Stop blaming g the Red Head and Mr. Magoo. Automation is taking over.

[AlJackson1962!]

Yard Dog: So your advice is to surrender to automation, Trump, and O'Brien; they are inevitable?
Oh yeah, you don't clarify your words here, I forgot.

[Yard Dog]

How are you going to stop automation Jackson ?

[AlJackson1962!]

Yard Dog: Automation's impact on the UPS bargaining unit is a mandatory bargaining subject (upon request by the Union). Longshoremen on the East Coast bargained years ago on automation (containerized freight) that preserved wages and benefits even after workers had no work to perform. Among the greatest historical battles fought have been over working conditions.

[OT+]

Other unions have made progress, we need to figure it out.

[The Direct Line]

UPS better put their helmets on. Time for another practice picket led by our great fearless practice picket general president.

Sad thing is they expect we'll buy this bullshit every time they trot it out, and we probably will.

[Thisischange?]

PR wins all battles.

Stop blaming g the Red Head and Mr. Magoo. Automation is taking over.

Hey Yard Dog, we blame O'Brien because negotiated the contract! Haven't you heard? He stopped AI and the robots.

[The Direct Line]

He said that in Sacramento.

[Bob Randall]

OOOOOOOOPS! Busted!

[Yard Dog]

Why did you ratify it then.

[Watcher745]

There was such a campaign calling it Historic and there was no criticism or even a critique from any officer or organization such as labor notes or even TDU. Unfortunately it has proven not to be as historic as advertised.
