Will UPS Bend Hoffa Over like in 2013?

Only you and Olroadbeech work in a barn. Upsers work in centers.

Barn.
Package Car? No truck.
Call it whatever makes ya sleep at night.
Next a cubicle will be a micro office.

35 companies besides UPS? More like 100+ in 251. 70 contracts is probably more accurate when you lump together the master construction companies.

I believe the computer software used at the vote count can determine what number of members voted from a particular workplace by the workplace IBT code. But once the envelopes are opened, it's any one's guess how members voted, other than the totals.
I'm guessing that an estimate was made based on vote results in Locals with UPS, and experience from TU campaigning.

Ok cool. Just trying to decipher if that was an actual number or estimate or even if the candidates had these figures and why I h8 guy even had them.

It's a number on TU and TDU articles, for what that's worth.

Does your package car have a commercial plate?

Please remember not all work is physical.The mental work is harder for me. I can’t see addresses on the boxes or houses good anymore.With Orion I feel like a swing driver some days. Yes I’m old and it’s almost over I don’t feel bad for myself I feel bad for people that have a long time to go.I don’t care about the contact for me I’ll be gone. I care about it for the people I’m leaving behind

I'll break this to you as gently as possible. "Maybe, just maybe" your fellow RETIRED drivers will care about you but I guarantee the Company, the Union and those still working will forget about you the second you walk out the door. Just a fact of life.

Ours was sometimes called a barn but mostly it was a zoo.

As long as it only had cows and no bull !!

Some people just don’t know their Teamster history.

I totally agree with you.

Sounds like you need to slow down

Unless you are in my loop, then speed up

Hoffa and his new Package Director Denis T dropped the ball when they allowed UPS to implement the 70 hour work week this December.

In 2013 Hoffa, Ken H and Sean O got bent over when they allowed the company to kick off mwmbers from superior healthcare funds and into Teamcare.

So bad was the current contract that over 70% of UPSers voted against Hoffa.

With Teamsters United and TDU leading the Vote No Movement and now Sean O jumping on the bandwagon what will Hoffa and Denis T pull?

I'm on the sidelines , still a little in the loop , and my opinion about what the content of the negotiations will be mean nothing . But , for what its worth , my peoples are saying the rank and file are gonna like what Hoffa will deliver.

Only guy who calls 'em package cars at my center is an out of touch center manager who doesn't know they're actually trucks when their actual dimensions and methods of operation are taken into consideration.

Based on real substance or their overhearing of Hoffa screaming "YES, I LOVE IT, GIVE IT TO ME DADDY" in a room full of Company men in the room next door?

Is it true that when you worked for the company you used horse and carriage and delivery info was hieroglyphics?

No -- but it is true that we were a tight knit group who fought for improvements each contract and didn't just roll over and take it in the butt like a lot of the do now.

 

[BrownFlush]

Like?

He has a lot of reasons to deliver this contract . The usual grapevine stuff right now but , its premature for doom and gloom talk .

But, every contract he has lead. Has been a UPS favored contract. I'm not as optimistic. With another fail on the way
