I know you know how to do this.
Get up.


maybe? UPS came back pretty quick last week after that first proposal leaked.

maybe UPS isn't getting the responses they want from the Biden adminstration

Capital: A city designated as a legislative seat by the government or some other authority, often the city in which the government is located; otherwise the most important city within a country or a subdivision of it.



UPS needs to drag things out until the holiday season to get the same response the railroads did, and I don't think the union is going to give them that.

Has anyone had any success in communicating on a lane of "union response to CEO blog post on the company confluence instance?" angle?

Our 14th CEO in 18 months (lol) has decided to post weekly blogs of his musings and thoughts on the company and there's a lot of excess energy in the union slack after they get published but lots of us are concerned that not being able to provide private feedback on those insane screeds about how we just need to be okay with taking risks with the privacy of customer data would paint individual members as targets/squeaky wheels. We have as part of our CBA our own space for the locals in said Confluence instance so I feel like being able to provide mostly-anonymous official responses to the CEO blog post would be a good way of using that space

interesting developments at ALU

https://www.labornotes.org/2023/07/reform-caucus-rises-sues-elections-amazon-labor-union

pretty sad that with the amount of moment they had after that victory and the hope developing after their first win, ALU is at the point where they couldn't get 10 workers to show up to a membership meeting and just stopped holding them. Wonder wtf is happening with that exec board and why they're operating like this.

"That effort was capped off by a failed attempt at mediation by veteran labor educator and organizer Bill Fletcher. The ALU board had agreed to mediation and even suggested Fletcher as a mediator—then reversed course and rejected mediation before it could begin."

i've seen fletchers name pop up here and there, mostly through a union organizer that i personally detested. is fletcher For Real or is he a dinosaur/snake oil/hanger on?

I met this guy at a convention. His election seemed impossible in a three-person race until very recently where one of the candidates was outed as a screaming workplace abuser and the other candidate was covering it up. So Claude won via process of elimination

Seems like a nice enough guy, but very much an Old School AT&T, union as a service, kinda dude

O_o he is the president of the ALU which was a pretty historic thing, why would it be unshocking that he got coverage?

anyways unions arent about 1 person, theyre about the workers. one of the downsides of starting your own union is that you have to figure this stuff out. hope the alu do

Maybe if we were allowed to communicate as a union and explain why we function as we do we would have a more positive perception?
