so. an update on the ups strike.

screenshot from a cnn article, the headline reads "UPS and Teamsters reach a labor deal, potentially avoiding a crippling strike" Below the headline is an image of a crowd of UPS workers. Some are holding signs that say "UPS TEAMSTERS: JUST PRACTICING FOR A JUST CONTRACT" The article describes this image as "Teamsters employed by UPS hold a rally outside a UPS facility as an August 1st strike deadline against the company nears in Los Angeles, California, U.S. July 19, 2023"
A screenshot of the first tweet in a thread from user @LuigiWMorris: "My first thought after seeing *only* the highlights of the UPS/Teamsters tentative agreement is that despite some important gains, it doesn't meet many part-timers’ expectations. We can definitely fight for more. Here are some of the areas where I think it falls short:👇" The thread begins below, the next tweet says "For part-timers this was a historic opportunity to fight for $25/h minimum as starting wage. We were called essential during the pandemic and we generated record profits. We deserve more. We are still national news and there is momentum to fight for more."
Continued thread from @LuigiWMorris: "For part-timers this was a historic opportunity to fight for $25/h minimum as starting wage. We were called essential during the pandemic and we generated record profits. We deserve more. We are still national news and there is momentum to fight for more." "Going from $15.50 to $21/h as a starting wage is an important jump, but as part timers we were very behind on our wages after decades of sellouts. $21 doesn’t catch up with what should be the bare minimum of inflation-adjusted wages." "Part-time workers with seniority are especially frustrated. For them, under the TA, someone who has been working for 11 years and is already making $20.80 will only get bumped to $23.55. Little over $21 and way below inflation."
Continued thread from @LuigiWMorris: "Depending on seniority, part-timers will be paid up to $1.50 an hour extra. Divided probably in $0.50 for each 5 years or something along those lines. This is very far from what part-timers with more seniority expected, and nowhere near what they deserve." "This TA maintains the “two-tier system” between part-time workers and drivers. A top-rate driver will make $49/h by the end of the contract while new part-timers will make around $23: less than half. Under the contract, inside workers would still have second-class status." "We can't even say that our working conditions will be any better. Based just on the highlights, there is no news of AC in the warehouses, nor any mention of making our 10-min breaks longer. Looks like we are still going to be guaranteed only 3.5 hours of work per day."
The final tweets in the thread by @LuigiWMorris: "There was no hazard pay during the pandemic. Despite exposing ourselves, risking our families’ lives, keeping society running, and generating record profits for the company, the TA doesn’t even include an “essential workers” bonus." "We move over 20M packages per day, 6% of the U.S. GDP, and 2% of the world economy. We make society run. A credible threat secured all these concessions. But we have the power to strike and force UPS to give part-timers much more than what this TA offers." "Part-time workers are the majority of the union, yet we’re treated like second class union members. We want real equality." "Next week we will be able to see the fine print of the TA and we will have a more accurate sense of what the situation is. This is just a first approach with information that is available by now."

the union members have yet to vote on the *tentative agreement* remember the propaganda we've all been talking abt?? anything you see about this deal from capitalist press cheerleading the TA between now and the union voting on it is just that. propaganda. dont get it twisted.

I feel like there is not enough sibling bickering over Mario and Luigi

Mario: Yeah well, at least I’m not a monster fucker!

Luigi: What’s that? I can’t hear you from all the way up here!

OR

Luigi, upon seeing Mario about to do a stupid thing: Mario, you can’t do this.

Mario: Who are you, Dad?

Luigi:

Luigi: Okay that was funny

OR

Mario: Listen all I’m saying is you have other options then Bowser

Luigi: Just because you’re still not at the holding hands stage with Peach, doesn’t mean you have to take it out on me

OR

Luigi: I can do it

Mario: Luigi, you can’t even have a conversation with the cashier without getting a panic attack.

-18, any pronouns are cool- Honestly this just turned into a g/t account, I don't know how it happened. I like posting my art and I'll probably reblog stuff about Labor Unions/Workers rights every now and then, don't be afraid to interact or make art requests! I might not get to them very quickly, but I'm down to give em a shot. Glad to share my 3am monthly-hyperfixation-related drawings with y'all
