If a deal is not reached, and if these hundreds of thousands of workers go on strike, It would likely be the costliest, most economically disruptive strike in more than 100 years, according to a Michigan-based economic think-tank that studies the economic impact of labor action. #UPSstrike #Teamstersstrike #Economics #Labor

"....they had a thing called Time on Task. Basically, they had a quota they had to meet every day, but Amazon is not required to tell them what that quota was. So at the end of the day, they would tell you whether or not you made it and you can’t see it so you don’t know if they’re pulling numbers out of their ass. You don’t know where this is coming from. And they can use it as a reason to get rid of you."

It's great that UPS drivers are getting expanded AC in more of their trucks. But it's 2023, and how in the actual fuck did UPS still have trucks without AC in the first place? #UPS #UPSstrike

UPS PILOTS WON’T FLY IF TEAMSTERS STRIKE
The union representing UPS pilots says they will not cross picket lines if Teamsters drivers and package sorters walk off the job when the current contract expires Aug. 1, resulting in the immediate shutdown of the express logistics company’s global air operations.

The Hill centers the #UPSStrike as a threat to #SupplyChain while ignoring #apocalyptic warnings abt #ClimateCrisis impacts on our #FoodSecurity
Fascinatingly #Fascist

#UPSStrike #UPSTeamsters you got this!!!
A year ago UPS Teamsters asked about heat protection and safety plans. UPS had plenty of time to make plans to protect their workers.

Given the insidious stranglehold corporations have on American democracy (courtesy, in large part, of Citizen United) it’s hard not to feel like the success or failure of this new unionization effort and reinvigoration of the labor movement will have major implications for our current democratic crisis.

(Ep. 71) UPS Decides to FORCE #Teamsters to #STRIKE or to SUBMIT!
UPS has bargained in bad faith with their unionized #Teamster workforce, left part-timers behind to struggle in "part time poverty", and are now walking away on the brink of a deal.
#UPS wants to harm it's part-time warehouse help while the Teamsters have doubled down on uplifting everybody under their contract
Which side are you on?

As mass media coverage of the #upsstrike focuses on “supply chain issues,” “small businesses,” “the economy,” and “disruption,” today is a great day to remember that almost all of us are humans first, then workers, *then* consumers — and it benefits all of us to stand in solidarity with other workers (including the Teamsters, WGA, the rail workers who were undermined by our federal government, etc.)
-
As a fellow union member, I support what they are wanting. Companies have gotten it their way for far too long.
-
I support workers. Period.
-
As a railroader who recently weathered a very similar struggle, I am expressing my solidarity with #UPS workers in their struggle to get a fair contract. If your Scamazon package takes a little longer to get to your home later this year because they’re on strike, suck it up and maybe take a moment to appreciate what those people do for our economy. #labor #UPSstrike

"UPS was sending us to die for their profits without batting an eye. I also had family members that caught covid and passed away. In spring of 2021 suffering from burnout and depression I suffered from heat exhaustion that put me on disability for two months. That was my experience during the pandemic. One good thing to come out of it was our solidarity and new found militancy to fight the bosses after that incredibly abusive time period."
