#Teamsters #UPS #Union
Good news.
Nice!!
Ac in trucks should
Of been the first
Idea
We still have trucks from the 90s it will take 25 years before they get AC in all trucks lol
The requirements for the ac only start on trucks bought after the start of 2024. This isn’t the huge win the union is trying to make it out to be, ups was already paying the $21 hourly for new hires at their largest hub.
the only way to get paid more is to not work, got it! 😆 shows you how much companies rip off their employees, they got the money, they just want to see how much they can exploit their workers before they strike, lol.
And an excuse to raise shipping costs across the board for all shipping services by all of them. But hey, some union reps got a big pay raise and lots of extras.
If you don’t like the shipping cost, choose another carrier then. Free market right?
Awwwwww, too bad. Fedex has no union. Why are their rates the same as ups? Ups and fed ex raises rates every year. Ups maes billions in profits every , so why do they raise rates every year? So shareholders and ceos get rich. I could care less about your rates. Become a giant corporation. Amazon gets the biggest discount for using ups. You don’t care about that tho. Only when the little guy gets a raise. Fyi. Amazon already pays zero taxes, you wouldn’t care about that either
Oh but of course they did. Now isn’t that wonderful news? It wouldn’t be nice of the CEO not share the $100 billions of profits with us that worked for that now would it?
@Pack Trail 14 an hour is pretty good money for parttime no IQ needed work child.b
@Ipeno no don’t you see billionaires worked really super duper hard for that money… it’s THEIR money right?? (That they earned off the crippling labor of other humans, but its still THEIR money right?)
Hey Amazon employees are you guys paying attention!!!
My union just locked me and my fellow UPS drivers in on an almost 50 dollars an hour contract
@Foreverfreeusa good pay still though
@Sam Serranoclose to $52 for feeder
@Foreverfreeusa see by 2028 that wage will be not so great again..
@Foreverfreeusawell it hasn’t passed yet, they still gotta vote on it.
@Andre Correa I’ve worked at UPS as a part-timer for 6 years, I’m thinking of becoming a driver but it’s kind of a big step.
Our economy needs to turn around faster, the place I work is about to have a huge layoff. It’s getting scary.
Apply on USA jobs get a federal job they’re always guaranteed and they never lay off employees
U can thank biden for that
@Troy Cno, it was Trump who deregulated the market. This is capitalism at work.
Don jon wrecked the economy. 😊
I try to offer my ups man a Ice cold water every chance I get if I have them
Good for you cause the give employees faucet water
Well that is awesome news! Let’s just hope consumers don’t end up paying for all the vitally needed changes.
Smh
Who do you expect to pay? You will pay for the ups taise.😊😊😮
Blame the Biden administration. Do you know how much gas and electricity ups uses?. Well all that doubled the past 3 years. Which has raised rates way more than wages ever will. Top ceo carol Tome makes 27 million a year. But you don’t care about that. Just the little guy getting a raise. Smh again
Of course you will pay, UPS won’t
I can see this they lay people off u writing see
I hope they got air conditioning in their trucks.
Edit: never mind…the reporter mentioned it.
✊🏾
here comes higher prices to ship via UPS..
think will stick to USPS instead.
Funny you say that USPS just raised their prices not too long ago.
Nobody cares
Which I never heard of that word anywhere Teamsters.
AMAZING NEWS!! Congratulations to the teamsters! I admire the hardwork of delivery drivers and sympathize with the grueling work they are tasked with.
TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER THAN EVIL CORPORATE GREED! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!✊️✊️✊️
Amazing news???? Who do you think is going to have to pay for those raises?🤦♂️ never ordering anything that’ll be transported by ups again. Phuckem😤
Next we should unionize amazon and FedEx
Oh yeah 0 subcribers you have shut up
Good going, Teamsters!
$21 an hour?! I was paid $10 an hour when I last worked for them. They love to shorten our hours and work us to death so I guess the pay increase could help but if the workplace isn’t any better and your only putting in a few hours per day then find somewhere else to work!
Tbh 21 an hour does not mean much when workers only get guaranteed 3 and a half
@BoznsjBruhStudiosit’s a side hustle.. not a full time job.. you get the full time pay when you go driving. That’s the carrot
#TeleviseTheTrumpTrials he’s been robbing the American people for years!
Trump 24
@Mike MadDogMcGann YES! For prison!
@Davon keep living in bidenomics and the slave ownership of the US government. Trump is thee only logical hope for the working class of America. Or….. ROBERT F KENNEDY. Those 2 are the front runners for president
Union cant reach an agreement without a vote
Are drivers now obligated to close their doors when driving or are they just gonna continue to keep them open and waste their new air conditioning?
I would assume drivers would be smart enough to keep the doors closed. All that does is heat up the cabin with all the stops they do
Doors open rain/shine hot/cold. I’m in the business of getting my route done
AC deal is useless when we are in and out constantly, such a waste of money. I’d rather they use that money to pay more for our part timers or put more into our pension
@aikalo80 it has to at least help in places like Phoenix where it’s 120 degrees
Methinks that UPS management finally saw the light after feeling the heat; and made a sound business decision not to blow up their company. The leaders of IBT UPS workers can take their victory lap, winning a historic contract by effectively mobilizing their rank and file from border to border and coast to coast. Stay tuned, readers, as the IBT takes on Amazon and FedEx.
Yay🎉
This reminds me of the UAW in the 1970s. The Japanese came in and ate their lunch, and later came the Koreans with Hyundai, Kia, Daewoo, etc.
UPS drivers were already paid well, now it is just ridiculous. $45/hour to deliver boxes? This also comes at a precarious time when firms are experimenting with autonomous trucks and delivery drones.
I want folks to earn a living and I know they work their tails off, but companies that have these big muscle unions can’t pivot when new technologies come along.
That’s great news! Only 5 years? Hopefully it will go through smoothly and we are not going to hit a supply chains issues
What about the pension and healthcare? If they mess with either of those, it will be voted down QUICK!
To bad I wanted to see the economy crumble.
Awesome news for UPS workers – they deserve it. Thanks for all of your hard work throughout the pandemic and moving forward!
sure they get a raise but now the Union will raise union dues so the Union President gets his million dollar bonus.
You can work at ups without joining the union and still receive the pay and benefits
7 billion dollars they saved in 10 days y’all are weak for accepting this.
Strikes not avoided till its voted through. Part timers were promised $25 or strike. IBT promised Strike TShirts if we signed up for the app. We were promised no forced 6th day. Only drivers get the 6th day protection. Neither of the other 2 promises came true. Collusion at its finest.
Unions are effective, and that’s why Republicans try to pass laws against them.
If they were effect then more businesses would unionize. Businesses like UPS and other transit/delivery services are vital. That’s why they’ve been so successful. But buying a cup of coffee at Starbucks or watch new episodes on streaming isn’t vital. That’s why those strikes aren’t successful.
@Aaron Morrismany Starbucks locations successfully unionized
I’ll donate my first check on the new contract so the chick on the right can fix her hair
Agreed or forced
This deal is trash! Vote no!
Finally air conditioning in the UPS trucks 🎉🎉
$40+ an hour to deliver boxes and they STILL whine.
Stop hating and support
The most insane thing is that they are all FORCED to work there. I don’t understand how a company can get by with that.
They’ll get a pay increase, UPS will raise prices, demand will decrease, layoffs will follow. You can bet which workers will get laid off first.
Amazon take on ups.😊
Ugh, was really hoping to get some cheap stocks from all this.
Bring on more Amazon shipments and drones.
