Most people know how hard ups drivers work and see them out late... then there’s Christmas.... I think we would get more support than you think... company thought the same thing in 97 and they were sadly mistaken...

I get more respect from the random resi people offering me water, etc. than I ever get from anyone in management. Most people are indifferent to what we do but they know UPS works us hard and that they wouldn't (couldn't) do the job.

don’t strike please it’s going to be hot this summer

I heard Management has started training for summer delivery....

UPS votes for first strike since 1997

I wonder how the public will react to this?

Existing full-time drivers now earn an average of $36 an hour, or roughly $75,000 a year.

What?! They get HOW MUCH?! To drive a truck around!?!

Right. You would also be surprised how many people think the guy pulling up to their house at 9 pm is a "second shift driver" lol.

Didn't work in 1997, and will not now.

The Union calls the strike. They tell the press why. They will not say it is about wages (except for part timers).

The press is sympathetic to workers not big corporations. They will sell the Union argument just like in 97.

Mine is still zero.
I don’t think the Trump administration will allow it since the US economy is so dependent on UPS.

If it means screwing Amazon I think Trump might be for it.

CNBC reported the reason for the consternation by the union is due to 'adding Sunday as a delivery day.' What a bunch of clowns. Like that's the only reason. Just another incidence of people on the outside that don't get it.

We're going to need a big national campaign or something that goes viral on social media that explains why we're nearing the possibility of a work stoppage.

I've never known how wrong news sites get a topic until I saw them reporting on stuff I knew the truth about. Then I realized ALL of their stories must be WAY off...

Fox news was in it's infancy in 97'. There was no Breitbart or Blaze or any of the other anti union conservative bowels of the internet sites.

Every spoiled housewife and stay at home dad wasn't on Twitter complaining their diapers didn't get to their front door on time.

I'm really not confident in the union's ability to handle a pro-worker media campaign in this political environment.

No one is on our side. President Trump would love nothing more than to destroy unions. And our previous president, Obama, wouldnt even lift a finger to help unions. We are in this alone.... from a political standpoint

Let’s face it, the average person who is a non- millennial is tired of these CEO’s making millions a year, and in some cases 100 million if you add on their stock... it’s absolutely ridiculous...

Let the security guards ups has now try that in any building where they are employed....either the guards are too old and would have a heart attack or the young Millennial kids would be too busy on their phones to notice there was a strike going on...
