Ninety minutes? Why did UPS wait so long?
“Good for UPS. The employees walked off the job. They deserve to get fired. “
I’d say this is symptomatic if a systemic management problem. Somebody should take notice. It’s really difficult to get 250 people to come to your aid. Some Ting Wong. It will probably surface again, sooner rather than later.
Good hardworking employees who... Stopped working.... They deserved to be fired
Wildcat strikes are not authorized by contract. They formed a wildcat strike..the union cant back them, although they might try, and they get the axe. End of Story.
Bust a deal, lose your wheels.
It’s interesting to be living in such an “employees’ rights” culture in an economy that makes employees very expendable.
Domenick DeDomenico, 40, was in a coma for 10 days after getting hit by a car last year while delivering packages for UPS,” the Daily News’ Ginger Adams Otis reported. “He fought back from serious brain injuries and needed a year of speech and physical therapy.”
You have experienced what few on earth experience
It should inform you that God has taken care of you and you should fear not, what man can do to you.
Move on to your dream.
There was a time when I was a card carrying “corporatist” meaning anything that corporate (global) wanted I supported.
Those days are gone. I’m conservative now, meaning I support the USA Constitution and the intended version of Bill of Rights (not as parsed by the elites), secure borders, ethics, fairness, and a government by and of “we the people” and not by “we the bundlers, oligarchs, CEOs and unions” who can buy Congress with the chump change using other people’s money.
I don’t support overpaid hired hand bankers and corporate CEOs unless the shareholders who take the risk have absolute final say on governance and compensation, and taxpayers on bailouts, and NOT the beholden bought and paid for members of Congress on both sides that infest our Capitol.
The bottom line is I support the need to advance policies that make America what we once were, and not as a country indebted to oligarchs that benefit only elitists.
An hour went by, CEO locked the doors at 1PM, fired everyone (200+ people). Thank goodness we live in a right to work state. Owner later closed plant and moved to Texas.
I don’t like FedEx, but for the next few weeks I would be using them until the replacements take over...
Unions suck pond water ....worthless blackmailers IMO.
Look for the NLRB to get involved.
Ubama didn't pack it with Commies for nothing.
“They took a grievance with one employee and turned it into notices of termination with 250 workers,” New York City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer told The Queens Courier.”
No; Mr Bramer has things backward. There was no “vote to strike”, there was simply 250 workers who turned a single worker’s unsubstantiated complaint into a personal matter, about them, which it wasn’t, and went off the job for 90 minutes, which is NOT allowed under their own union contract. UPS can let it’s unionized employees keep repeating such actions, with workers paying no penalty for them, or it can strongly remind them that they work by the very contracts they agreed to, not their own personal rules of conduct.
IPS has a depot in Queens. Maybe if they mention Doug Heffernan as a reference they can get a job there.
Looks like UPS taking advantage of situation to clean house
and get rid of bunch of union slugs......
The antistrike clause was violated. Break the contract, the contract is gone.
Holder will be involved
UPS will cease delivery to te White house, doj and dept of labor
I have seen Teamsters fired before for this exact thing in my old company. The 250 number however makes this case likely to not be so similar.
If the number were a dozen or so it might fly, but not ten dozen. There will be a compromise with likely just few ringleaders expunged.
Hope they all do get the boot though, I despise those thugs.
