I don't think it's that.Abuse of the elderly possibly?
Nah....I want as free a speech as everyone else on here.
Interesting.....you admit the bullying......^^^^^^^^your puff piece is filled with it.
Say, why don't you go away and hit the ignore button? I'm being bullied....
You have no idea about much....
Newsflash: I can handle it.....apparently a few crying to their sugar daddy's to help them.....
Banter? No....
I'm attacked and I will defend myself......simple.
See, since much of my "banter' is reactionary.....being intellectually honest and fair in this deal....makes it tough to ban the victim....of TOS violations and the bullying.....well I mean it should.....(I don't expect much)......
You guys have done well...give ya that......it took a tragedy and some bizarre circumstances and another tragedy to pull it off....to get me banned. 6 against 1......and the odd here and there. There's only about 10 regular folks on here anyway....and the abusive clowns will be half of them....
BTW, hitting ignore doesn't stop the abuse, bullying and hatred....it's still there. Read that again....slowly if you have to...
BTW, I'm just the latest....you guys ran off Upstate, Integrity, most new folks......you'll direct your hate to someone else....
No?
BTW, do you speak for @BadIdeaGuy now? So odd....
And for the love of God......wtf are you to suggest if or what I need to do? Simple enough?
Lastly, here's a real deep thought.....how about stopping the bullying and TOS violations? All this would go away. If you don't understand the concept......see above^^^^^.
Have to admit that I didn't read all 16 pages of this thread, but surely someone has pointed this out: Although a strike would hurt both sides, a lot, I think it's safe to say that it'll hurt UPS more. UPS Teamsters make up, last figure I saw, about 350,000 members. That's about 25% of the approximately 1.4 million Teamsters.
The Teamsters can always get more members, especially in this political climate where even places like Starbucks and Amazon are beginning to unionize.
UPS, on the other hand, will have to deal with the repercussions of a strike for a long time, potentially until it becomes a shadow of what it currently is. Amazon and FedEx will cannibalize a lot of accounts if UPS has to deal with a nationwide strike again like in 1997. The current IBT leadership has a ton of leverage this time around.
While UPS does have the argument that they will potentially break the union by locking out the members and going about their own way, The IBT has the argument that even if UPS does that they're still going to be ed in the long run. Hard. Much harder than in 1997 when Amazon didn't even exist as a delivery service and FedEx didn't control as much of the share of logistics business.
There's really no reason that this contract shouldn't be toeing the fine line between asking for too much and asking for just enough. At the end of the day I'm certain UPS knows it can afford a strike even less than the IBT can.

Yeah- the not getting AC. But the giving stuff up part is business as usual. Lol.What's the problem ?
Thats never.... ever... gonna happen.
Exactly, UPS would be silly to do a lockout. Even if half of the membership scabs, that's still 175,000 workers to replace. It's just not doable.The very thought about a “Lock Out” is and has been never part part of the equalization.
