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

It's amazing to see all these companies with workers who are just DONE with being taken advantage of in late stage capitalism

Having been on strike last year, I hope that negotiations go through soon too!

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
Lynx and Paint
and good; production is essential to animation happening and is very often overworked and ignored!

I grew up with two CWA workers in the house, so strikes and union thursdays were a part of growing up. It sucks for everyone but... gotta do it

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.
Ptriciadactyl
(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.)
Jay
yeah, it looks like a good deal. Fingers crossed it goes thru fast
ShaynaIsHere
Ptriciadactyl : I thought specifically of you and your brother when I saw that one; hoping it works out!
Ptriciadactyl
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.
Ptriciadactyl
He's a young engineer, he has zero control over what the company leadership does, so he's just in a holding pattern right now.
