The way they treat their people, their employees, which they don't you know, they don't they have 150 percent turnover ratio there. They focus on distressed communities to build their fulfillment centers. And they hide behind a third-party leasing arrangement with their drivers called a DSP model. They're not a W-2 employer, 1099, these delivery drivers. Conversely, UPS is our largest employer.
We have negotiated a $30 billion deal with We first came into office on behalf of 340,000 part-time and full-time members at UPS, where they get high wages, they get the best benefits, and they get pension for doing the same exact work. So Amazon is clearly... Jeff Bezos' attitude, and I'll tell you this, it's very smug. He doesn't respect the people that work for him.
He exploits distressed communities. And he thinks... that this should be the United States of Amazon, not the United States of America. And I love the fact when he stepped on his dicks, excuse my language, and he wanted to put what the tariffs would cost per piece.
And I took it one step further and I said, why don't you put what your profits reflect on every single package by exploiting the DSP model, third-party leasing arrangement, the 1099 wage scam you have going on. I would love to see that on your packages. And, you know, he doubled down and, you know, typical, you know, hit. Now he's hiding. Didn't comment on one of the dumbest things he's ever said.
So that's a clear example of his wife or fiancée. Is it his wife now or fiancée? She's about to be.
Just think about this. You're better half. You're a significant other. buys you a separate yacht because he's embarrassed by your friends who he doesn't want to call mingling with the dignitaries. I mean, that should send a signal up right away. I mean, is he worried about like another version of a diddy party or something? I don't know.
Like I stand by my friends. I grew up in a neighborhood and I, my friends come from, I always tell people, my friends are cops, robbers and clergy. Okay. And yeah. Whether they're good, they're bad, or indifferent, they're still my friends. I grew up with them. Loyalty.
I mean, what does that tell you about someone if they're not standing up for their friends because they might not be good enough or not come from the same class? Just think about how he looks at his workers who go to work every single day for him to make them the success.
You think he's looking at them any differently than he's looking at his wife's friends where he exiled them to Gilligan's Island while he's somewhere else?
I get a better bad idea. Catchy phrase, right? Have her go work. If she's so concerned about social justice, have her go work in one of her husband's facilities and see the exploitation of American workers, see the social injustices that are happening in that workplace every day, and then maybe she can take credit for an award that she clearly shouldn't be getting.
Oh, I had my youngest. I had my youngest. He's a sophomore at Suffolk University, plays hockey. And, you know, I have two kids. One's 24 and one's 21. Great kids. But again, like you, I grew up, I didn't grow up upper middle class or middle class. We were just beneath it. But, you know, we always want more for our kids. So we work that much harder, provide more for them.
But one thing that they needed to understand that there's a work ethic. No one gives you anything. No one gives you a home. No one gives you spending money. You got to go out and earn it. So my oldest is a plumber. He's in the plumbers union. You know, he works, he finishes apprenticeship program. He's 24 years old. And then I got my youngest who, I always say like he thinks he's a Kardashian.
You know, he wants Lululemon. He's a hockey player, typical hockey player, you know. Does he have a very enormous butt? Oh, yeah. He's got a big ass and a big attitude to go with it. But, you know, my point is I made him work in the union at a cement company, a ready mix company. And just, I want to, this is where you come from.
You know, if you want to do better in life, get an education, not that you're going to do better, but if you want an easier job that's less taxing on your body, you got to get to know the people that gave you the ability to enjoy your life that you have right now, these two paying members. Yes. And so I think, look, hard labor is great for kids in college.
Look, we've got tremendous amount of jobs throughout the United States where when I started out, I got a full scholarship to play football. The summer before I went to to play, I was in the union. I was throwing rubbish on the back of a truck in the city of Boston.
And I learned a good work ethic, but I was around people that I grew up around the dinner table with, hardworking people that were out there providing opportunity for their family. And there's nothing wrong with going to work every single day, providing that opportunity. But, you know, you can't forget where you come from. So your children busing tables, they're going to learn to respect people.
They're going to learn to respect the people they work with. And hopefully when they rise up through the ranks and become successful and they're getting weighted on, that they'll take into consideration the trials and tribulations they went through. Yes. And obviously embrace and respect the people that are serving them.
There's no better people in this world than people that are providing services, whether it's in restaurants or whatever it is. And I got to tell you, I've always told my kids, you always respect the people that are serving you in restaurants because they are trying to make ends meet. Some of those folks are working three and four jobs. But to your point, You want your son to go to work?
Let us know. If you live in Connecticut, we'll put them on the back of a rubbish truck. We'll put them in a liquor distributor. Yes. Whatever you want. And by the way, they'll get two educations because, you know, it's funny. My son's like, Dad, does everybody hate their wives? I'm like, no, not really. But, you know, it's just I go, it's like a locker room.
People say a lot of shit that they really wouldn't have the balls to say in front of their significant others. So just let it go. It's just it's just workplace jargon.
