Will there be a national strike at UPS?

[DOK]

22.4’s will most likely be going away. PVDs are certainly a wildcard. I know O’Brien want them gone. but I could see some sort of deal to use them only during peak only with strict rules we shall see.

They already do use them during peak?

I said with strict rules. The company uses them now outside of the contract.

 

[DOK]

Yeah especially when you're asking guys the code 05 during Peak when PVD's are working

There’s a bunch of guys in our center who lives going code 05 during peak, then there were others who wanted the OT hours, in our center they seemed to take care of both camps.

Until they are forced to work at 6 day and it's not all over time..

That’s true, they weren’t happy. Would 6th punch language take care of that?

 

[Thebrownblob]

That’s true, they weren’t happy. Would 6th punch language take care of that?

Languages that says they can’t, yes. As it stands now we have language that says all they have to do is pay us.

I don't know brother, we need stronger language but more important than that we need stronger union members.

 

[DOK]

I don't know brother, we need stronger language but more important than that we need stronger union members.

Honestly, there’s a fare number of guys who don’t care, if they work 7 hours daily, at this pay rate, they’re fine with that.

I get that but we fought hard over the decades what we have now
Everyone here started out one of the full-time job now that they got it they don't want to do it

How come the union defend that?

Yeah I agree. Some of the guys I talk to are afraid to ask for over 8 hours for fear it will go back to the way it used to be back in the day, overloaded everyday, they enjoy the light work load. Can’t have it both ways.

Washed windows and did what it took to get the eight hours we’ve been guaranteed. Ain’t scared to promote the business and get the hours we bargained for.

Unfortunately that's not the way these younger millennials think now

Bunch of vaginas

 

[AKCoverMan]

I'm going to guess that the company will be willing to eliminate 22.4s but PVDs will be used year-round to eliminate all OT.

Yeah…….but no. Not gonna happen.

 

[AKCoverMan]

They already do use them during peak?

But they been doing it with no contract language. That will change dramatically methinks

 

[kforte36]

Yeah…….but no. Not gonna happen.

I hope not.

Just convinced another part time brother to commit to going on strike if it occurs He sounded like he didn’t even know what the union was for. Not surprised if a very large portion of part timers truly understand.

The Union negotiated them a minimum wage job and the company gave them a $4/hr raise. Ungrateful slobs.
