Again, thanks for playing. Buh-bye.
That is because we see on a daily basis what "evil corporate plot" this company is capable of and yet see that the union negotiated the rank and file good raises and wages that we received during the economic downturn..

Did the union negotiate the CS buyout? If so why did they fight it 10 years earlier. why did your union invite the mob in ? why do they keep screwing up your pension plans. with the amount of money ups is paying towards your retirement all of you should be retiring as fat cats. did your union get the part timers their starting wage too? Did you union also extend out progression to inifinity?
Yes, there were several important issues that had to be resolved by a strike. As far as the Pension, a lot has changed since 1997 which is the only reason that UPS was able to seperate us out of the Central States fund. As far as Part-time jobs, look at how many part-time jobs have been combined into full time jobs. As far as wages, we should have been paid then what we make now (at the time the Union had the position that true cost-of living increases would have had us making what we make now back then). However, I think it was good to strike UPS just to remind you of who really is important to this company And we prob. need to do it again.
oh ok , a lot of things changed huh? why even bother serving that bullschat up?[/COLOR]
thanks for playing again....buy bye.
IMO customers could care less about your working conditions...about as much as you care about their working conditions. As for customers realizing you needed a fair wage I challenge you with this: Let every cutomer you come in contact with know know your hourly wage and what you make on overtime. They will think so highly of you!

Did you check your book? Do you have a contract book? Can you find it if you have one? Dust off the cob-webs, crack it open and look. You might be suprised what all is in there if you take the time to read it. "Buh-bye"
