Won't be far from that by the end of the next contract.
Ready to Strike?

Scabbing is highly looked down upon in the aviation community so I would be shocked if the pilots did not honor your strike. I am a IAM member and Most if not all IAM mechanics will honor it. Already has been discussed in my shop and our union will tell us not to cross.
We had a couple of guys beating the "the drivers would not honor our strike" drum and I told them while that may be true, you dont want to be the guy everyone will always remember as crossing the line. They will never forget it.
When I put it that way the two guys that were talking about scabbing got it, nobody with any brains wants to be shunned for decades, and probably run under the bus daily.
That's good!

Hopefully it wont come to a strike but I want you guys to knock it out of the park, since our contract comes up in 24 and is closely based on yours, So much so that out Aug. 2023 raise is whatever you guys get in the new contract.

Yeah……. Right now truthfully I’m not seeing it. Others may disagree. My 2cents.
They're going to ask all the old retired drivers to come back....

PVD's can cover some house stops, but all the important packages are the business bulk. There's no way they can cover that.
This "Contingency Plan" is mostly hot air. The unemployment rate is still too low to find any amount of suitable people. You'd have to start them upwards of $30/hr and more to pull them in. Hey, maybe UPS will pay whatever is needed out of desperation.

I think both sides are going to have a very valid argument next year

Oh look, a retiree telling us what work conditions we should be ok with.
That's easy. Just reiterate that we had a brother die under the working conditions, and show the video of the guy who got woozy and collapsed in front of the ring camera. Then bring up all the other safety issues we deal with and the number of injuries and how many people end up on disability.
Be nice to ride he usually does not give advice about working here.
The trucks have always been extremely hot but maybe he does not realize how much to work load has expanded over the decades
