[QUOTE="SoCalUPS, post: 3740837, member: 62676"] Great article that I just stumbled across. If it was posted before, I apologize. [URL="http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/08/21/team-a21.html"]Teamsters local meeting erupts in anger as union official calls UPS workers’ poverty wages “subjective”[/URL] Some highlights: Hailing the supposed generosity of UPS management, Marshall claimed UPS would spend half its $6 billion in profits on wages and benefits under the proposed contract. In a “perfect world,” workers would get it all, he declared, but “when I was a kid, I also wanted a pony.” When workers raised concerns about workplace grievances, Marshall told them to file a complaint—to which the workers replied that they had, but it “went nowhere.” Marshall said references to “poverty wages for part-timers”—who make up 70 percent of UPS’ workforce and are paid as little as $10 per hour—were “subjective.” He added that claims that “the 9.5 system is broken are subjective too, because it’s always gonna be broken.”.....
