[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 183368, member: 7185"] Quitting the Teamsters for the reasons you gave in defense of your decision are respectable. Given a choice between working or remaining a part of the bargaining unit, I'd probably have asked for a pen and paper and quit the Teamsters on the spot! I'm not entirely certain I'd have faced a crowd of angry, hot, frustrated people, though. If memory serves, that strike was in August. I'm from Texas and have visited in August. I skeddaled back to (relatively) cool anyway Illinois! Yes, I have a good memory. Screw me somehow and I'll probably remember your [B]name, face [I]and[/I] organization[/B] affiliation for longer than you'll remember what I look like. That's another story. I like your motto, sir. Mine is: No regrets, no second thoughts. Probably isn't an old language meaning for that one:sad:. I kinda like this one, though: Quis custodiet custodes ipsos?[U][COLOR=#0000cc] [/COLOR][/U] That's funny in some ways :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: , actually. I have a dry sense of humor. Still, its pitiful. Scabbing? Withdrawing from the Teamsters? How do you lump the two, 705? Ohh, that's right: all or nothing, right? "All for one, one for all?" kinda mentality? I think the Teamsters have abandoned that belief. I'm not advocating for the APWA either, folks. I've worked union AND non-union jobs. Last job I wasn't union. I wasn't treated real well AND needed the health benefits UPS offered, so I quit. But, the pay was pretty close to start. UPS offered guaranteed increases at certain times, the other job didn't. There are ups and downs to union and non-union. With the problems I've had with the Teamsters in the last 18 hours, I'm really tempted to quit. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
