Happy Anniversary everyone.
I will not be delivering packages in Seattle if it occurs again ... unless that is my Hell?Who can forget those strike fund checks and the many expired canned goods the hall gave us. Don't forgot, some of us in So Cal were visited by no other than the Rev. Jessie Jackson!
From someone that wasn't there, Thank you to those that were.
Kinda like high school, you remember the fun parts. It was an experience for sure. But like you, not one I really look forward to doing again.Good times, good times.
We should do it again!
( j/k for those that missed it. We really shouldn't)
Agree with you, with business to business deliverys, we never recovered to where we were prestrike.FedEx went into the ground business and took a lot of our business away. They went after our commercial customers that we make the most money off first. Also, Central States Pension Plan got a break, more wasted money went into that disaster. I have 23 years vested in CS. Part timers continued to be screwed over in wages. Real successful strike, we showed them. Yes, I walked the line and got that $55 check that the IBT had to borrow.
Maybe that will make them think twice when we vote to strike again this time round.Agree with you, with business to business deliverys, we never recovered to where we were prestrike.

We should have taken their offer. We would now be paying for healthcare and getting a 4% match on our 401k and no pension.
Just cook the books...no profit.You'd also be making tens of thousands in bonus based on the record profits. That's assuming no change in the offered bonus formula - which is probably not a good assumption.
Ironically the IBT would likely be stronger in that there would be tens of thousands more UPS teamsters since it is unlikely UPS' market share would have slid from well north of 80% pre strike to the south of 50% it is today.
Are you Hoffa?If I was here that strike would have never happened.
i hope you hold my signIf I was here that strike would have never happened.
No, I'm indecisi0n.Are you Hoffa?
