And all those workers and their families whoāve suffered death, heat stroke, dehydration, and severe illness wonāt soon forget about UPSās negligence.
Itās long past time this corporation pulling in revenue in excess of $100 billion did something about it.

Corporate PR campaigns like āCool Solutionsā and āReChargeā arenāt going to cut it. #Teamsters need real solutions, not excuses and distractions.

OāBRIEN TO UPS: YOU SUCCEED BECAUSE OF PEOPLE ā DONāT FORGET THAT
After a 13-hour day ā at the bargaining table & in subcommittee meetings ā the @UPS #Teamsters National Negotiating Committee ended Tues. with a sharper focus on forcing UPS to make more progress on key proposals.

#Teamsters spent hours throughout the day pushing back on UPS's attempts to maintain the status quo or weaken worker protections in its Surepost program. Article 26 of the Nat'l Master Agreement outlines UPSās eligibility to ship smaller packages of specific weight/size via USPS.
Several rounds of #Teamster proposals were exchanged to push UPS to put more boxes back on union package cars and commit to regular testing of the very technology the company uses to redirect volume.
#Teamsters are calling on shareholders of Chipotle $CMG to support Item Six, a proposal that calls for the adoption of a non-interference policy in worker organizing efforts to prevent union busting at the company: teamster.org/2023/05/teamstā¦ #1u
Chipotle staff in Lansing, MI who joined #Teamsters Local 243 became the first workers to form a union at the fast casual chain last year.
"Let me put the record straight: while the company stopped short of breaking the law by firing workers ā like an NLRB Administrative Law Judge found in Maine ā Chipotle sent in union busters (euphemistically called āunion avoidance consultantsā) and held mandatory meetings..."

#Teamsters General President Sean M. OāBrien reminded management that attempted implementation of any advanced technology that may harm workers or eliminates jobs will be combatted aggressively by the union.
UPS TEAMSTERS ARE WORTH MORE
And our unionās National Negotiating Committee knows it. Committee leaders, like #Teamsters Gen. President Sean M. OāBrien & Gen. Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman, & Teamster rank-and-filers reconvened nat'l negotiations with @UPS executives today.

During late morning and early afternoon bargaining, as both sides discussed technology, package volumes, and new Teamster jobs, committee members remained vocal that the #Teamsters are unified in this fight.
UPSers are coordinating and sharing information, and the negotiating team stands behind its proposals to improve the way of life for the companyās workforce.
"Yes, we need to preserve and improve our strong benefits, and we want to see wages go up for all," OāBrien said.

The first time I remember hearing the word ācontentā was around 2005, in reference to material one would put in a website to increase traffic. Your dry cleaner, for example, would get a website and supply āassetsā (logo, location photo, etc), 1/
But they then realized they needed something on there to get people to come back and keep them there. That stuff was ācontent.ā A video, a poem, a blog post, it didnāt matter. Now why your dry cleaner needed to keep people on a website is a mystery, but they wanted it. 2/
And so, it would follow that another company, though more closely related to our business than a dry cleaners, would also want ācontentā for their site to get people to come back and to hold their attention. And those companies are streamers. 3/

Now, I realise it sounds bonkers to link TV shows about the Italian Mafia and how they infiltrate local councils and municipalities - I mean, that wouldn't happen in Lancashire or Merseyside... would it!?
