delivering to companies on strike?

I’m glad you understand, and now see it my way. Now get back to work and increase profits… I need a raise! 😃
 
How the H$LL did we get to minimum wage YET AGAIN when we started off talking about delivering during a strike?

Really. Please. Stop hijacking the thread and go back to business decision around delivering to businesses behind a picket line.

pizzachop brought it up. I replied to him.

Wage and price controls reward sloth, while failing to reward productivity and ultimately result in a distorted marketplace rife with shortages and higher prices to the consumer. They are not new and reflect the designs of a centrally planned economy, of which the world has had their share. None of these economies come close to the productive output or prosperity produced by a free market model, the likes of which we are slowly (or not so slowly) discarding.​

We decided to take the route of not crossing. Except for the security guards (they’re an independent company that is on neither side) and they can meet us at the road.
Unfortunately, there are more local people on the picket line than inside the building, looking at the long term effect when the strike is over we would have more to lose than what we would gain for the short term orders.
Drivers safety is also an issue, I don’t think they would physically hurt him, but the car may be another subject if things start going wrong.

I just have such a difficult time believing that this should be any issue whatsoever. I’m not in a heavy union area so maybe I’m just naive in this department but it is just hard to believe that a pizza delivery place would be held in any negative light for doing what they are in business to do: Deliver pizza. If driver safety or the perception of your company are actually an issue if you deliver to the workers, my already negative view of unions and their members have just been lowered below where I thought possible. What’s the thought process here? Since they’re not currently earning an income, you and your employees should not be able to support your families? Just ridiculous!

Maybe I’m just naive too because I honestly would not give it a second thought. A customer ordered pizza and we are delivering it to them. End of story.

Minimum wage laws were put in place due to the repeated and ongoing exploitation of workers in this country.

Sorry, could not resist this one. Minimum wage laws and yearly increases in the minimums are only there for politicians to “buy” votes. When minimum wages go up, everything else follows as well. In the end there is no gain for the employee at minimum wage. In fact, just the opposite happens as it becomes cheaper to make or buy products elsewhere where costs are cheaper.

It’s kind of the politics and religion thing—it’s best not to take sides (publicly) in the business. By crossing the picket line you are showing disrespect to the union workers, some of which will show you the same when they come off the strike.
As most of the line is local, and my “family customers”, I do not wish to take the chance of losing their business when this strike is over.

In my area delivering across a picket line would pretty much do in a business unless they are mostly in business to service the business on strike…

Simple - ask them to come and collect.

Explain its a difficult position to put the driver in and offer them a really good deal.

Now that problems is solved lets talk about workers rights to strike and management practise…not…

Just deliver the stinkin’ pizzas!

A paying customer is a paying customer!

If the strikers want pizza, let them make the phone call!

Outside of the Rust Belt, we don’t even ask these sort of questions!
