In a moment of public silence.

Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
Well that's what happens when you think.
You really seem like a nice guy.

Sooo...this guy is some legend from local 804...and all the old timers have idolized him and seem to be stuck in the past as to how great it all used to be? WOW.
Get with the times people, UPS is not the same company it was 20 years ago, let alone 2 years ago! I started in 2001 and since then I've seen the company change for the worse. We can all sit around and tell stories about how great we had it, but we need to realize the differences and adapt or DIE.

You meant to say "Fight or die"?

LOL. That works too. We still need to adapt to the changes that are taking place within UPS and the way the general public views unions. We hardly have as much support as we did back in the 90's when you all went on strike.
I'm all for putting up a fight, but you can't just rush in doing the same thing and expecting the same results you got years ago.

Actually, I'm not so sure about that. Look what's going on in NYC with the public and its just beginning.
We have a heck of a lot more people working in temp jobs today.
The corporations are viewed with great disbelief and distrust because of what the banks did to people in the last ten years and the government is publicly exposing their corruption. The corporate corruption list goes on and on including the stolen pensions.
(I will say our union is probably the only one I know of that is tracked by the US government because of corruption.)
People are SICK of part time jobs and that is the mantra of 1997.
Don't be fooled, the general public loves their UPS people and an attack on us is like an attack on a family member to them. The company never factors that in because they don't like to acknowledge it but it will always be a detriment to their cause.

Despite this being a national story, IBT has been absolutely silent on the matter. Nothing on any of their social media platforms or even a link on the IBT-staffed news feeds. This tells me all I need to know about IBT's stance.
The IBT knows that the people that walked out didn't follow the contract and it was a illegal work stoppage. They are not going to do or say anything publicly because if they do they would look like total a-holes in the end.

Backdoor because the front door (open to the media isn't a good public relations option for the IBT )
