    Does he have kids? a mortgage? other liabilities? It's easy to talk shit, but when the money stops coming in reality sets in. I love people who think you strike and get what you want. having been on strike it's not that simple. An old Teamster once told me if you strike then what? In 97 when the money ran out the scabs started crossing. Are we as strong as those Teamsters? Not saying this company should not be challenged, but you better be commited to standing on a gate and not getting paid. Not sure talking the talk matches walking the walk.Thanks for your advice Greg. Oh BTW buckle up your chinstrap.

      O'Brien and his people screwed up with all the RaRa speeches about striking. Now you have thousands of UPS Teamsters who won't be satisfied unless there's a strike. Oh boy

          Same thing with Joan Elaine Miller in my local. Never a steward. Got involved on Facebook. Wasn't even going to vote no because she couldn't afford a strike.

                Brother Kerwood is going to be very disappointed. Non economics are off the table the likelihood of a strike over money diminishes as well. Things will happen fast, the PR in full gear.

                  What happens when Sean O'brien delivers a contract that is the best ever and sells it that way? Does Kerwood support his man and sell it? Man, he really put himself in a pickle. Good luck. Either way he comes out a fool.

                    Greg Kerwood is right. Part time and those who want to organize Amazon now understand its the only way to get to $25 start rate. Thats what we need to organize Amazon.

                    Could do this if you want

                    But it is a lot of code to write this and the user has to be an admin!
