  • Shipping giant UPS is beginning to train its management employees to step in and keep packages moving next month in the event 330,000 union package handlers, drivers and other rank-and-file workers go on strike.
    The Atlanta-based company said the start of “business continuity training” is not a signal that negotiations with the Teamsters are less likely to result in an agreement on a new, five-year labor contract.

    Oh boy. As a 40 yr current employee of UPS and Teamster member here I will say that UPS management failed miserably in 1997 when we went on strike for 15 days. They could not carry the load of what was then 185,00 Teamsters on the the picket line. Even with the few scabs they had, the company basically came to a screeching halt.. I remember there was even a manager who tried to drive a feeder and unfortunately died when he wrecked it. There are currently 340,000 Teamsters ready to go out and it is just not possible for UPS management to unload, sort then load and deliver the 25 million packages daily to our customers. The UPS pilots will honor our picket lines as well obviously so there will be no overnight Air deliveries either. Stop screwing around UPS and get back to the bargaining table asap. The Teamsters will go out at 12.01 midnight on July 31, 2023. Trust in that.

      What people don’t understand. If ups workers don’t succeed. Labor cost will plummet. These companies are not paying the wages that they are because they like you. Its only because of the unions that they try to match those wages. They will replace you with the lowest wage as they can. Some of these companies are under a contract with their employees. But yet their profits are twice as much as non union. Go figure. There’s plenty of meat left on the bone. If you don’t like the sound of this, it’s probably because you’re a owner or a idiot

      a full time blabbed to me last night lmfao. Apparently in NJ they are closing all but 2 buildings and moving all the supervisors from the closed buildings there. part time will be in the building while full time is out using their personal vehicles to deliver packages. Apparently they are only going to be doing business with medical supplies and light shipments so the supervisors "wont be overwhelmed", but they will lose a lot of money doing so. They will also be overwhelmed no matter what lol. They expect the union to only last 2 weeks with their strike fund. not sure about other states.

    Because it happened during the 1997 UPS strike. Improperly trained management tried, and not all of them survived.
    But UPS doesn't care, it's just a cost of doing business to them. Just like the Teamsters that didn't make it through the pandemic. Acceptable losses, So long as the big money number gets bigger every quarter.

    I was around for the 1997 strike. Back then the pilots, mechanics, and shop repairmen all walked with us. Expect the same this time. Back in 1997 managers also had to have driving experience before becoming a supervisor. That has also changed. They will not be able to move the volume efficiently in the event of a strike. They move more than 5% of the GDP. I urge anyone reading this to call UPS and ask them to get back to the negotiating table. The Teamsters have stated that they will not strike if a tentative agreement is reached. That tells me that the union is willing to talk and UPS is not.

    In 1997 we learned that UPS management failed miserably trying to do the work of only 197,000 (approximately) and that was with less volume. I worked for UPS for 30 years and retired as a shop steward and we had a phrase, "those that do, do, those that can't go into management." They hire supervisors (kids) who have no idea what the job is or how to do it trying to tell employees who have been doing the job longer then they have been alive, how supposedly how to do the job.

They are only used to walking slow or fast, sitting down, standing, walking up and down steps, and passing out papers. Thinking our 5 or 6 supervisors can unload multiple semi trucks, then load about 80 or so trucks, then deliver is insane. They can barely load one truck in a warehouse full of employees on any regular day. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
