Strike 2023

[PT Car Washer]

What was top scale In 1997 for drivers I’m not sure I remember. I guess my point is they went on strike.

The Union framed the strike around saving the Teamster pension. Company wanted control. We didn't trust the company with our pension.

I agree that was one of the big issues but the other one was, at the time more pertaining to me full-time jobs.

Our 22.3 we’re allowed to keep the red Circle pay. But only if they stayed in the exact same job permanently if they bid to a different job they went down to regular 22.3 pay

Wild. Is that in your supplement?

This. Most employees think they are just sticking it to the man, but they’re sticking it to themselves just as hard lol.

Bringing beer to the strike line might seem fun, but most don’t see the bigger picture. Those 2K-3K mortgages aren’t gonna pay themselves lol. And your lender could give a rats ass…

Cool story bro
But what does bringing beer to the picket
line have to do with “Those 2K-3-K mortgages”
Stick to running your belt let the adults deal with the hard stuff

"Part-time America won't work"

The whole "PT America doesn't work anymore" was just a PR scheme. After the strike PT got a $.50/hr increase in starting pay. And a longer progression.

..and the beer and burger a retiree will offer up. That’s got to count for something lol.

We all know @bottomups is gonna bring blunts too!

Nope not exactly, I got offered a full-time inside job, and a driving job The same day, obviously I went driving. my building there was at least 60 full-time inside jobs created. Quite a few more now.

And how long was it before UPS finally did fill the 22.3 jobs? Then the good ones all went to FT drivers and the FT driver jobs were filled by off the street hires.

At my building full-time drivers were not originally allowed to bid 22.3 and the company hired no off the street drivers. Took about a little over two years for the company to lose their arbitration case. That’s not the unions fault the company was dragging their feet.

Exactly. The FT jobs promised went to off the street hires. That was our punishment for supporting the strike.

If were really gonna strike we gonna need the guaged ears and colored hairs to make tok toks to get the public on our side.

What are you talking about? No full-time jobs went to off the street hires. At least not here

In my Local FT has first bid on FT jobs. Hired off the street under the 3 to 1 ratio. A lot of them were PT sups.

Is there any rules against running a bikini car wash on the picket line? I mean seriously, these mortgages and credit cards arent going to pay themselves.

Originally drivers did not have the ability to bid 22.3, we grieved it and won. We’ve never had a inside job go to off the street.

FT drivers took the best 22.3 jobs and were replaced by off the street hires and PT sups. At the time the company had to hire 3 Union members to every 1 off the street.

Nothing like that here, everyone with seniority close to me went full-time, over the course of about 4 1/2 to 5 months. We have and always have had a strong local.

Feeders control our Local or at least used to. Ever wonder why Feeders never have any concessions?
