will our negotiators actually use the strike authorization?

[brown_trousers]

If negotiations are going badly, will our negotiators actually use the authority to call a strike? Or will they instead present a bad contract for us to vote on?

In theory, now that the negotiators have strike authority, there is now no excuse for them to present a contract with concessions in it. But is that strike vote more of a symbolic gesture? a gesture that they have no intention of following through on? or will they actually call a strike if UPS insists on concessions?

I personally think that it won't come to a strike. As much as we should strike them. Hoffa will agree to an extension and we will continue to work under the current contract. That's my opinion

"Does a strike notice authorization vote mean we're going on strike?
No. A strike notice authorization vote does not mean we're going on strike. Many more steps would have to happen before any strike, including a second vote by the members to specifically authorize a strike."

That's not true.

He’s a turd give him a break

 

[burrheadd]

That's not true.

A 72 hour notice is all that is needed if I remember correctly

 

[Turdferguson]

That's not true.

That's all I could find about it online. It was my understanding that the 72 hour notice rule was for local unions to call a strike for contract violations.

I dunno. Now that strike authorization has been approved by 90+% of voting members, a weak contract pushed through without a strike could be devastating for the Union.

90% of the membership voted?

They can’t push the master through.

90% of the membership voted?

No. “Of voting members.”

Fake news

Does anybody know how many voted?

They are authorized to strike. They just have to give 72 hours notice beforehand.

Nah. If the number wasn’t great the Company might try to leverage with it.

 

[1989]

They are authorized to strike. They just have to give 72 hours notice beforehand.

But they could give notice and still not strike. So after a 72 hour notice, nobody really knows if a strike will happen.
