You asked for it.... Now you got it.

[BigUnionGuy]

For all the naysayers.

The IBT has filed all the appropriate paper work.


The pressure is being applied, and if need be.... a strike authorization vote

can be conducted if UPS continues to dismiss the members contractual concerns.

I wish Ups would just do the RIGHT thing and treat the workers better. Not saying we need huge raises, but better working conditions for sure! How the is 6+ billion dollars in profit not good enough for those money grubbing mongoloids?! Make some sacrifices to help staff better and they could still profit over 4-5 billion a year which is PLENTY.

If they made even a small effort to maybe properly staff preload so drivers could get a decent load a few days a week it would go a long way. Better loads=less time on road=less paid day for top rate drivers. I hope we don't have to strike, but if we do then Ups deserves to lose the billions of dollars they will as a result. Greed will be the ultimate downfall of this pathetically run company!

Neither of those letters say anything about a strike authorization vote.

 

[Heavy Package]

I don't want to strike - I want to take this company for everything I can. But the working conditions are crap and need to be improved.

Aww hell with it - UPS won't give us an inch. It's strike time....

Did you miss this part ?

"Enclosed, please find a copy of the Constitution of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, so that you may be informed of the Union’s requirements for entering into a binding agreement. This matter is covered specifically in Article XII, Sections 2 and 23."

That is SOP for any contract negotiation.

Yep... the strike bunker is fully operational...ready to roll...

I don't believe it was done last contract.

The letters or the SA vote?

 

[Bubblehead]

Neither Corky.
Can't have a strike authorization without those letters being filed.
Try listening for a change and maybe you will learn something?
I doubt it, but maybe.

Exactly.


"The Hoffa administration came under fire for failing to notify the Federal Mediation
Service five years ago.

The letters sent by Hoffa’s Package Division Director Denis T also puts the company on notice that the UPS and UPS Freight contracts are not final, and are subject to renegotiation, if the members vote to reject the company's offer."

Sweet. I can book my fishing vacation in August now.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

I don't know about the rest of you but I'm real worried about the thought of a strike. Just look at how the company has streamlined things to the point that the non-management people are hardly needed. For instance- not being able to process all loads, EC when no bad weather, not processing all pick up pieces and scanning as tendered late, etc. No question they are well prepared.

Lol.

 

[olroadbeech]

6 billion or 600 billion.....UPS would never be satisfied. UPS is not a person. It is a business that answers to shareholders not employees. We are just pawns to be used and discarded.

Stick up for yourselves and strike if necessary. As a last resort if you don't want to continue to be treated like animals.

Family First. That always should be your priority.
