    It's horrible what companies like DHL Amazon Fed ex ups etc are doing to workers. They treat the employees as though they already fully automated the workplace and treat them like robots... But then again there'd probably treat the robots better since it's the company property 😤. I'm glad unionizing is back in style and i hope everyone can rise up and obtain better conditions. It's really sad, but also hopeful.

      UPS's workforce has been unionized for a while now... Tbh, i don't know how that effects working conditions, but given what I've heard about their pay rates, i assume conditions are also majorly improved

      FedEx says the same thing when you get an injury "what could you have done differently?". Motherfucker you think I asked to get injured? Almost every aspect of their "safety protocols" are filled to the brim with finding interesting ways to blame the worker for their injury.

      ​@@patconner2638 I'm a UPS Driver so I can say from experience, yes, our pay & benefits (which should be the standard) are better because of the Union. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop the company from treating us like just another number on their spreadsheet. 1907 UPS was founded by James Casey whom personally requested that the Teamsters represent his employees around 1916. The stark difference between an employer asking the union to represent it's employees versus the modern capitalist viewpoint of 'profit over people' has created these corporate driven low-standard conditions in our country. Low wages, unsafe working conditions, harassment by management to work harder, faster, more efficient... so the already rich can show record profits year after year, hand over fist.
      In conclusion to your "I don't know how that affects working conditions":
      UPSers are still pushed to the limit day after day. The company considers us 'industrial athletes' yet as 'athletes' we don't get an 'off-season' we get a peak-season. We're doing their bid work whilst they reap the vast majority of the monetary rewards. Do corporate executives deserve to live their lavish lives as we slave away to generate their profit?
      The major differences with union representation: Higher pay, better benefits, not intimidated by management, no fear of losing my job because 'management doesn't like you' or for any unjust reason for that matter. Pension, bargaining power, unity in the workforce, a sense of honor for a job that is supposed to be a career that one can eventually retire from & live happily thereafter. The Teamsters Union has given me a voice, & their is a lot to be said.

    I worked at OnTrac, a scumbag warehouse operation in Sun Valley, CA (greater LA region). All I can say is the managers were horrible, one was abusive, the drivers were abusive (one punched a package sorter), and the mask enforcement was largely non-existent and dozens of people got sick early into the pandemic. I made dozens of reports of people not wearing masks since my first day and mostly got ignored, but also isolated, bullied, and pressured to quit my job for it. A manager literally asked me if I would be more comfortable if I didn't come to work.

      Yes, the culture of management and even so many rank-and-file workers in so many workplaces is to put the company above safety & well-being all over this country. They hire and promote ruthless bullies to help to perpetuate this.

    Hey I work for them! Can confirm that they are an awful company. They start every meeting talking about how important safety is and then ignore every single suggestion you give them about how to make the workplace safer. They boasted about making $4 billion net profit in 2021 and yet they never fix or replace any of their broken and dangerous equipment. They were "generous" enough to give us a one-time hazard payment for a whopping $300 for working throughout the pandemic. As soon as profits stopped soaring they did layoffs for 1/3rd of the staff and now expect the remaining 2/3rds to do the workload of a full staff. Unsurprisingly 10% of those people then proceeded to get back injuries. I'm lucky enough to work for a unionized location so I at least receive decent compensation, can't even imagine how dreadful the conditions are when there's no union representation.

    By law a person can only lift X amount of kg, so therefor they have these electronic type of lifts. But most of them are also old and unreliable and most of them are unused.
    Also the inspection that has to monitor if workers rights are respected “forgot” to go for a visit in the last 10 or more years 🫠🫠🫠 even after getting clear signs of worker rights being ignored.

      @user-hv6wb5gk8p Рік тому +11

      They do have a decent reputation among parcel services here but that's mostly due to the strong unions they inherited after buying the Deutsche Post in '96. They would be way worse if we let them.
      A strong example is the way they're trying to undermine unions by hiring several levels of subcontractors when possible. They hire subcontractors who hire subcontractors who hire subcontractors, and on the lower levels you're essentially left with "companies" consisting of a few eastern European guys driving around in wildly unsafe, rusty vans while earning less than minimum wage.

    So many of America's problems would disappear if working Americans were just paid a decent wage for a change. They are suffering from a half-century of stagnant and declining pay due to voodoo trickle-down Reaganomics which we were promised would lift all boats. It didn't. They are long overdue for a very substantive raise. My understanding is that if pegged to productivity (because “hard work is rewarded”) the minimum wage should be well over $20, and if it went up at the same rate as Wall Street bonuses (hardly work?) it would be over $40. Can you imagine what it would be if it went up at the same rate as CEO compensation? Over 1000%! From BusinessInsider: “The typical full-time salary in America would be $102,000 if wages had kept up with growth - but the economy has failed 90% of workers...”

      I guess part of this is the different set of laws. In Germany, managers are responsible for protecting their workers' safety and they are held personally responsible by the criminal system if someone gets injured due to lack of safety protection by them (i.e. the state's attorney will come knocking at the manager's door and ask hard questions if something goes wrong).

    • @sasas845

They claim safety is their priority, they make 64 billion a year, and then tell us its not in the budget to replace an entire truck... its sickening and corporations are all monsters.

    The airline industry charges you $30.00 or more depending upon the number of bags you check as well as their weight. Airlines such as Hawaiian pay $12.00 per hour.

I hear people on tug and ramp say they sleep all the time. That’s why a lot of stuff has been put on hold cause DHL been throwing money at us.

    Dhl genesis logistics is just as bad if not worse! Chesapeake warehouse got all their fire hydrants zipped tied but drivers are not allowed to carry a pocket knife. Safety risk.
    They recently laid off in texas and in Va and probably will do more…they’ve had several law suits and in their way for another class action law suit because director for region doesn’t know the companies policies, who he works for, yet tries enforcing them by misquoting them. (Example, doctors note are excusable in policy but he tells all warehouses he’s over that they are not! Dishonesty of any kind is also quoted in policy, which he is breaking)
    They also withhold information that would help drivers make better choices that fit for themselves, and wait until it’s too late to tell the truth, when a driver has to make choice and no time to contemplate the “stipulations “ that was suddenly exposed.
    They’ve also given a verbal contract in promising a 5 day work paycheck, however they are putting drivers as “spare” which does not guarantee a route, meaning NOt guaranteed work week paycheck. They will only allow them to work warehouse which is half their pay that is contracted.
    HR has been called several times by multiple people for years, and he does nothing! They won’t even allow a paper trail like email, you have to call. This way, there is no trail of evidence of anything being said or could easily be lied to.
    No one trust this company or the companies that use them. (7/11, Walmart, )
    This information is nowhere in applications, interviews, policies, etc, only by word of mouth only then to be changed when out to test or forcing supervisors to show their hand. By the time, it’s too late. They got you by the balls. Breaking basic and human laws as well as their own company policies.

    I feel that. My workplace is so anti-L&I that every safety problem is the employee fault and their is a anti-L&I report website paper in the office on how to avoid L & I claims. The safety report in the break room never says that the managers did something wrong. It's always the employees should have known better. I told my store manager about table cloth being too long and my coworker almost slipping and falling. I'm thinking now about getting scissors and fixing it myself cause nothing was done. I would love to start a union sadly I know many of my coworkers are anti-union. I don't want to fight if I have little to no solidarity.

      We have a main ramp and a “north ramp”. You have to cross an active taxi lane, WITHIN a drive lane after stopping at a stop bar or else you can be fined. Obviously, not everyone stops at the stop bars but no one ever crosses the drive lane lines. I have had one of my drivers 3 years ago accidentally hit our feeder plane because of this. Driver error but there is a lot of factors.

We did get two 40¢ raised and not the others a few years after but that’s because our wage went up over 7$ extra. So we got more than a ¢ raise. I agree a union should come in but not for safety. It’s manly managers that don’t care. The company itself does. If teamsters comes in most likely we will lose vacation days and lose even more hours.

    Jessica was right on! She was very unsafe when she had a passenger in her tug without permission and almost ran me over due to lack of attention on her part. She’s lying about 3rd shift. They begged people to fill it out. $6.50 in raises over 2 years is what came. When I was injured my bosses put me on light duty and came up to our nurses office to see how I was. The ridiculous amount of safety training I have to endure every year is ridiculous, and this is full of nonsense. I hope they understand what this means moving forward. DHL pays very well and has excellent benefits. The union dues will take a big bite out of that. I’ll always enjoy the 20 smoke breaks they take throughout their shift and naps out in their tug in the north ramp.
