[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 186070, member: 7185"] Ahhhhh, 705....you're actually somewhat funny. I have a good deal of respect for unions but I am an [I]individual[/I]! If I decide I don't like a union order, I'll sure as h*ll ignore that order. I don't work for the IBT. I am [B][I]employed[/I][/B] by and [B][I]paid[/I][/B] by an entity calling itself United Parcel Service. If my [B][I]employer[/I][/B] gives me a report order, I'll friend*&%ing follow it!! I have no problem with Satellite's description of events. He was calm and reasonable in his approach to the picket line. I can't say I'd do anything different in his position. By the way, 705, if the Teamsters struck UPS and I was living at home I have reason to believe my father would have come to my room and said: "You can cross that picket line or you can pack your bags and [I]leave[/I] my home!" I'm going to apply that same standard to my decision to cross a picket line [I]now [/I]as I have rent to make! Landlords aren't known for being patient for their $$! I was hired the year immediately following that election. The leadership was doing some good things. I wish some of it had been at the International level, though. Might see differences nationwide! Have I defended myself sufficiently? I await round 3. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
