Seriously though, you're a new dad. I'm not really sure where I'm gonna be guiding my kids. I guess it's a long way off but I have a feeling AI and robots are going to completely change the landscape of human careers in the future.
Fuck the Teamsters Union. Their General President using the phrase, "These greedy executives" in any context is epic irony. That being said, fuck Amazon and their shady business plan. They should negotiate and operate in good faith, whether their employees are union or not.
I’m a Teamster. Provides me with great pay, amazing pension and free health care that is some of the best out there. I understand there’s a lot of haters. People hate what they don’t got. It’s human nature. I don’t care if people hate on Teamsters. But to side with the greedy corporations is kind of a bizarre approach for the average peon (talking in general not you in specific) Money distribution is a real problem in this country. The rich just want more. Unions are the only hope at leveling the playing field because the politicians are in the pocket of greedy corporations.
Somebody gotta take care of my old ass when I can't work anymore... I still have hope that we can right this thing. But things weren't as bad back when my kids were born. If not we'll just have to pull ourselves up by our bootstrap's and be billionaires.
Fucking bastards. Daily reminder that cop unions aren’t real unions, they’re just protection rackets.
We have a union here in town for TELEVISION. I’m all for workers getting compensated, but when the violence and intimidation kick in…..that ain’t for me.
Yeah my brother, mom and brother in law are all Kaiser employees. I think like 95% of Kaiser is union now
My dad and my grandfather were both life-long Teamsters. I'm generally pro-Union. My problem isn't with the rank and file, it's with the leadership. And if you don't think the Teamsters have politicians in their pocket, I don't know what to tell you.
This is how I feel as well. The idea of unions is great. But Union leadership just sells out to the highest bidder. I watched it happen to the teamsters at Reddaway, which was bought by Yellow, after Yellow purchased Roadway. They aren't even getting money put in there retirement anymore. Though they do have access to a 401k that they can choose to put money in if they want to...
It’s all political. Thousands of Teamsters benefit from their allegiance to these politicians. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. A lot of times these companies go belly up because the CEO is raking in absurd amounts of money and they only care about the bottom line to the shareholders. The whole thing with Yellow was shady all around and is not at fault of the Teamsters if you read deep into it. That CEO was a sleezeball. The workers of Yellow gave givebacks contract after contract while Darren Hawkins the CEO’s pay ballooned to crazy amounts every year.
