Teamsters Back to Work

[Brownslave688]

The lawyers can dream all sort of things up. The wife and kids are emotional traumatized, protection costs, etc. They all file suits. In discovery, they find out who paid for the sign. Was it union money, etc. Cheaper to write the check than fight.

“Dream up all sorts of things”

And a really good case are 2 different things.

Have you been living under a rock? Nowadays you can win millions just because coffee is hot.

Can you show me where in the contract that states you can just walk out undisciplined at the 5hr mark?

It's a pat time job with full benefits, vacations, option days, overtime. Whenever a possible new employee comes in and takes a small tour to see what the job entails etc... that person should be told by the sup, that there is no set stop time. You work until everything is processed, then you go home.

If a truck breaks down and the last load is going to be 30/45mins later than projected, you stay until it's processed.

If you want a PT job, with set hours, so it doesn't conflict with other daily morning obligations..... then simply don't work at UPS.

You should change your name to drink kool aid. Just cause you get all the benefits the union fought hard for doesn’t mean they can walk all over you in exchange. A contract is a contract and not a list of suggestions.

You should inform yourself a little better on the “hot coffee” lawsuit

I know what it was about. Do you?

The woman put the coffee between her legs while driving and it spilled on her and burned her. She sued McDonalds, on the basis that they brew their coffee hotter than necessary to improve yields. She won millions because she was a careless idiot that saw a deep pocket corporation and found a bottom feeder attorney willing to do it.

Most people understand that hot coffee can burn you. But in our litigious society you can sue anybody for anything, and juries are all too willing to rule against big corporations.

She was originally awarded 2.86 million dollars but McDonald's appealed the case and she end up settling for $640,000

If I was on a jewelry she wouldn't have got a penny because she's an idiot

Yep, I wouldn't have awarded her a damn thing. If the bottom had fallen out of the cup when the drive-thru employee handed it to her, maybe I could see McDonald's having some liability. But that didn't happen. She put a cup of hot liquid between her legs while driving a car, and spilled it on herself. She caused her own injury, the case should never even have gone to trial.

People are stupid and they expect to get awarded for it

Yep. Stick a screwdriver in your eye, and sue the tool manufacturer into oblivion. It's the American way.

I had the same opinion on this lawsuit as these other two goobers until I looked it up. Yikes! Thanks for pointing this out.

I did too. Gross negligence by McDonalds.

Yes, a contract is a contract. Show me where it states that you're allowed to leave at the 5hr mark, regardless of the situation.

What would you say would be the cut off between a part time and full time job? If it takes 8 hrs to get the job done every day, that's full time hours. Leaving at 5 hours is not ok according to you, so somewhere between 5 and 8?

Ah yes, that favorite tactic of keyboard warriors, the ad hominem. So no further discussion will occur. Have a nice day.

A part time job is anything less than 40 hours a week. 39 hours a week would still be part time.

I think we should have language, if we don’t already, that says if a part time employee works more than 39 hours in a week, UPS should have to create a full time inside position. This would give senior employees the option for full time hours/benefits. And if you choose to stay part time you work part time hours.
