I see people waking up to the importance of collective bargaining. How about you?
The UPS employees who were fired walked out on their jobs on Feb. 26 to protest the dismissal of one of their coworkers, Jairo Reyes.
Wonder what Mr. Reyes did to get canned?
More info in the articles quoted below -
"UPS said it dismissed Reyes on Feb. 14 because he repeatedly clocked in earlier than his shift was set to start, which resulted in his being paid overtime for hours that he allegedly didn't work."

"As part of the agreement, the workers will receive a 10-day, unpaid suspension. The union also will pay UPS for damages from the lost productive time.
"The company received acceptable terms and acknowledgement that the walkout was non-contractual," wrote UPS spokesperson Steve Gaut in an email to The Huffington Post. "

Hooray for Unions!
They saved the job of a cheater that was trying to defraud his company.
Then they saved the jobs of a bunch of lazy workers who used this guy getting fired as an excuse not to show up to work.
Thank God for Unions!
yes thanks.
