It's horrible what companies like DHL Amazon Fed ex ups etc are doing to workers. They treat the employees as though they already fully automated the workplace and treat them like robots... But then again there'd probably treat the robots better since it's the company property 😤. I'm glad unionizing is back in style and i hope everyone can rise up and obtain better conditions. It's really sad, but also hopeful.
UPS's workforce has been unionized for a while now... Tbh, i don't know how that effects working conditions, but given what I've heard about their pay rates, i assume conditions are also majorly improved ...not that one good egg excuses this behavior from the other shipping giants...
FedEx says the same thing when you get an injury "what could you have done differently?". Motherfucker you think I asked to get injured? Almost every aspect of their "safety protocols" are filled to the brim with finding interesting ways to blame the worker for their injury.
@@patconner2638 I'm a UPS Driver so I can say from experience, yes, our pay & benefits (which should be the standard) are better because of the Union. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop the company from treating us like just another number on their spreadsheet. 1907 UPS was founded by James Casey whom personally requested that the Teamsters represent his employees around 1916. The stark difference between an employer asking the union to represent it's employees versus the modern capitalist viewpoint of 'profit over people' has created these corporate driven low-standard conditions in our country.

DHL is garbage. They could care less about their employees and their customers as well. I have had a horrific customer service issue with DHL which makes me never ever want to have anything to do with this company again. I feel for the workers.
Big international corps like these have no problems following the stricter laws of other countries. Just remember that they do whatever minimum they can get away with.
That's how it works. Always kick down. It's always YOUR fault. Are you a tug mechanic? No. But it's still YOUR fault for some inexplicable reason. They don't care if you cripple yourself. There's always another warm body to fill the void.
When my thumb got broken in 2019, not only did they ask me what I could have done to avoid the accident, which by the way there was nothing I could have done because it was a freak accident, they also sent me back to work after putting stitches through my fingernail. They didn't let me go home they didn't send me to the hospital, they made me go right back out and go right back to work.

@@froman816 I assume you're talking about UPS? They kept up with inflation until 2021. But the demands we work under & the day to day physical exhaustion are unparalleled to any other delivery service.
They do, but safety only goes so far. If you don't pay attention to your work and what you're doing around big machinery, or potentially hazardous packages.. Guess what... You're gonna get hurt. Every mention of an injury in this video could have been avoided if the worker was PAYING ATTENTION. I'm not sure what a union is going to change about that. 🤣
DHL is known as a good employer here in Germany where they have the best conditions for their parcel service (the best being adequate in this case). Sad to see that they don’t try to have the same reputation overseas.
They do have a decent reputation among parcel services here but that's mostly due to the strong unions they inherited after buying the Deutsche Post in '96. They would be way worse if we let them. A strong example is the way they're trying to undermine unions by hiring several levels of subcontractors when possible. They hire subcontractors who hire subcontractors who hire subcontractors, and on the lower levels you're essentially left with "companies" consisting of a few eastern European guys driving around in wildly unsafe, rusty vans while earning less than minimum wage.
Ich hatte mal einen Arbeitsunfall ... Ein Manager hat mir dann erklären wollen das dies ja garnicht passieren könnte wenn ich Prozesskonform arbeiten würde und mir eine Abmahnung erteilt Das war mein erster Unfall in 3 Jahren
3:48 “What could you have done differently?” I hate that. I sliced the tip of my finger off on some sharp metal the other day(it’s not bad it’s tiny but it went down to the muscle. It just didn’t want to stop bleeding. But I had to do the incident report and that was one of the questions they asked.
The way DHL is treating their workers is horrendous! Thank you for this video and 100% support to these amazing workers who are fighting for their dignity and for the value of their work to be respected and recognized.
Jessica was right on! She was very unsafe when she had a passenger in her tug without permission and almost ran me over due to lack of attention on her part. She’s lying about 3rd shift. They begged people to fill it out. $6.50 in raises over 2 years is what came. When I was injured my bosses put me on light duty and came up to our nurses office to see how I was. The ridiculous amount of safety training I have to endure every year is ridiculous, and this is full of nonsense. I hope they understand what this means moving forward. DHL pays very well and has excellent benefits. The union dues will take a big bite out of that. I’ll always enjoy the 20 smoke breaks they take throughout their shift and naps out in their tug in the north ramp.
I’m appalled by this video and the lies that have been made. I have been at DHL for over 5 years. DHL is a great company. They gave us a $3 raise company wide last year. Not to mention an extra week of paid time off.
I’ve worked here for years and yes we have had injuries but most of these are the persons fault. I’ve personlh had to tell people to not sit on roller, wear hi viz, don’t be in the drive lane, etc. I’ve work both first and now on third. We also did get covid raise. We did get two 40¢ raised and not the others a few years after but that’s because our wage went up over 7$ extra. So we got more than a ¢ raise. I agree a union should come in but not for safety. It’s manly managers that don’t care. The company itself does. If teamsters comes in most likely we will lose vacation days and lose even more hours.
Dhl genesis logistics is just as bad if not worse! Chesapeake warehouse got all their fire hydrants zipped tied but drivers are not allowed to carry a pocket knife. Safety risk. They recently laid off in texas and in Va and probably will do more…they’ve had several law suits and in their way for another class action law suit because director for region doesn’t know the companies policies, who he works for, yet tries enforcing them by misquoting them. (Example, doctors note are excusable in policy but he tells all warehouses he’s over that they are not! Dishonesty of any kind is also quoted in policy, which he is breaking) They also withhold information that would help drivers make better choices that fit for themselves, and wait until it’s too late to tell the truth, when a driver has to make choice and no time to contemplate the “stipulations “ that was suddenly exposed. They’ve also given a verbal contract in promising a 5 day work paycheck, however they are putting drivers as “spare” which does not guarantee a route, meaning NOt guaranteed work week paycheck. They will only allow them to work warehouse which is half their pay that is contracted. HR has been called several times by multiple people for years, and he does nothing! They won’t even allow a paper trail like email, you have to call. This way, there is no trail of evidence of anything being said or could easily be lied to. No one trust this company or the companies that use them. (7/11, Walmart, ) This information is nowhere in applications, interviews, policies, etc, only by word of mouth only then to be changed when out to test or forcing supervisors to show their hand. By the time, it’s too late. They got you by the balls. Breaking basic and human laws as well as their own company policies.
I’ve worked in this building for over 6 years. Starting at 12.25. That 40 cent raise has been applied every 6 months like clockwork other than when they gave us the 2 dollar raise company wide to compete with Amazon. For compensation for Covid we received another $2 raise(after a year of working through it unfortunately). We received a $3 raise for a particularly bad peak season back in 2018. And everyone I know on ramp loves ramp and hates working in the building. The only actual truth in this video, from my perspective, is when things happen they do blame you and ask “what could you have done” it’s never the company’s fault. And HR is terrible They don’t care about you in any scenerio. I hate my job but it’s better than most other jobs and that’s why I’ve stayed. There’s problems but what’s said here seems like very misleading union propaganda
Yeah, they are awful, if by awful you mean expecting you to do your work, that you signed up to do? They pay well over minimum wage. Bringing in a union solves NONE of these issues. Oh, and so you expose one of the many lies in this video by stating you DID get a covid bonus, as we all did. Ya'll are insane.
Not say anything about a part that workers throw those packets as hard as they can and hope they will be broke so they can "accident" pick up things inside?
I worked at OnTrac, a scumbag warehouse operation in Sun Valley, CA (greater LA region). All I can say is the managers were horrible, one was abusive, the drivers were abusive (one punched a package sorter), and the mask enforcement was largely non-existent and dozens of people got sick early into the pandemic. I made dozens of reports of people not wearing masks since my first day and mostly got ignored, but also isolated, bullied, and pressured to quit my job for it. A manager literally asked me if I would be more comfortable if I didn't come to work.
Yes, the culture of management and even so many rank-and-file workers in so many workplaces is to put the company above safety & well-being all over this country. They hire and promote ruthless bullies to help to perpetuate this. OSHA needs more funding as well as regulatory and oversight power, as do local/state counterparts.
So many of America's problems would disappear if working Americans were just paid a decent wage for a change. They are suffering from a half-century of stagnant and declining pay due to voodoo trickle-down Reaganomics which we were promised would lift all boats. It didn't. They are long overdue for a very substantive raise. My understanding is that if pegged to productivity (because “hard work is rewarded”) the minimum wage should be well over $20, and if it went up at the same rate as Wall Street bonuses (hardly work?) it would be over $40. Can you imagine what it would be if it went up at the same rate as CEO compensation? Over 1000%! From BusinessInsider: “The typical full-time salary in America would be $102,000 if wages had kept up with growth - but the economy has failed 90% of workers...”
5 days ago, all the comments are supportive. starting two days ago, anti-union posters are galore in this comment section. There are agents of big corporations among us.
I guess part of this is the different set of laws. In Germany, managers are responsible for protecting their workers' safety and they are held personally responsible by the criminal system if someone gets injured due to lack of safety protection by them (i.e. the state's attorney will come knocking at the manager's door and ask hard questions if something goes wrong).
But other than that, you're correct. DHL is a reasonably big German company and frequent injuries and deaths like that should trigger alarm bells in the company headquarters if they have any kind of central oversight.
Good for them! I am so sick of hearing about companies raking in the big bucks and not sharing the profits with the people who do the actual work. Go Unions!
This is not the case here. We are paid well for the jobs we do. I would challenge you to find something similar with the same "requirements". This whole video is lie after lie.
DHL even sucks for the customers. I had a package coming thru DHL and they passed it off to a subcontractor who shipped it over half of the remaining distance before they said they weren't paid enough to ship it the rest of the way. So they returned it to DHL, who then considered the package delivered.
I’m here NYC. This country is headed towards a worker's revolution. If our politicians don’t start legislating these corporations to recognize worker’s rights there’s gonna be uprisings throughout the country eventually. I don’t know how long they expect workers to choose between food or electricity while working in the richest most powerful country on earth and working for corporations pulling in record profits in the $100’s of billions every year?
Omg this is crazy, but absolutely not surprising…. Here in the Netherlands we had /have a similar story that blew up a couple of months ago. At Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. But instead of parcels its the group that have to carry the luggage on and of board. By law a person can only lift X amount of kg, so therefor they have these electronic type of lifts. But most of them are also old and unreliable and most of them are unused. Also the inspection that has to monitor if workers rights are respected “forgot” to go for a visit in the last 10 or more years 🫠🫠🫠 even after getting clear signs of worker rights being ignored.
Hey I work for them! Can confirm that they are an awful company. They start every meeting talking about how important safety is and then ignore every single suggestion you give them about how to make the workplace safer. They boasted about making $4 billion net profit in 2021 and yet they never fix or replace any of their broken and dangerous equipment. They were "generous" enough to give us a one-time hazard payment for a whopping $300 for working throughout the pandemic. As soon as profits stopped soaring they did layoffs for 1/3rd of the staff and now expect the remaining 2/3rds to do the workload of a full staff. Unsurprisingly 10% of those people then proceeded to get back injuries. I'm lucky enough to work for a unionized location so I at least receive decent compensation, can't even imagine how dreadful the conditions are when there's no union representation. Stand strong people, unionize. United we bargain, divided we beg.
To the younger folks: Get your Union up and running. The members need to be involved and police their own union, ongoing. Management is not capable and has never had the intention of dealing with your safety concerns. Go form your union! Don't ever give up no matter how long it takes! You best be at the negotiating table and have a say because your on the menu!
To ALL folks. Don't age discriminate. And stop putting it on individuals alone. Where's the external support from ... anywhere? Not management itself, but even groups like More Perfect Union elevating stories and so on. The whole "it's on you" thing has merit, but only up to a point. We need collective support, not individual shaming.
Dang, we're right back in 1908 fighting for basic human rights while the capitalists buy their 14th yacht and couldn't count their money in a lifetime.
Thank you for always spotlighting workers!!! In a world that constantly tries to show ceos in a positive light it’s great to see these kinds of videos. How can we support?
Their equipment is all falling apart too. It’s wild I’m just seeing this because this JUST happened. I went to grab a tug and when my lead was trying to hook me up to a dollie my breaks gave out and I almost crushed hi.m. It scared the hell out of me but thank God he wasn’t hurt
I work for waste management in Canada. Unionized. Same bs, coworkers dead from heavy equipment, or a 3rd party crushing them 😢 equipment breaks down constantly and ive driven trucks over 20 years old. They claim safety is their priority, they make 64 billion a year, and then tell us its not in the budget to replace an entire truck... its sickening and corporations are all monsters. The benefit of the union is you can refuse the unsafe work/equipment without worries of punishment but that equipment will still be there, just passed on to someone who wont turn it down.
@TheMysteryDriver I prefer getting a new union honestly. They're the worst I've ever had and fall into the same category as the employer now, being a corporatized union. The last contract negation for wages they told individually "its the best we're going to get and its fair, we should take this deal", without further negotiations. It was sad. Unifor is terrible
No worse would be getting sucked into the engine (yes that's unfortunately a real thing). You also have to worry about the engine sucking up debirs and then spitting it back out at a billion MPH.
This is a joke, and a hilarious one sided story. Everything in this video is grossly exaggerated. Been here for 8 years, from the bottom. They expect you to do your work, and be safe doing it. IF you don't know anything about DHL, or someone who works there, just reach out. It's a great place to work, and this propaganda garbage is a joke.
This company needs investigating for it's corruption and how the handel thinginproper. DHL MADE MY LIFE A MISSERY. The only good thing thier good at is delivering King Charles's mangoes from some out of the way countries that you never hear about. So much for carbon foot prints😅😅
UNION for worker rights, pay increases, safety and non toxic work environments! People are struggling and the fat cats who benefit from the sweat abd tears of the average worker, SOULD BE AND NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!
I am an aeronautics student specializing in aviation safety. If accidents are happening on the ramp this often. There needs to be an FAA and NTSB investigation into DHL to figure out what is happening and to put a stop to it.
@@patrickmcpartland1398 the FAA has full regulatory athority over commercial cargo airlines under title 14 PART 121. if they don't comply with any FAR's, AD's, or other regulatory changes they could have their license revoked.
@@ihatemegatron216Buddy our accident rate at DHL is one every couple of months at the most. A lot of the injuries come from loading and unloading inside the building. The ramp is fairly safe as long as you know what you’re doing and keep your awareness up.
@@ihatemegatron216By the way that falls under maintenance and doesn’t typically apply to the freight company unless we are overloading or just generally tearing aircraft up.
1:33 Crossing an active runway without control tower authorization is criminal, not only she could get killed but also a few hundreds passagers. If she really did such a thing she would be in jail for a very long time with charges of attempt murder.
We have a main ramp and a “north ramp”. You have to cross an active taxi lane, WITHIN a drive lane after stopping at a stop bar or else you can be fined. Obviously, not everyone stops at the stop bars but no one ever crosses the drive lane lines. I have had one of my drivers 3 years ago accidentally hit our feeder plane because of this. Driver error but there is a lot of factors.
Unionized your workers..... Contact pete buttigieg ( transportation secretary)on the transportation issues happening, also call osha....im sorry your workplace is so bad..💙✔🗳📜🇺🇲 (also email supreme court justices tell them not to repeal chevron law..)
I used to work for a big grocery company's warehouse . the equipment never worked and management never cared since it was a performance based pay . So , they made sure you couldn't work as fast as you could ,this way you got paid less
I know what they meant, but she's adding drama acting like a plane is speeding towards them at takeoff and landing speeds. As long as you don't cut the plane off, if you break down the plane will stop.
@@AngryK9 I guess thats a fair response to my statement. I know I've seen the video, but can't remember to say he did cut the plane off. Whether he did or not, the fault is on the tug driver or the pilot. Not really on DHL.
I am pro-union, and am happy that the Teamsters have won the election. I am interested in seeing what the first contract will be. But I'm very much against some of the misinformation that was being spread by this video and some of my fellow coworkers on what the union will deliver.
Don’t let these 1st shift people fool you. We DID get covid pay. Got a 3 dollar raise Q4 of 2022, just got another raise, we’re provided free food, granted 3 months of maternity and paternity leave, given an extra week of floating holiday day, we have nurses on sight, and have people dedicated to helping our mental help and give resources for people during hard times… we also have a site that gives all kinds of discount there’s even one to help you with your bills. I hear people on tug and ramp say they sleep all the time. That’s why a lot of stuff has been put on hold cause DHL been throwing money at us. Y’all only agreed to do this cause y’all think y’all for going to get a 10 dollar raise like be forreal?!
The thing is, you can b1tch about how THEY don't deserve more pay. Sure. But that's not really smart. Because... ...If you support them, and they win a better contract for everyone? YOU get more money. You're burning down your house to set theirs on fire. Have fun with that.
@@froman816 You mean, you won't get more pay if the people at your job force a better contract _for everyone?_ They're going to specifically write certain people out?
We got €100 when they spent millions refurbishing office space while our coworkers were on ventilators. That three dollars doesn’t make a dent when you take into consideration that things like rent locally went up 32% and that’s not including inflation on everything else.
Fifty percent of the managers, supervisors there, should be fired if they don't care about the safety of there workers. Especially the director of operations. They need to hire people that are qualified for the positions, and not hire people that half butt through.
Considering 1000 people have done the same thing before you without injury, this seems like a logical question to ask. 99/100 times, the person was distracted from their job.
The airline industry charges you $30.00 or more depending upon the number of bags you check as well as their weight. Airlines such as Hawaiian pay $12.00 per hour. The industry was bailed out by the government, these are the same executives, well paid I might add, who do not want to raise workers' wages.
🤣🤣🤣 It's work at an airport. Literally every description of an accident she described could have been avoided by the employee paying attention to what they are doing. IF you have epilepsy, maybe you shouldn't be driving in the first place.

(Example, doctors note are excusable in policy but he tells all warehouses he’s over that they are not! Dishonesty of any kind is also quoted in policy, which he is breaking)
They also withhold information that would help drivers make better choices that fit for themselves, and wait until it’s too late to tell the truth, when a driver has to make choice and no time to contemplate the “stipulations “ that was suddenly exposed.
They’ve also given a verbal contract in promising a 5 day work paycheck, however they are putting drivers as “spare” which does not guarantee a route, meaning NOt guaranteed work week paycheck. They will only allow them to work warehouse which is half their pay that is contracted.
HR has been called several times by multiple people for years, and he does nothing! They won’t even allow a paper trail like email, you have to call. This way, there is no trail of evidence of anything being said or could easily be lied to.
No one trust this company or the companies that use them. (7/11, Walmart, )
This information is nowhere in applications, interviews, policies, etc, only by word of mouth only then to be changed when out to test or forcing supervisors to show their hand. By the time, it’s too late. They got you by the balls. Breaking basic and human laws as well as their own company policies.
I’ve worked in this building for over 6 years. Starting at 12.25. That 40 cent raise has been applied every 6 months like clockwork other than when they gave us the 2 dollar raise company wide to compete with Amazon.
For compensation for Covid we received another $2 raise(after a year of working through it unfortunately). We received a $3 raise for a particularly bad peak season back in 2018. And everyone I know on ramp loves ramp and hates working in the building. The only actual truth in this video, from my perspective, is when things happen they do blame you and ask “what could you have done” it’s never the company’s fault. And HR is terrible They don’t care about you in any scenerio. I hate my job but it’s better than most other jobs and that’s why I’ve stayed. There’s problems but what’s said here seems like very misleading union propaganda
Preachhhhh
Quit ordering stuff then.
Oh, wait, you can’t.
A arm of Amazon why wouldn't they be.
Hail the profit god. It’s a privilege to give them our money and labor.
This should have been brought out sooner. That's a horrible situation to be in.
It's not true. It's lies.
Yeah, they are awful, if by awful you mean expecting you to do your work, that you signed up to do? They pay well over minimum wage. Bringing in a union solves NONE of these issues. Oh, and so you expose one of the many lies in this video by stating you DID get a covid bonus, as we all did.
Ya'll are insane.
Not say anything about a part that workers throw those packets as hard as they can and hope they will be broke so they can "accident" pick up things inside?
Constant complainers.
DHL pays double time!!!!!!
Cvg dhl doesn't
We all have a choice
Found the boot licker
Sure. And they're choosing to try to get better working conditions.
CALL OSHA TODAY
They won't do anything. Everything is up to standards, the ramp has a safety team that they ignore, this video is lies.
I worked at OnTrac, a scumbag warehouse operation in Sun Valley, CA (greater LA region). All I can say is the managers were horrible, one was abusive, the drivers were abusive (one punched a package sorter), and the mask enforcement was largely non-existent and dozens of people got sick early into the pandemic. I made dozens of reports of people not wearing masks since my first day and mostly got ignored, but also isolated, bullied, and pressured to quit my job for it. A manager literally asked me if I would be more comfortable if I didn't come to work.
Yes, the culture of management and even so many rank-and-file workers in so many workplaces is to put the company above safety & well-being all over this country. They hire and promote ruthless bullies to help to perpetuate this.
OSHA needs more funding as well as regulatory and oversight power, as do local/state counterparts.

So many of America's problems would disappear if working Americans were just paid a decent wage for a change. They are suffering from a half-century of stagnant and declining pay due to voodoo trickle-down Reaganomics which we were promised would lift all boats. It didn't. They are long overdue for a very substantive raise. My understanding is that if pegged to productivity (because “hard work is rewarded”) the minimum wage should be well over $20, and if it went up at the same rate as Wall Street bonuses (hardly work?) it would be over $40. Can you imagine what it would be if it went up at the same rate as CEO compensation? Over 1000%! From BusinessInsider: “The typical full-time salary in America would be $102,000 if wages had kept up with growth - but the economy has failed 90% of workers...”
5 days ago, all the comments are supportive. starting two days ago, anti-union posters are galore in this comment section. There are agents of big corporations among us.
Or the video is just full of lies? 🤣
it's a german brand, and we usually like unions. But I'm not suprised by DHL being evil.
It's always funny how these companies behave when they seem to do fine in other places yet giving their employees way more.
I guess part of this is the different set of laws. In Germany, managers are responsible for protecting their workers' safety and they are held personally responsible by the criminal system if someone gets injured due to lack of safety protection by them (i.e. the state's attorney will come knocking at the manager's door and ask hard questions if something goes wrong).
But other than that, you're correct. DHL is a reasonably big German company and frequent injuries and deaths like that should trigger alarm bells in the company headquarters if they have any kind of central oversight.
Good for them! I am so sick of hearing about companies raking in the big bucks and not sharing the profits with the people who do the actual work. Go Unions!
This is not the case here. We are paid well for the jobs we do. I would challenge you to find something similar with the same "requirements". This whole video is lie after lie.

@@nsbd90nowthis whole video is lies, but, I guess you'd know better.. Been with DHL 9 years. You?
DHL even sucks for the customers. I had a package coming thru DHL and they passed it off to a subcontractor who shipped it over half of the remaining distance before they said they weren't paid enough to ship it the rest of the way. So they returned it to DHL, who then considered the package delivered.
So did you ever get it?
@@TheMysteryDriver lol
I’m here NYC. This country is headed towards a worker's revolution. If our politicians don’t start legislating these corporations to recognize worker’s rights there’s gonna be uprisings throughout the country eventually. I don’t know how long they expect workers to choose between food or electricity while working in the richest most powerful country on earth and working for corporations pulling in record profits in the $100’s of billions every year?
Omg this is crazy, but absolutely not surprising…. Here in the Netherlands we had /have a similar story that blew up a couple of months ago. At Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. But instead of parcels its the group that have to carry the luggage on and of board.
By law a person can only lift X amount of kg, so therefor they have these electronic type of lifts. But most of them are also old and unreliable and most of them are unused.
Also the inspection that has to monitor if workers rights are respected “forgot” to go for a visit in the last 10 or more years 🫠🫠🫠 even after getting clear signs of worker rights being ignored.
Hey I work for them! Can confirm that they are an awful company. They start every meeting talking about how important safety is and then ignore every single suggestion you give them about how to make the workplace safer. They boasted about making $4 billion net profit in 2021 and yet they never fix or replace any of their broken and dangerous equipment. They were "generous" enough to give us a one-time hazard payment for a whopping $300 for working throughout the pandemic. As soon as profits stopped soaring they did layoffs for 1/3rd of the staff and now expect the remaining 2/3rds to do the workload of a full staff. Unsurprisingly 10% of those people then proceeded to get back injuries. I'm lucky enough to work for a unionized location so I at least receive decent compensation, can't even imagine how dreadful the conditions are when there's no union representation.
Stand strong people, unionize. United we bargain, divided we beg.
I'll take Bullshit Lies for $600 Alex.

Union & Proud!
Unions helped build the middle class and make the USA an economic powerhouse. Dont let anyone tell you differently.
DHL never should've been allowed to be Privatized from Germanies National Post Office. The same goes for Scotland's & Japan Post as well.
That is horrible work situation.
Dhl workers need to go on strike and secure their union and fight back mercilessly against corporate union busting.
They don't though. This video is a joke.
To the younger folks: Get your Union up and running. The members need to be involved and police their own union, ongoing. Management is not capable and has never had the intention of dealing with your safety concerns. Go form your union! Don't ever give up no matter how long it takes! You best be at the negotiating table and have a say because your on the menu!
To ALL folks. Don't age discriminate. And stop putting it on individuals alone. Where's the external support from ... anywhere? Not management itself, but even groups like More Perfect Union elevating stories and so on. The whole "it's on you" thing has merit, but only up to a point. We need collective support, not individual shaming.
Fuck yeah DHL workers!!!! Every working class person in America should follow suit!!!
🤣🤣🤣 Naaaa, this whole video is lies.
GO DHL employees! 👏🙂
Fellow Teamster! 😎
and ya'll thought Walmart was evil
You all have my full and complete support. Stand strong!
Dang, we're right back in 1908 fighting for basic human rights while the capitalists buy their 14th yacht and couldn't count their money in a lifetime.
Greed destroys everything.
Only unity makes us strong💪. May God❤Almighty bless your efforts!
Thank you for always spotlighting workers!!! In a world that constantly tries to show ceos in a positive light it’s great to see these kinds of videos. How can we support?
Their equipment is all falling apart too. It’s wild I’m just seeing this because this JUST happened. I went to grab a tug and when my lead was trying to hook me up to a dollie my breaks gave out and I almost crushed hi.m. It scared the hell out of me but thank God he wasn’t hurt
I work for waste management in Canada. Unionized. Same bs, coworkers dead from heavy equipment, or a 3rd party crushing them 😢 equipment breaks down constantly and ive driven trucks over 20 years old. They claim safety is their priority, they make 64 billion a year, and then tell us its not in the budget to replace an entire truck... its sickening and corporations are all monsters. The benefit of the union is you can refuse the unsafe work/equipment without worries of punishment but that equipment will still be there, just passed on to someone who wont turn it down.
Sounds like your union needs to renegotiate
@TheMysteryDriver I prefer getting a new union honestly. They're the worst I've ever had and fall into the same category as the employer now, being a corporatized union. The last contract negation for wages they told individually "its the best we're going to get and its fair, we should take this deal", without further negotiations. It was sad. Unifor is terrible
Green For Life?
Work sucks, amirite?
Getting run over by a plane.... okay found a new worst way to die I guess.
That dude lived
No worse would be getting sucked into the engine (yes that's unfortunately a real thing). You also have to worry about the engine sucking up debirs and then spitting it back out at a billion MPH.
This is a joke, and a hilarious one sided story. Everything in this video is grossly exaggerated. Been here for 8 years, from the bottom. They expect you to do your work, and be safe doing it.
IF you don't know anything about DHL, or someone who works there, just reach out. It's a great place to work, and this propaganda garbage is a joke.
We did get covid pay. She is clueless.
Workers on the ground make the world run on time. Time for us to be able to live and breath united.
Just pay people a livable wage.... Seriously they didn't get a COVID bonus ... These are the people who made sure doctors and nurses got their PPE....
We DID actually get a COVID bonus. It was widely broadcasted within our hub. So. That’s a lie.
SOLIDARITY WITH DHL WORKERS! #CapitalismIsLethal
Good luck, stand tall!!!!!
This company needs investigating for it's corruption and how the handel thinginproper. DHL MADE MY LIFE A MISSERY. The only good thing thier good at is delivering King Charles's mangoes from some out of the way countries that you never hear about. So much for carbon foot prints😅😅
What?
Open your eyes rouge company ran by bullshit and bullies. High rate of heart and cancer deaths. Xxxx
UNION for worker rights, pay increases, safety and non toxic work environments!
People are struggling and the fat cats who benefit from the sweat abd tears of the average worker, SOULD BE AND NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE!
I am an aeronautics student specializing in aviation safety. If accidents are happening on the ramp this often. There needs to be an FAA and NTSB investigation into DHL to figure out what is happening and to put a stop to it.
Student is the key word in that statement. Cute you still have hope that will do anything
@@patrickmcpartland1398 the FAA has full regulatory athority over commercial cargo airlines under title 14 PART 121. if they don't comply with any FAR's, AD's, or other regulatory changes they could have their license revoked.
@@ihatemegatron216Buddy our accident rate at DHL is one every couple of months at the most. A lot of the injuries come from loading and unloading inside the building. The ramp is fairly safe as long as you know what you’re doing and keep your awareness up.
@@ihatemegatron216By the way that falls under maintenance and doesn’t typically apply to the freight company unless we are overloading or just generally tearing aircraft up.
f amazon ! great video
1:33 Crossing an active runway without control tower authorization is criminal, not only she could get killed but also a few hundreds passagers. If she really did such a thing she would be in jail for a very long time with charges of attempt murder.
We have a main ramp and a “north ramp”. You have to cross an active taxi lane, WITHIN a drive lane after stopping at a stop bar or else you can be fined. Obviously, not everyone stops at the stop bars but no one ever crosses the drive lane lines. I have had one of my drivers 3 years ago accidentally hit our feeder plane because of this. Driver error but there is a lot of factors.
She definitely meant taxiway 😂 i forehead palmed when she said that. I work at cvg 3rd shift nobody is driving on the runway
Unionized your workers..... Contact pete buttigieg ( transportation secretary)on the transportation issues happening, also call osha....im sorry your workplace is so bad..💙✔🗳📜🇺🇲 (also email supreme court justices tell them not to repeal chevron law..)
Totally unsurprising for a company where former McKinley employees hold a number of senior executive positions including the outgoing group CEO…
I used to work for a big grocery company's warehouse . the equipment never worked and management never cared since it was a performance based pay . So , they made sure you couldn't work as fast as you could ,this way you got paid less
If you can't pay your workers, you should not be in business.
They can, and they do.
Endless convenience sure has a high cost
I don’t want to hear no one on the ramp cry about my dues are to high.
🙏 😅amen
I knew it was a matter of time y'all would do a video on DHL
The FAA would like to talk to the intercon driver that's driving across an active runway
Probably the taxi way
I know what they meant, but she's adding drama acting like a plane is speeding towards them at takeoff and landing speeds. As long as you don't cut the plane off, if you break down the plane will stop.
@@mattturner5141 Except for the guy crossing the zip line in a tug and got hit and flipped by the feeder...
@@AngryK9 I guess thats a fair response to my statement. I know I've seen the video, but can't remember to say he did cut the plane off. Whether he did or not, the fault is on the tug driver or the pilot. Not really on DHL.
I am pro-union, and am happy that the Teamsters have won the election. I am interested in seeing what the first contract will be. But I'm very much against some of the misinformation that was being spread by this video and some of my fellow coworkers on what the union will deliver.
Don’t let these 1st shift people fool you. We DID get covid pay. Got a 3 dollar raise Q4 of 2022, just got another raise, we’re provided free food, granted 3 months of maternity and paternity leave, given an extra week of floating holiday day, we have nurses on sight, and have people dedicated to helping our mental help and give resources for people during hard times… we also have a site that gives all kinds of discount there’s even one to help you with your bills. I hear people on tug and ramp say they sleep all the time. That’s why a lot of stuff has been put on hold cause DHL been throwing money at us. Y’all only agreed to do this cause y’all think y’all for going to get a 10 dollar raise like be forreal?!
Preachhhhhh
The thing is, you can b1tch about how THEY don't deserve more pay.
Sure.
But that's not really smart.
Because...
...If you support them, and they win a better contract for everyone?
YOU get more money.
You're burning down your house to set theirs on fire.
Have fun with that.
@@grmpEqweer Please tell me more about things you know nothing about.
@@froman816
You mean, you won't get more pay if the people at your job force a better contract _for everyone?_
They're going to specifically write certain people out?
We got €100 when they spent millions refurbishing office space while our coworkers were on ventilators. That three dollars doesn’t make a dent when you take into consideration that things like rent locally went up 32% and that’s not including inflation on everything else.
Fifty percent of the managers, supervisors there, should be fired if they don't care about the safety of there workers.
Especially the director of operations. They need to hire people that are qualified for the positions, and not hire people that half butt through.
Fire her and her coworkers pulling this shit and drive on…
Lmfao how bout any of the complainers go start their own shipping company and see if you will want to share the profits with your slave class workers
"What could you have done differently?"
That question is to get you to incriminate yourself and avoid liability.
Considering 1000 people have done the same thing before you without injury, this seems like a logical question to ask.

The airline industry charges you $30.00 or more depending upon the number of bags you check as well as their weight. Airlines such as Hawaiian pay $12.00 per hour. The industry was bailed out by the government, these are the same executives, well paid I might add, who do not want to raise workers' wages.
You have no idea what you're talking about, and this does not even closely have anything to do with what's happening here.
Either it’s Socialism or barbarism
My question for the company has always been “What could YOU have done differently?”…go Teamsters!

I didn't realize that DHL was still around!
They ship to every single country in the world, even North Korea, Eritrea, Nauru & Iran. However, they only offer international shipping in the US.
They couldn't compete in the US with FedEx, UPS and USPS. They underestimated the US's size, cost conscious, rurality and more.
They're the largest logistics company in the world but in the US they only handle international freight.
