A threatened U.S. strike at United Parcel Service could be “one of the costliest in at least a century,” topping $7 billion for a 10-day work stoppage, a think tank specializing in the economic impact of labor actions said on Thursday.
Good.
Maybe this will even inspire other employees to organize when they see what collective action can do.
or acquiesce to Teamster demands that could worsen the company’s labor cost disadvantage versus nonunion rivals in an inflationary environment.
If the Teamsters negotiate a good deal, I feel like it’d create more pressure for other shippers to unionize… Also, this corpo-speak is atrocious.
So as far as I’m concerned, take UPS to the cleaners and pave the way for everyone else.
Yup. It’s good to see all the collective action going on this year. Keep up the fight!
I predict the government intervenes to save ~the economy~
I for one am cheering them on! May they get everything they want and more. Screw the greedy company.
I can’t shake the feeling that the fed won’t let this actually happen.
Bring it on
Good. I hope they ignore the company for 10 days just to twist the knife.
That’s the point.
That is going to be annoying af. Good. If a strike can cripple business and disrupt international trade then maybe those employees should be payed proportional to the profit they generate.
