can we talk about the ups strike can we PLEASE talk about the ups strike
i know since writers and actors are already striking thats gonna take up most of the news space on social media but like. ups has until july 31st to meet the teamster’s demands and if not then theyre going on the biggest strike against a single corporation since the early 1900s. the uaw (auto manufacturers union) contract is up this fall, and i believe the alu (amazon labor union) is as well. there’s a huge possibility that they might strike as well, depending on how long the ups strike lasts.
im seeing a lot of talk about hollywood going down but i want to see more talk about labor rights and working class solidarity across the board… like A Lot of shit is about to go down
we’re about to see a lot more propaganda by more than just hollywood, we’re about to see a lot of bullshit political moves on local, state, and federal levels. dont fall for it. workers have power.
UPS drivers have an incredibly arduous and dangerous job. The amount of risk involved in driving a vehicle where you can’t see out your rearview window and is full of packages for thieves is mind boggling. That’s not even talking about the effort in carrying packages to doors all day with very little respect.
UPS drivers deserve at least $40/hr, full benefits, and air conditioning and water breaks.
Yeah, sorry. I could give a damn about Hollywood; this is what really matters. Ups affects businesses of all kinds and makes modern life as we know it, accessable.
