[QUOTE="HFolb23, post: 5507307, member: 55674"] 1.) It’s not necessarily the unions job to engage with younger members, that’s on the stewards and senior members to mentor newer employees and explain their benefits and protections as a teamster. 2.) It shouldn’t take much at all to explain just how much more the union is than 2.5x their hourly rate once a month. Lots of benefits the union gives us for that cheap of a cost. 3.) Nobody wins during a strike, but the company has the most to lose. 4.) I agree that Joey can’t politically afford to let us strike after the debacle he’s already swept under the rug with the railroads. I’d argue people care more about their UPS deliveries versus railroads even though the rail moves more of the economy than we ever will, they aren’t in public view. The worst thing that can happen for us is letting the federal government interject in our negotiations with the company. 5.) Support for organized labor and better working conditions/benefits is very high right now. If people are celebrating Starbucks and Amazon employees unionizing then why would they be against a UPS strike? [/QUOTE]
