Today, the Teamsters reached the most historic tentative agreement for workers in the history of UPS, protecting and rewarding more than 340,000 UPS Teamsters nationwide. The overwhelmingly lucrative contract raises wages for all workers, creates more full-time jobs, and includes dozens of workplace protections and improvements. The UPS Teamsters National Negotiating Committee unanimously endorsed the five-year tentative agreement.
But what will those poor CEOs do now? They’ll have to downgrade to slightly smaller yachts. How on earth with they survive?
/s (just in case)
Oh don’t worry. They’ll just raise prices and blame it on the rising cost of labor.
Yup…. And this is the fuckin problem… happens in healthcare too… as someone in the inside of a major healthcare org I see the writing on the wall. Supposedly “non-profit” but we’re being told that because we don’t have constant growth at high enough levels every year that we all need to accept minimal raises and no bonuses… but the cost of care is increasing and the CEO is still making more money than I’ll ever see in my lifetime…
I also work for for healthcare “non-profit” like this. You’re not in the upper midwest by chance?
Nah. West Coast.
But sad to know (although not surprising) that this is a country wide issue…
