where I was. I have a hard time buying that it happened anywhere. The same greedy management that was trying to steal the pension and keep cheap part time labor the norm was spending massive amounts of money to move vehicles with no revenue in them just to thumb their noses at picket walkers? Silly.
You guys do stupid sh%t like that every single day.
If Corporate sent out a memo telling every management person to walk around in a chicken suit and sing "kumbayah" for the morning PCM...you guys would do it.
