Ready to Strike?

[100%]

It was the Company’s decision in “97” To call a strike.. it was all on them in their futile attempt to take over everybody’s pension trusts.

They lost that volume on their own.

Then tried to get out if their commitment to create the 22.3’s by claiming lost volume. Thank God the arbitrator saw through the ruse.

There will always be a reason for us not to strike...if we do in 2023 it will be the Company’s doing not ours.

We been eating crumbs for so long that some of our members will jump on anything to appease. Been trained on that “path of least resistance “ for far too long.

Exactly. This isn’t about workers striking, this is about if UPS wants a strike.

The company has no leverage.

Training a completely new work force.... ? Good luck.

Voting yes without even knowing what your voting on? Seriously, management can’t hide in the brown shadows any better than this? Pay up or walking august 1. The state of UPS and a strike will be on UPS, not us.

Voting "yes" means giving the Union the power to strike.

I am just pointing out that the strike had negative consequences. And if we strike it will have negative consequences again--and those consequences may be worse considering the global economy is currently unstable. I agree there are issues to fight for. I put what IMO are the biggest issues on the table.

Okay, we're in agreement then.
Let's fight to eliminate part time positions.

They should get rid of part time. it’s stupid at this point. Supervisors beg us part timers to double. Why not just make us full time? I’m not sure why the company created part time in the first place.

Lower pay per hour and less pension contributions

Lower pay per hour and less pension contributions

Basically ups being cheap. Doesn’t surprise me..I figured that’s why they don’t want to make more full time position because it’s all about having to pay more.

Who knows the what the future of inside combo jobs will be. It feels like they’re slowly being fizzled out.

They're cut many jobs they can just like the PM air drivers.
It's more than what they are paying per hour, people do not realize how much are benefit package is worth

Originally PT made the same hourly rate as FT and paid the same monthly dues.

My wife's IBEW local publishes the figures. Over $24/hr. My local doesn't, but figure's gotta be in the same neighborhood.

In my building 22.3 jobs are expanding because of the low starting PT rate even with the rate adjustment or bonus. At least 10 more 22.3 jobs posted and I hear another 10 more are coming up. Load on twi and unload on midnight or unload on twi and load on midnight.

What amount would say our benefits are worth for a family of four

Just think how much health insurance would cost if you had a buy it on your own

You can start sending that to UPS. Pay up or we walk august 1. Stop the fear mongering towards employees and throw it at the company that will start the strike or end it. Has nothing to do with us or any decisions we make. Make your move UPS.
