teamster

The difference is that the human is a minimum wage drone instead of a unionized teamster, so the savings could be quite substantial.

For example, the cost of teamster's deaths during delivery has been factored into the cost of products for hundred(s?) of years.

Standard truck-driver meme: how can you tell a teamster from and owner-operator?

I have a Teamster friend here in LA, and according to him practically nothing is being filmed in this area.

I'd post my rant about teamsters here, but I'm afraid I'm not a teamster so I'm not allowed to do that.

Horseless carriages are noisy and dangerous, says teamster's union.

And because the supply of Uber drivers is greater than the supply of taxicabs, this lowers prices for customers, creating wealth and a fair amount of Teamster opposition.

The Teamsters Union claims Yellow owes the pension fund ~ $6.5 billion (which works out to about $300k for each Teamster who worked at Yellow when it shut down).

I imagine the teamster's don't like the idea.

The current lag timed reporting requirement is a decent start, but fact of the matter is that it still allows Reps to take advantage of insider knowledge to profit and thereby basically be bribed in circuitous ways not really all that different than a mobster/teamster accidentally leaving behind a suitcase of cash after they dinner party the politician invited him to, just even more obfuscated and structured.

Not just that, but the "offload person" won't be a member of the teamster's union (seeing as how they aren't actually driving the truck) and will have a more reasonable wage.

As an interesting side-note, FedEx was buying adds a while ago complaining about the "Brown Bailout." Apparently there was some to-do about how UPS's pilots were part of the teamster's union (or its drivers were part of the pilot's union--I don't remember--in any case, FedEx didn't like it).

I recall going to a townhall vote on some legislation a company I was employed with at the time wanted vs what the Teamster Union wanted and both sides doing body double line rigging to get their viewpoint in during "open comments" but I couldn't find a single news article about the obvious tactic by both sides.

The likelihood of the Teamster's union allowing (i.e., not obstructing) driverless cargo hauling to succeed in the US would be close to zero.

Teamster connects you with people who play your sport in your area & makes it easy to see and join your friends' sport activities.

> Individual union organisers might also be social activists, but effective union organisers know that they need to a appeal to all employees regardless of their politics One need only look at labor's reaction to the Teamster's president's speech at the RNC to realize that this is clearly not the case.
