my brother's a UPS engineer, and while I definitely support the strikers, I do wish UPS would... hurry up and negotiate, because my brother's on travel blackout due to the strike and is gonna miss a family trip to Hawaii next month
the one thing bugging me in that post train is that it's not animators that have petitioned to unionize (that union already exists, it's TAG) but the production teams have
I'm very excited that the UPS tentative agreement looks like an actual victory for workers as opposed to a pittance flung their way to try and avoid a strike.
(and also, if it gets ratified in time, my brother can come on vacation with me instead of sitting in UPS headquarters waiting for higher ups to negotiate with the workers.)
fingers crossed!!! I texted my brother this morning, and he's not buying tickets until it's actually officially ratified, because his WFH or vacation requests are all denied at this point, they're still in a time off blackout.
