UPS’s tentative labor deal with the Teamsters hasn’t even taken effect yet. But it has already taken a bite out of its earnings and revenue, as both fell in the second quarter ahead of the deal being reached.
Fuck it! I don’t give a shit. Let its profit fall. Its already making a shit ton of money per year. How about forcing the CEO to take a goddamned pay cut!
If treating your employees correctly causes you to lose money, then your profits weren’t real and you were just playing Jenga with your company’s assets to line your own pockets.
If you’re company isn’t profitable enough that it has to underpay its workers to profit then your company should fail. UPS is huge. Theres no way they cant afford it.
Pay your workers a decent wage you philistine.
How much do you think they’re paying them? I worked for UPS like 10 years ago and even then they were paying very high wages. “Decent” wage is a subjective term. These unions will keep coming after the company year after year to increase wages until they drive them out of business, which isn’t good for anyone.
Ah yeah because anyone in favor of sensible resolutions is a “bootlicker”. What a great conversation. Goodbye.
I heard with the new deal they will be paid $170k including benefits. That’s a lot of money.
Mechanics make very good money with ups because of the union. This specific negotiation was for part time workers and drivers, negotiating higher base pay for all part timers and drivers, AC in drivers trucks, and better benefits.
The contract for mechanics and pilots will largely remain the same because again, these are some of the more lucrative jobs at ups.
The union ceases to exist without the companies that have unionized. What you are saying is antithetical to the idea and nature of a union.
The CEO of ups made $19 million last year. I think they can afford to pay her less and their actual workers more.
What you are saying is antithetical to the idea and nature of a union.
Yes that’s correct.
The CEO of ups made $19 million last year.
That’s because THEY’RE THE CEO. Skilled workers make more money than unskilled workers because they provide more value. That’s not wrong.
