DON'T BEND AN INCH

Go Colts and Hoosiers! Now that I have that out, time to get serious. REAL SERIOUS! iI was one that was going to try to tell our leaders to give and take because of our hard times. Not after reading these words! The insistence on not listening to what matters to us will help us not bend either in our contract talks. Hold firm union leaders and brothers and sisters.

They are handing over big money we asked for so we took the deal and got wasted last night.

Y’all got a fu--ing pension? Maybe those of us in the south need to unionize. We go help them during strikes and y’all get pensions and big pay ups? That’s some sh-t. We need to unionize down here.

The art of the deal. Ask for way more and then get close to it and sign. 7 dollars an hour more is kick a-s. Where do I sign???

We bent but couldn’t t resist. It was a tiny bend and we got 7 bucks an hour more and a pension. Nothing to sneeze at.

Hold on now! If 135 is getting a pension, none of us 554 should sign the contract offer until we get ours too. That’s bullsh-t that we weren’t offered that in Omaha. Is it too late to go back to the talking and get our pension?

Our union says the USF Veep negotiator is a bad negotiator and always bends and gives in when we fight. I bought a snowmobile suit and snow boots and am ready to go. One of our managers says he just got a raise and promotion for doing the same fu--ing job he did before. USF must have money to hand out. Thanks for firing us up! Let’s fu--ing go!

The wife bought me some expensive walking shoes for my gift. They feel like walking on clouds. We all told our union rep if they don’t give us all we asked for and deserve at their next talks, we want to strike. He didnt want to do it on the holidays and we waited. We are ready to go now. Solidarity!

@3r8 Why don't you mind your business and leave us the fu-k alone. If you come out here to drive or work you will be stuck by our picket line all day long. So spare us the country rodeo rah rah bullsh-t.

If you strike they will call us from the southeast markets to temp replace y'all. Wait until after Xmas so we can eat and drink some long neck bottles with our families. If you go out, we will have to come out and work your jobs and we will be pi---d. You don't want to see a bunch of good ol' boys get pi---d. Y'all just hold y'alls horses.

They didn't offer enough. We may be spending the holidays on strike. There are some of us saying to keep talking until after the holidays and then strike but most of us want to hit them now cause we know it will hurt their a-s more to do it when our customers need it more and force them to give the fu-k up. GO FOR MORE 554! We can spend the next two weeks on the picket line. Our wifes are saying they will bring us special meals they will make and bring to all of us. Let's fu--ing go!

They are giving us more each time they talk to our reps. They aren't close but they will get there.

They are bending and bringing better offers so we may work with these men. They aren't even close to what we want so it still ain't pretty but they flinched so we will bend some but not much. We want our fu--ing money! Some of us from work went to the bar tonight to talk and are done drinking. I am going to sleep now and will wait to see what they talk about and what they decide tomorrow to learn if we are walking out tomorrow or not.

Our fight starts this week. Watch us force those fu----s to give us what we deserve or we will picket through the holidays. We don't give a fu-k cuz we will be home every night. Those d-mb fu--s will be here through the holidays missing everything. We are going to show our new VPO why our others always gave in. Pay us our price or pay the price. Simple really.

That is the right thing to do. You will make 40 percent more within 3 years.

Bring in the teamsters. You will be happy you did and your families deserve it. If you have a small union, they are just taking u in dues and you ain’t getting what you deserve. It does make a big difference.

We don’t have a big union. We have a small one here in Jackson but they don’t be fighting like y’all’s do. Is teamsters doing all of the other us foods places? Should we change? After reading all these messages, I think we needs better reps and I can talk to my Stuart’s here to start that. What do y’all think?

We are 554 in Omaha! Thank you for the help. We are talking now. Are our brothers and sisters in Indiana talking now too? We need to both fight. We always get what we want but the new boss man is being hard headed. We will walk if he doesn't give us everything. We will be stronger if Indiana's contract expires in December like ours. Lets fight together! Don't bend. They want to force their bad guy cop on us then we force our demands too. You didn't bend and we won't either. FU-K ALL OF YOU EXECUTIFS!

Be strong Teamsters 554! Your brothers inside USF are 100 percent behind you. Don't bend! When they see that you will strike and close to the holidays, they will give you everything. They don't want to lose money close to the holiday and they don't want to go to nebraska and help during a strike. Outside non-union employees won't want to work a strike during the holiday either so you hold all of the cards. Fight on because if they see you bend, you will never get what you want again.
