Why shouldn't we strike?

[the cooler]

I think we had Amazon back then , they were just shipping books and cd's back then , their competition I believe was cd.com or something like that, Amazon was not a giant like today !!

Deliver more mattresses than cds nowadays?

Always remember just deliver the furniture or is that deliver our future?

 

[upschuck]

Impasse?

You mean like passing a contract that hasn't been ratified by its members???

Different issue.

Different issue.

Funny business is funny business.

Because Fedex would eat your lunch that's why. During the last strike Fedex was not able to handle the increase in volume. Now, with Fedex Ground, Home Delivery, Fedex Freight and Express ( who could easily handle the extra volume) they would take business from you that you would never get back, that's why! Dumbest thing you could EVER do!

A strike today wouldn't be supported by the public as it was 20 yrs ago , your getting paid health care, a pension , and 34 an hour to drive a truck !

Pension ? The pensions are being reduced , haven't you heard ?

It's not the publics choice. It's UPS's. They will loose millions possibly billions if we strike. UPS the power is in our hands.

Do you know how easy it is to change your shipping provider. This isn't the 90's....if FedEx and competitors hear of an impending strike you fan make sure they will have a plan in place to snipe all our customers.

FEDEX ->

Funny to see replies to posts from a year ago. (says a guy who hasn't been on in years) We won't strike. We'll extend this contract again if we don't get it done. Fedex will offer our customers a great deal to take a small percentage of our volume in case of uncertainty and take it all if they do strike.

Really? The company makes more money every year and we barely get a raise to cover inflation. Why shouldn't we strike?

132 Union employees went on strike in Long Island at a beer distributor Clare Rose. They were all Teamsters not one of them cross the line one of the most expensive places to live Long Island. If we have to strike I hope we're all in it or it's going to be a mess

Im striking now matter what the union says.

We make a lot more money than the average worker makes.

 

[Poop Head]

We make a lot more money than the average worker makes.

The work and undue stress (if you let it) is alot more than the average worker has as well.

Absolutely. Work conditions definitely need to improve

 

[rocket man]

If we go on strike? We have about two or three non-union. So say we're on strike do those three have to go to work?

You're only thinking about work stress. If you only make $10-12/hr your concerned about putting food on the table, making your mortgage payment, buying clothes for your kids etc. So tell me, would you rather have a stressful day at work and head home knowing you're financially secure? Or would you rather have a low stress job but when you head home you don't know if you'll have enough money to buy dinner. The answer is clear if you ask me.


Edit. So what I'm saying is be grateful, not greedy. We make 80k+ to drive a damn truck. If we have issues with the company it certainly shouldn't be about pay. If anything I would like shorter days. I'll take a 10k pay cut if I could be headed home around 6-6:30 everyday.
