I’m sick and tired of the media trying to frame everything as if this is unfair for small businesses. This country is controlled by these multi national corporations that don’t give a damn about employees. The public supports this strike and stay strong UPS workers.
UPS doesnt want to pay part-timers more because they want part-timers to quit before getting to 9 months so they don't become teamsters and get benefits. That's what the company is stalling on. They want the teamsters to stop getting members so when the current ones retire there wont be teamsters at UPS. Its a hard job and parttimers last as short as half a shift. When they realize the work load for 16$ an hour they quit because even fast food pays better than UPS part time nowadays.
@@gremlinking5640I can only imagine. I get IPS deliveries from time to time. The delivery person literally runs back to the truck and takes off like a bat out of hell. That gives me a glimpse of how hard their typical day is. Despite working like a dog during my working years, I was continually screwed over by corporations. With one in particular, a fortune 500 telecommunications company, after receiving a national award for superior job performance, what should have earned me a promotion got me laid off instead. Go figure.
For the uninformed, one of the huge wage issues we have right now, among others, is UPS is giving out MRAs (market rate adjustments) to new hires since they are having such a hard time hiring people to work in the warehouse. What this means is a part timer who has been at UPS for the last 4 or 5 years is making less than 18 an hour, but a new hire doing the same job is making 22 or 23 an hour, despite the 5 year employee having been through the hell of working in a UPS warehouse during covid. Then, after about 6 months or so however, UPS is taking that MRA away from the new hire and blaming it on us saying we, the union, are the ones taking it away. Not only does UPS think this is perfectly okay, they want to cut wages even further on top of it. It blows my mind that there actually people defending this shit and think we, teamsters, are the ones being greedy.
They pick and choose where they pay what. I worked in Vernon city right next to LA where UPS got away with paying under minimum wage because technically it wasn’t LA I was making 12 when the minimum was 15 elsewhere
"We literally aren't being greedy, now give us MOARRRRRRR of your money NOW!!1". Reasonable, logical people: I understand your frustration, but it's their business, their cash, and they are free to decide how to allocate resources.

Yes, it's time consuming and it's hard work, but the end-result is worth it. You: NOOOOO.

An Amazon driver can't do the job. I'm a ups driver. Ups puts ground, next day, second day, international, 3 day, and ground deliveries on the same truck. Plus scheduled pickups running concurrent with delivery times
If I had a dollar for every time I've heard that. And also, if I had a nickel for everytime one of them got dq'ed or threw in the towel before their 30 days, I'd have even more than from the dollars.
Local 396 checking in Ups needs to pay up , I was forced to work 12 hours a day & 6 days a week for over a year on a PT job. 16 years of service & the work conditions are nonstop hostile. We need a change
I have multiple friends that were Fired for not working the OT (for a PT position)That is forced. Pandemic or not. While you we’re probably at home getting paid to do nothing, we worked 12 hour days & 6 days a week. I hope your opinion is that from a UPS worker that actually knows what they are talking about….

Strike pay for preload is roughly the same in my region. Drivers get about 1/3 of usual paycheck. Preload deserves more money period. Especially the good ones
I'm a Mailman, say what you will or won't about the strike. We will be overwhelmed with a lot more packages for both pick up and delivery. But on a purely personal basis and nothing else. Those long hours during the middle of the Florida Summer....that's gonna suck. So if they go on strike think about your Mailman our trucks have no AC either and we will be working a lot of long 12 hour plus days without a day off during the strike. Cold water, and a running lawn sprinkler we can use to cool down will be much appreciated. And yes a lot of us cool of in sprinklers if the Temps are high.
Glad to see the media trying to spin the narrative against us. I've been working until 10 or 10:30 most nights. Been with the company a long time and only get 20 bucks an hour to do twice the work as other drivers. Most of us are barely surviving. Sorry if you have to pay for shipping for the business you own lady. It'll only be for a week or 2. You'll live. We are dying.
A lot of us see through the bullshit though. It's always the greedy union and the lazy union worker vs the poor little corporation. I worked union jobs all my working years. I worked my ass off. For that, I got screwed over by corporations over and over again. Only a corporation "rewards" you for excellent job performance by laying you off.
@Backup_Punter I was part time for 10 and a half years. I know how you feel. People started 5 years after me and made more than me... this is for the part timers as well. I got most of what I want already. But we aren't done yet. This is all of us together, part time and full time.
UPS certainly won't make it 30 days into a strike. Lol. Those who don't like being unionized have plenty of alternatives to work somewhere else. Who are we? Teamsters!
This is Granny. I'm Legacy Local 12. You get those kids AC & living wage. My car was 139* in 90* weather. I won't support bad deals that break companies & cause cut payroll. But those kids need it.
The union takes 30 dollars out of my first check.even i worked 4 hours for the week and they take 30 still.are we in the union yet idk been over a month with ups part time with no extra hours given at peak season hard labor
The only thing that is keep the Union from agreeing to the contract, is UPS not willing to fix the wages of the part timers in the warehouse. That's it. It's so simple, and UPS is willing to jeopardize businesses and customers, because they don't want to pay their most important employees the actual pay they deserve.
Why interview “small business” owners instead of the low paid ups worker? How are the low paid worker’s affected?. Those well off business owners can ship with USPS, FEDEX, etc…
Cool. Way to make the union look bad by leading with the poor small business owners, just 25 seconds for the union, followed by repeating verbatim UPS' PR team, followed again by the poor small businesses. No mention of the FOURTEEN BILLION dollars in profit UPS made in 2022. No mention of the number of drivers suffering from heat stroke or straight up dying. No mention of the horrific split schedules for warehouse workers. Yes, a strike would be devastating for a lot of people, but that's UPS' fault, not the workers standing up for themselves. Get it right. I guess it's par for the course for a company owned by Bob Iger (for now). I don't know how you "journalists" live with yourselves though.
Management:Arrive at work early looking sharp in a pressed uniform,clean shaven,shoes polished.Grab a water and a piece of ups fruit and that should get you through the extreme heat and the package car that is well over 100 degrees.Welcome to what Teamsters do everyday, all nights, in all weather 365 days a year.Use your powerzone when lifting those 150 lbs packages and take your lunch between the 4th and 5 th hour and whatever you do dont be paid over. And finally dont piss off our customers, tbey are our friends and families and really dont care for you.The word has been out for long enough, they know you treat your employees like shit.
If we strike I hope “Hello Fresh” takes their business elsewhere and never returns. I’m sick of wet boxes and the smell of rotten food because they don’t use enough ice in 110 degree heat to preserve this stuff. They should use foam coolers instead of cardboard. UPS must really value that account and I wonder who pays all the claims.
Do you think that ups packages Your food? Lol That gets packaged and the ice packs get put in at the hello fresh distribution center. Then ups has to pick up the orders. You sound like a real moron.
Yeah. Nothing like the smell of rotting salmon that’s been sitting in a 110degree trailer getting pulled out and fouling up the entire hub for the rest of the sort.
Well I guess now they’re going to have to pay for the delivery sometimes I feel like I’m doing charity work with how the weight system is off it says 1lbs but it feels like 45 lbs box
THEY HAVE FEDEX AND UNITED STATES POST OFFICE, WE WILL SURVIVE! MY SON CAN NOT SURVIVE THESE WORK CONDITIONS, LOW WAGES , WHILE UPS SHITS LOADS OF MONEY! NOT TO MENTION HEALTH AND SAFETY, THE HEAT IS KILLING HIM , CHANGING JOBS IS NOT THAT EASY!
To anyone considering scabbing for ups during the strike, you’ll be the first laid off as soon as the regular workers come back. And if you are a regular worker, you’ll always be known as a scab
That’s fine you will see many doing just that remember the 70’s when the many Shipyards were on strike 🪧? Yep they replaced every single one of them with new hires or scabs and yes they booted them off when the strike was over . Just like you said will happen at UPS . What your missing is the unbelievable number of injuries that were going on cars hit and glass broken just by traveling to work day to day crossing the line through the gates. So will that happen as well ? Back in 1973 - 2023 possibly of a strike hmmm how ironic , my opinion of course. let’s hope that both sides can see stupidity of this problem come to agreement before the 31st . 🙏
@@drjhale9801 I want to get a fair contract, and if UPS isn’t going to give one then we’ll strike. Simple as that, UPS could only “replace” 10% of us temporarily in 97. I’ll probably replace less. UPS should see they will lose so much money if we strike. Of course I’d rather a fair contract and no strike, but that seems very unlikely. Also it takes weeks to vote on this, agreements is not getting met before the the 31st
Yeah typical. They will accept a huge kickback last minute and accept a sub par contract. There will be no strike and upsers will continue to pay dues to the most corrupt union in history. But don’t worry they will give you a hot dog when it’s time to vote.
You will lose at least 20% of your volume, which will result in layoffs. Volume that will come back all because of part timers who will not be here 6 months from now.
UPS needs to pay up, but sometimes unions give in because there is a side deal with the company and tell the workers that the company comes up with union bosses and are guaranteed 100k a year. Annuities are what companies do, and that's just business.
So they making 40 dollars an hour and crying about the snow heat and long hours poor ladies I an sure the over the road truckers have it so much better oh boo hoo ups
Hey, to whomever is at the FAT CAT SPOT in UPS Be Fair SUPPORT YOUR HARD WORKING STAFF ON THE ROAD, OFF THE ROAD , WAREHOUSES, AIRCRAFT, ETC!

How dare they put some bits babe and some snack babe and made them the damn opening for this news insult you can tell that GMA is clueless and siding for UPS . What a suck up ! 🎉
It's actually sort of challenging to think of where the mafia hasn't been at some point or another. Looking only at the Teamsters of many decades ago is pointless.
UPS made almost 15 BILLION in profits last year PROFITS MEANING THAT IS AFTER COSTS yet they increased their cost for shipping claiming "inflation" and blamed the economy like all the other corps that made bank while screwing over the workers and customers
They do, it's a union, they take care of their own, but also in 1992 UPS lost ~$56 million per day of the strike, that would be the same as $126 million today, and they're bigger now than they were back then so...
Amazon isn't in that business. I could care less, I have job security even if ups lost 30% of its business. That's about the amount of work the competition, usps and fedex, not Amazon maybe could handle combined
imagine taking a job for a set working rate then that rate getting cut by roughly 6 dollars an hour after a few months without warning this is very common in corporations and anyone that says "you knew what you got when you signed up" is just proving they have never worked a real job in their life
What this strike is actually about. The market rate for new hires is about $22/hr but the union has negotiated wages scale that pays much lower than the market rate. UPS was willing to pay market rates to new hires but the union did not like that because the new hires would be making more money than workers who have been at the company for years. The existing workers were not able to get a raise because the union had already had a wage scale that did not allow for that. Now the union is trying negotiate a new wage scale that takes that into account but they are being unreasonable how much money they are expecting.
@@johnlefebre7495 What a fair market wage is would depend on the region. Workers in New York are of course going to make more than workers in Kansas. So $25/hr is very reasonable in some areas and unreasonable in others.
UPS should just hire Amazon drivers to replace the union strikers. Im a shareholder and ill be damned if my share price has to suffer because of this nonsense 😡
Then I guess you'll be damned 🙄 You are naive if you think Amazon workers or any other scabs can do our job or would want to do our job. if it wasn't for us 340,000 Teamsters you wouldn't have any shares. Maybe don't put all your eggs in the UPS basket.
I am a UPS employee, I am a part time employee that works my AS$ off 6 days a week for only 16 an hour. We are over worked and underpaid! When Covid hit and everyone was buying stuff online WE were the ones that helped and got your packages delivered! And WE got no raise, no bonus, not even a thanks! It’s our time America 🤎💛

What your missing is the unbelievable number of injuries that were going on cars hit and glass broken just by traveling to work day to day crossing the line through the gates. So will that happen as well ? Back in 1973 - 2023 possibly of a strike hmmm how ironic , my opinion of course. let’s hope that both sides can see stupidity of this problem come to agreement before the 31st . 🙏
@@drjhale9801 I want to get a fair contract, and if UPS isn’t going to give one then we’ll strike. Simple as that, UPS could only “replace” 10% of us temporarily in 97. I’ll probably replace less. UPS should see they will lose so much money if we strike. Of course I’d rather a fair contract and no strike, but that seems very unlikely. Also it takes weeks to vote on this, agreements is not getting met before the the 31st
fedex is drooling
Join team!!
Don’t worry UPser’s. Typical contract negotiations. 💪💪
Same shit, different century.
Yeah typical. They will accept a huge kickback last minute and accept a sub par contract. There will be no strike and upsers will continue to pay dues to the most corrupt union in history. But don’t worry they will give you a hot dog when it’s time to vote.
This is greedalism, aka capitalism at work. They wanted it and you got it.
Under communism there would be no ups and no jobs.
Do a story on what's really happening in sdf in Louisville KY, the largest hub. All those people are getting screwed way worse by union and company.
Local 822. FYI the company wanted us to take a pay cut
That's too many
Union's for other
Employers and contractors
If it’s brown flush it down
Can't have No one corporate cause of transports
I don't think any UPS associates should get anything until they learn how to deliver packages without damaging them
Solidarity 💪
You will lose at least 20% of your volume, which will result in layoffs. Volume that will come back all because of part timers who will not be here 6 months from now.
FED EX AND AMAZON UPS IS HISTORY
Maybe UPS should cough up what they want if it's the losses are that concerning
I have been using FedEx since the strike has been talked about, I'm sure there are a lot more companies using FedEx for the same reason.
That is a insult. Folks that cross the picket line will never be invited into the family.
UPS needs to pay up, but sometimes unions give in because there is a side deal with the company and tell the workers that the company comes up with union bosses and are guaranteed 100k a year. Annuities are what companies do, and that's just business.
God, I hope it happens. I want to strike.
They union taking the wrong approach supposed to bid its Nafta etc railroad retirement
Government contracts etc
Dollar and Thrifty car rental is owned by Hertz. Those employees need union representation

How many strikes do we need in this country? 😂
A lot more than what we have right now.
So they making 40 dollars an hour and crying about the snow heat and long hours poor ladies I an sure the over the road truckers have it so much better oh boo hoo ups
Hey, to whomever is at the FAT CAT SPOT in UPS Be Fair SUPPORT YOUR HARD WORKING STAFF ON THE ROAD, OFF THE ROAD , WAREHOUSES, AIRCRAFT, ETC! Can't possibly be worth the loss of business not to reward those who make it possible for YOU TO BE A TOP DOG OR FAT CAT! My admiration for all of you hard working people at UPS. THANK YOU and BEST WISHES for SUCCESS! STAY SAFE !
Biden will step up
How dare they put some bits babe and some snack babe and made them the damn opening for this news insult you can tell that GMA is clueless and siding for UPS . What a suck up ! 🎉
Just pay them more.
Don't like unions? Go work at FedEx instead. Simple as that.
Are the Teamsters still Mafia based?
No, but guess what? The mafia had their feelers out in numerous other areas back then too.
It's actually sort of challenging to think of where the mafia hasn't been at some point or another. Looking only at the Teamsters of many decades ago is pointless.
Hoffa is gone so no
By the time these shippers are done it's going to cost $100 to ship a stick of gum
UPS made almost 15 BILLION in profits last year
PROFITS MEANING THAT IS AFTER COSTS
yet they increased their cost for shipping claiming "inflation" and blamed the economy like all the other corps that made bank while screwing over the workers and customers
🌷🌹👍💯
This just in work someplace else...
Fire any striker and replace them with non-union illegal immigrants who would glady take the job. Minimal training required, win win for all.
Fucking scab
They go on strike they better have some money saved
They do, it's a union, they take care of their own, but also in 1992 UPS lost ~$56 million per day of the strike, that would be the same as $126 million today, and they're bigger now than they were back then so...
@@Dysiode 🤣
Amazon it is your turn to take the business from ups😅
Watch more and more Amazon workers start to strike.
Amazon isn't in that business. I could care less, I have job security even if ups lost 30% of its business. That's about the amount of work the competition, usps and fedex, not Amazon maybe could handle combined
Amazon only delivers they're own stuff... so yeah that's not going to work. They also drive cute little vans and don't do pickups.
Amazon has Usps doing their jobs. I highly doubt they can take ups responsibility
Ups you knew what u we’re getting into we you accepted the job.
What's your point? Wanting more from profits we built is wrong. I'm happy, but will get more. you're a terd
imagine taking a job for a set working rate
then that rate getting cut by roughly 6 dollars an hour after a few months without warning
this is very common in corporations and anyone that says "you knew what you got when you signed up" is just proving they have never worked a real job in their life
UPS need to kick out the evil unions
teamsters making over 20 million a month
People can work at FedEx if they don't like unions.
What this strike is actually about. The market rate for new hires is about $22/hr but the union has negotiated wages scale that pays much lower than the market rate. UPS was willing to pay market rates to new hires but the union did not like that because the new hires would be making more money than workers who have been at the company for years. The existing workers were not able to get a raise because the union had already had a wage scale that did not allow for that. Now the union is trying negotiate a new wage scale that takes that into account but they are being unreasonable how much money they are expecting.
@@Novusod Sorry but 25 an hour to start in a ups warehouse is not unreasonable
@@johnlefebre7495 What a fair market wage is would depend on the region. Workers in New York are of course going to make more than workers in Kansas. So $25/hr is very reasonable in some areas and unreasonable in others.
UPS should just hire Amazon drivers to replace the union strikers. Im a shareholder and ill be damned if my share price has to suffer because of this nonsense 😡
Boohoo
Then I guess you'll be damned 🙄 You are naive if you think Amazon workers or any other scabs can do our job or would want to do our job. if it wasn't for us 340,000 Teamsters you wouldn't have any shares. Maybe don't put all your eggs in the UPS basket.
Hope your share price suffers a ton
That a very selfish comment sounds like something a crappy human being would say
If you don't want the stock price to suffer you better tell UPS to pay us what we are asking, otherwise bye bye stock price
I am a UPS employee, I am a part time employee that works my AS$ off 6 days a week for only 16 an hour. We are over worked and underpaid! When Covid hit and everyone was buying stuff online WE were the ones that helped and got your packages delivered! And WE got no raise, no bonus, not even a thanks! It’s our time America 🤎💛
