UPS Fires 250 Employees for Staging a Strike

Source: Slate

UPS is firing 250 Queens, N.Y., drivers for walking off the job during a 90-minute protest in February.

The company dismissed 20 of the workers after their shifts Monday and issued notices of termination to another 230 employees, notifying them that they will be fired once the company has trained their replacements, UPS spokesman Steve Gaut told Business Insider.

The workers were protesting the dismissal of longtime employee and union activist Jairo Reyes, who was fired over an hours dispute, according to Gaut. The New York Daily News first reported on the firings.

...............

UPS fired back that it might need to terminate additional employees if the city alters its contract. “UPS appreciates its business with the New York public offices,” Gaut said. “Ultimately if that business is reduced or eliminated, the result will be reduced need for UPS employees to serve the pick-up and delivery requirements of City offices, potentially impacting the livelihoods of the many local UPS employees that did not join in the illegal work stoppage.”

Nationalize UPS????????????? Yeah, that will work.

Uh, actually it is going to be a bad idea, like we are seeing with health care. Other nations that nationalized industries ended up being disasters. DUmmies always say nationalize things or expand the government.  :mental:

Can you just imagine how much that would cost?  

Can you say USPS?

Yes because every other government run program is a shinning star of efficiency and production.  Amtrak, USPS, NASA, SS, ACA, Medicaid...

Nationalize: The DUmmie answer to everything.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

I have uninstalled Waterfox (64-bit Firefox), and I am now using Opera.

Opera may too, be built by fascists, but they're NORWEGIAN fascists.
Help keep America beautiful...deface a liberal.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.

Yes.  I can see the 404 website, now.

              

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.
