Not looking good for Christmas deliveries.
bloated and political Government Unions go on strike???
My instincts say: Go for it!!
Mayor Pete, are you listening?
You should be. This may effect your yob.
They sure would erase a lot of national goodwill for helping to keep everyone alive through the past two years.
But, but Biden will negotiate for us like he did for the rail unions!
Setting up another fake "emergency" - and then claiming 'Oh my gosh, Biden stepped in and "saved" the US economy & supply chain at the last moment!'
Can we apply for their jobs?
UPS is self-insured, meaning any claims come directly out of UPS funds. Look for a lot of breakage of electronics especially. I used to collect vintage stereo gear and when things got rough between the union and UPS years back, there was a lot of items that arrived broken. I don’t think the UPS workers knew exactly what the packages contained, but in beating up packages it’s electronics that are going to suffer damage more easily than a lot of other stuff.
Just in time for the election! This is gonna make the commie union thugs look good.
When UPS made the decision to go woke and cease firearms deliveries I put a sign at the end of my drive . It reads “NO UPS TRUCKS”. I stopped the driver down the road and told him . He was embarrassed by it but said there was nothing he could do . I suppose if management told him to run over my kids if they get in the way he would more than likely do it . Yossum Boss !
and union contracts are usually indexed to minwage
Share the wealth.
These folks work their arses off.
Give ‘em preferred voting stock.
What you thought I was talking about cash?
or shiitey common stock?
Give ‘em a piece of the pie.
Watch and see how “Owner” & “Boss” help improve and keep good service.
This should help FedEx.
Can’t win either way. Fedex was one of the top contributors to the Obama campaigns in 2004 and 2008.
We are in crisis and unions want to exploit it, they always do, even during wars.
“Throughout 1941 the determination of unions to expand their respective organizations and to improve wages triggered hundreds of strikes. Led by the CIO, whose members constituted 70 percent of the total number of strikers, 2.36 million workers conducted work stoppages that year. Around 4,200 strikes represented one of the highest annual strike counts in American history. The huge 1941 strike wave featured a conflict at the North American Aviation plant in Inglewood, California, which threatened to slow down President Roosevelt’s defense efforts.
A walkout by 4,000 workers occurred in June 1941 at the North American Aviation plant.”
“In 1942 there were only 2,970 work stoppages involving 840,000 workers, down drastically from the 4,200 strikes involving 2.36 million workers in 1941. By 1943 the number of strikes rose to over 3,700, with 1.98 million workers participating, and another 2 million workers engaged in some 5,000 strikes in 1944. A total of 3.5 million workers struck in 1945. In total, some 14,000 strikes and around 8.32 million workers (about a fourth of the workforce) struck during the four war years.”
The Teamster union at UPS is just posturing on its demands in the upcoming contract, but usually ends up giving in to mostly what the company offers.
Working in and driving the package cars, the medium size brown vans, is tough, hot in summer, cod in winter and jumping in and out is hard on knees and hips. They have to carry up to 80 pounds and that is hard on your back. All the trucks have GPS and the supervisor calls if you take too long to take a dump or the truck isn’t moving. If you have an accident that’s your fault, you may get fired.
Wait. Isn’t UPS employee owned? They are striking because they didn’t give themselves enough benefits?
Bezos and his fleet of Amazon trucks are ready to roll. Their trucks will wear a rainbow livery.
So now Yahoo and the rest of the corrupt media are pushing for strikes. Just another page from the Marxist playbook.
(Interesting side note - iPhone autocorrect does not suggest “Marxist” as a possible spelling when typing “Marxi”)
