[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 83447, member: 2189"] It's funny reading these posts about our retirement and earlier today I caught part of program on the History Channel discussing the Mob and how Hoffa was connected. One of the events discussed was how Hoffa arranged a pension fund loan to none other than Fidel Castro in Cuba back in the 1950's. They pretty much laid this out as fact folks! All politics aside. How is it that you can say this was a good and proper fudicary function on the part of Hoffa to loan money to a political figure involved in a political revolution? I personally don't think the APWA is a threat to the IBT. What is the threat is the idea that UPSers can have their own union that looks out for their own interests. A union not containing us from what we can do as a company or what we as employees could attain for ourselves making our company stronger or better all in the interest of keeping a balanced or otherwise mediocre transportation industry segment under the control of the IBT. I often wonder if the fear of non-union trucking employers to the IBT is not so-much the higher wage and benefits commanded by union employees but rather the restrictive nature of contracts concerning flexibility of meeting the marketplace demands in order to maintain the collective balance for the IBT? They fear the free thinking Teamster member especially a UPS one. UPS Teamsters are the economic backbone of the IBT. We know and they know it. Never forget that! ScratchKing, Remember the old Local 928 and how upset everyone got that UPS had their own local? BTW: Excellent comments in your post! [/QUOTE]
