America's Victory: The 1997 UPS Strike

Go Dave Murray!

wow.... You guys just don't get it. If UPS didn't have a union then the workers would make more money, for instance, FedEx starts their workers at 11.85/hr compared to UPS' 8.50/hr. Lazy workers benefit from the union and hard workers get screwed over. Without a union you could get a promotion based on your work-ethic... not your dam seniority. I work for UPS and I can't get a promotion even though I work my ass off... I'm making just as much as those lazy workers who don't even try.

ups would be better without management.

I agree.

I'm a member for 12 years...and I'm proud of it too!

I'm a Teamster too (also shop steward) I've seen both sides of UPS management and Union bureaucracy. So understand what your saying. but I'd rather stay a Teamster than go into UPS management.

I've been working for UPS for 12 years and I met Ron Carey and Jim Hoffa Jr.

Iam part of local 705 and i will be damed that the fultime drivers take away our benifits!

Hi i work for ups in northbrook Illinois if we part timer get a crapy contract i will say no and i hope that we will go on strike.
Its a crock that they want to give us a 20 cent raise thats bull and i hope that all part timers will say no to crapy raises.

If you know anything about ups and life in general you know that there are good and bad both ways, there are snakes in management as well as in the union, but there are good guys in management and in the union too. I;ve done both and am union now but I've seen good and bad on both sides.

F**k ups managemnet they are nothing but snakes.

Management contradicts everything that they say and so does the union

your a lying shitsack,if someone was realy not performing,they would'nt be there!

Hey buttonman, I worked for UPS, as a teamster, for years. I put in a fair days work for a fair days pay, right. The problem is too many of the teamsters have this attitude of "F**k management" without really knowing why they say it. Everyday, I see people who's poor work performance is rewarded with union protection from termination. Go pound sand asshole!

let me guess,your an asshole ups supervisor that never worked a real job,and did a days work,right?what a dillweed !
