We Need To Change The Definition Of Historic

[UPS909Strong]

UPS historic contract, Anheuser Busch historic contract etc. The only thing that is historic is how members are being sold out. With inflation through the roof, some Union members are having a difficult time making ends meet. This is happening while corporations continue to generate billions for their shareholders and millions for their CEOs. Have the heads of Locals seen what it takes to buy a house or even rent an apartment? One only needs to look at Facebook comments to see members speaking out about these shitty deals. It's true that the only way someone is going to be paid what they are worth is if they start a small business. But I'm tired of these "elected officials" throwing around the word historic when the only thing historic is that a Union member now needs two Union jobs to put food on the table.

Right on. We don't need a new definition just stop using it for contracts that are anything but historic. When did the Teamsters buy so much PR to "sell" a contract, just tell the truth and present the facts.members will decide without being "sold".

That 20 cent per year in pension raises is a joke.
