July 29, 2008: In the quote of the week, a CNBC host told viewers that UPS “pantsed” and “pummeled” the Teamsters in the new contract.

Here is what Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money on CNBC, had to say:

“The company got a new labor agreement with the Teamsters, effective August 1, that will let UPS pay new drivers less than it does veterans. This is a classic example of a union hosing people who aren’t members yet, and one that could save UPS $640 million over the next five years.

“I cannot overemphasize the importance of this contract to UPS. Personally, of course, I love unions. But professionally, I love companies that have crushed unions. And UPS, you know what they just did? They pantsed the Teamsters! Jimmy Hoffa must be rolling over in his Giants Stadium grave!’”
