Strike in August, what say you?

[rod]

Yes rod that was the joke...

Oh wait... I forgot that song was top of the charts back in your day. View attachment 186781

That was a joke?

 

[Heavy Package]

Apparently you are new to the company

Haven't you died yet, grandpa? Leave some inheritance for the kids already.

they get all my used stuff

What are e-docs?

Zapmail?

Transfer...at the bottom of seniority

The people that don’t work again don’t get any benefits. Therefore everyone is not feeling the same pain. Going into mgmt. (which I highly doubt I would do) would be after a strike if there is no chance of working again.

What would you do if 15-20 drivers above you are all laid off for months, maybe years?

No strike is going to last year's or months.....one day off costs the company millions of dollars. E-commerce is too crucial to society today....I bet the strike wouldn't last more than 1 week if that

You’re so smart.

Which concessions are you referring to? Where will ups be in 10, 20, 30 years or even 50 years from now?

 

[rod]

Not yet---although there were a few times I probably should have.

 

[OrionsBitch]

Losing accounts!

That's exactly why the strike wouldn't last more than a few days.

That is exactly why ups has lost market share and has less ft jobs than it should.

And ups is willing to risk that??? That’s why imo the union has an upper hand here...I’m not asking for the bank here but we shouldn’t sell ourselves short either..

They have always tried to be the fortune 100 company with more pt jobs than anyone else... nothing new ...

It’s unbelievable how busy we’ve been the last few weeks. A local UPS contact said they’re down 18%.

I have no idea how much of it will go flooding back to UPS once the threat of a strike ends but I do know X is interested in giving those customers a reason to stay. The longer the uncertainty, the longer the opportunity.

Depends if we get locked out or not.
