    UPS Strike

    So you’re under the assumption that the company just can’t afford to pay these crybabies that aren’t worth it any more money that what they already are? The company was not hurt in both my personal examples, they just had to cut out a bigger piece of pie for their employees. Why would you not...

    UPS Strike

    So what’s wrong with staying where you’re at and negotiating as a whole for it?

    UPS Strike

    What’s your point? That there’s greed at the upper level everywhere? I wouldn’t argue against that.

    UPS Strike

    I totally understand being upset with their blind allegiance to the Democratic Party. There were big articles in the IBEW news letter about how they were in favor of vaccine mandates. That created an uproar with a lot of members and if I remember right there was talk of all members who were...

    UPS Strike

    I don’t understand you non-union guys reasoning. So you’re ok with people leaving the company to find better working conditions, but you’re not ok with the workers staying with the company, speaking in a collective voice, and negotiating with the company? I left a non union electric...

    UPS Strike

    Are we all going to band together and help her like we did with that kids binoculars? I hate to see her in a bind like that.

    UPS Strike

    I wonder how many people that talk bad about the union have ever been a member of one? I’ve been on both sides and being a non union lineman for 5yrs and an IBEW union lineman for the last 15yrs has led me to a quality of life I would have never known before the switch.

    UPS Strike

    Damn, I didn’t know UPS was in the nuclear reactor business? They keep those in the office too? Right next to that data center probably. Nice and cool in there.

    UPS Strike

    Oh you’re right, I know very little about how computer systems run. But the few desktop computers I’ve seen (the ones the peckers use) all have their own fan built in to them. To keep them from overheating I assume? Do they still have their own fan or are the new computers totally reliant on...

    UPS Strike

    Then there’s no good reason any of the UPS offices should have air conditioning. No reason for anybody that’s only pecking a keyboard to have air conditioning. Imagine the savings on the electric bill with no AC. No maintenance bill either. Great point you make there.

    UPS Strike

    I hope they walk on em. I’ve never been part of a strike but I’ve been among a group of guys that left a company to go to another with better pay and working conditions. Each time the company we left that said they couldn’t afford to give us a raise mysteriously found the money to pay the guys...

    Will Kenetrek Mountain Extremes be too much boot?

    I bought a pair with 400g of insulation for August/September in Alaska. Last year I wore them Oct-Jan deer hunting in Oklahoma and loved them. Definitely not too much boot for flat ground. Awesome boot in my opinion.

    Lack of Tent Oxygen - Can't Sleep

    I’ve wondered about this when I sleep in my camper shell in the back of my truck that’s sealed up fairly well but never had any trouble falling asleep. I do sleep with a cpap that’s forcing air, but it’s not creating any more of it.
