Over 144,000 workers are set to strike on September 14 if negotiations with their employers, the car manufacturers General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford, fail. The union has already employed the tactic of practice pickets at auto plants in Detroit, Michigan and Louisville, Kentucky
I think you are right. The poster is suggesting the Teamsters also should have gone on strike. Which… wow, okay.
I was confused, thinking the Teamsters also had a union in thrbauto industry and were playing scabs to the UAW, which would be shocking drama.
Think hes referring to the UPS contract, which the teamsters negotiated very well for their members.
It was so good UPS was complaining about how much long term employees would make and how much the new contract cut into shareholder profits.

Don’t act like that was the best deal they could have gotten. They cowardly backed down instead of striking while the iron was hot.
Can you fucking imagine the impact of the UPS strike being followed immediately by this strike too? Holy shit.
