Fuck that I'm not trying to have my Amazon packages delayed over this shit
One of the biggest strikes in US history is brewing at UPS
- Thread starter Joe Money
- Start date
They do the same at FedEx and Amazon Logistics. They get a day or two of service to help out because they don’t hire enough help.
It all comes down to inflation and payment. Can’t boast record profits and pay for the workers in CX, uX and operations is not increasing. Corporate greed is finally catching up to them.
Man I am dreading the shipping season. Will have to add to the site must order by Dec 1st to ensure packages are delivered
Oh yeah. Forgot about that. I had to shave as well. No facial hair below the lips or some shit.
Isn’t Michael Franzese a big investor in that franchise?
maybe the dude said that.
I personally don't think a company should dictate your appearance unless they're breaking you off some real money.
I worked at UPS for a few months back when I was 19. That shit was SLAVERY. Northwest unload. Summertime in a hot ass warehouse, packages come down a big ass slide by the hundreds and
thousands...with a MF standing right behind you with a watch counting how many boxes you throw onto multiple belts. They fired me multiple times. FUCK UPS.

This is why I drive Over The Road (OTR).
No stress, no aggravation like what I have read in this thread.
When you work local, they will work you hard and pay you crap, cuz they know you are mainly doing the job to be home everyday, unlike OTR where they pamper you to some extent.

You can't be part of a major player in the transportation system and go on strike. I just went thru this with the railroads. It's all talk but the president and Congress will force you to work as it will cripple the economy. These unions need to get off the golf course and out the bars and find better ways to leverage the companies to get worker benefits. Because believe me all the CEOs and COOs etc know you can't strike. They'll weight you out like they did us last year.
White House would be suicidal to fuck with this.
This strike is gonna happen regardless.
They had plenty of time to negotiate and agree on the contract. UPS is just gonna let it roll and say “FUCK YOU Teamsters”.
UPS has been wanting to bust the Union for decades. They got rid of UPS Freight, now they moving on to other sections of the company.
Wall Street wants full elimination of American Labor Union.

Interesting that I’m finding out about this deal on BGOL.
I received no news alerts on this all day.
I had my radio on the news in my truck earlier and heard nothing.
The corporate news media ain’t happy with this obviously.
BIG CONGRATS TO UPS!!!
One of the cats in my bourbon group posted this earlier in the chat. Looks like they did good.
No doubt, and most important congratulations to me, this means my Amazon packages will still be coming on time!
I don't know if it is so much a sign of being displeased as it is disinterest in matters affecting working people.
MSNBC has, it seems, dedicated the bulk of its prime time programming to "Trump indictment watch." Maybe that's just easier to feed people?
Nobody should be surprised.
UPS is already scheming on how to screw over the Teamsters when the contract comes back up for renewal.
