Summary

It's a very special UPS Facebook group episode as we report on how the current Teamsters contract vote is driving certain people insane.

We find the same neuroses around voter fraud and stolen elections the right has about the US electoral system, but ported over to a union contract vote, and I try to talk some sense into one of them.

We also look at the bizarre ways right-wing Teamsters are channeling their reactionary politics into the good kind of class warfare.

Last but not least, several UPSers are voting No, not because of wages or benefits, but because they have serious issues with the removal of the "very normal" and "factual" pronouns from the 2023 contract language.

I will personally give up 4 dollars in raises if we can go back to his/her language
