Strike Authorization Approved

[silenze]

I’m gonna take in the butt no matter what. I’m gathering more contacts for options if needed. Locally and in other states I’ve worked in. A few months at FedEx could be a quick bridge between whatever is next.

It takes quite awhile for fedex to hire anyone. The background checks alone take weeks.

So did the vote already take place?

Its not a vote to go on strike or not it just gives the union the option to go on strike

I just thought off something. With the vote NO movement in full effect what if they accidentally vote NO on the strike authorization!

Maybe I should start the process now?

Have you ever seen some of those people ?

That might be more closer to the truth.... than you realize.

If the drivers can drive a package car and find the right address and deliver the right package, I think they will figure out how to fill out a simple ballot.

Starting pay for an unloader in 1968 was $3.13 which our hub was full time jobs.

I started in 71. Starting pay was somewhere around $6.25 then. EXCELLANT paying job back then. My wife was a secretary working full time for the State of Mn. and she made $3.50 an hour. We were pulling in almost 10 bucks an hour and were the richest people we knew amongst our large group of friends. We saved $10,000 the first year and bought a 3 bedroom lake home for $18,000. Our house payments on an 8k home loan were 88 bucks a month---which included taxes and insurance.

My $6.25 starting wage in 1971 would be the same as $37.14 an hour in 2018.

 

[wide load]

I said $25 an hour. That’s 57k a year.

Ummm...
No it ain’t. Math isn’t your strong suit is it?
I’ll give you a hint: There isn’t 57 weeks in a year (52). Also, it’s a 40 hour guarantee.
Try again.

Sounds like you had it pretty rough........

Oh yeah? How much is that 18,000 dollar home worth today?

Alrighty then, we are a workforce that very intelligent! Just look at what all your co workers have done over the last thirty years you have worked there and think about your above statement.

I hit 2280 instead of 2080. But in ups hours it’s over 60k

But how hard did you have it?

Being that it is on one of the most popular lakes around here it would probably be worth $400,000+ now but anyone who would buy it would bulldoze it down and build a million dollar+ lake house now. Todays woman wouldn't be caught dead living in a 1940s style house that had started life as a cabin and was added on to a couple of times

Don’t worry, Hillary, Donald, and all of Russia will figure out how you should vote.

I say you should vote by smoke signals.
