Is it really going to be nationwide? I've heard a lot crap from Smalls over the years

[WTF891]

Amazon just donated 1 million to Trumps innaguration. Are they buying political favor?

[BBeatle]

Smalls had his shot. The article mentions a hint from SOB, anyone see it?

[Nickjamesups]

More Berlin Rosen docudrama , sounds like when Hoffa pulled Overnight out on strike when we only had a third of the facilities unionized! Anyone remember how that turned out?

[Knucklehead]

Yeah, some of us do. We ultimately forced the company and its parent Union Pacific to sell to UPS. They became Teamsters and still are, now known as T Force. Even a slow drop of water can wear a hole in the hardest rock. Too bad the OZfest didn't care about the 450 Teamster XPOers they inherited. All the new Agonizing Dept can claim are local union victories they hear about after the fact!

Teamsters on X Amazon Teamsters from facilities all across the country are uniting to win their first Teamsters contract at th.jpg
Something everyone can get behind.

Chris Smalls speaking for the union, somebody needs to reign this dude in. His BS just about broke the original ALU.

He's right about this one. All Locals being told they must participate.

[Gimme_Danger]

As they should all participate. Amazon needs to be organized. Should've been done 15 years ago.

[The Direct Line]

I wonder if the locals are going to pull their respective rank-and-filers to be at those picket lines. I am hearing it might be a 2-3 day picket lines.

[Barry455]

The idea is to get pickets on as many locations as possible Locals should be receiving materials. They'll be getting everyone involved 2days at the end of the week.

We heard the initial news at our general meeting this weekend. Sounds like a 48-hour, round the clock action Thursday and Friday at various (maybe all) Amazon facilities in the area.

This was all suppose to be confidential until after the Sunday call. Smalls just had to grab the spotlight with a press announcement. Loose cannon.

[Faust]

O'Brien opened his mouth that he would strike if Amazon didn't go to the table on Sunday the 15th.

He said the same to UPS.
