[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 84074, member: 484"] You know, I enjoy playing black jack. And I understand that to really win big, you must play against the house, and the whole table needs to play together. That concept is great. Problem is this. If I play at the table with 7 other players and we all play together to break the house, should we all not split the earnings? Why should I take the shaft to let you really win big against the house? There is no I in team. But why should I loose 5 grand so the other 7 can break the house. And then they look at me really funny when I ask where my cut is. Collective bargaining only works if the collected winnings are shared with those that participate in the game. But to have the collective bargaining unit win big, but yet have members that lose big........something is not fair with that scene. The teamsters has lots of problems. And until someone comes along to force them into changing the way they do business, nothing will change. So at the black jack table, if you want to play as a team, fine, split the winnings. But if you dont, its every man for themselves. And with the game I play, I always do quite well. As far as them not being legit, depends on your comfort with what they have to offer. They do threaten the status quo. And that will really make some people very uncomfortable. But that is really good news, isn't it? Cause they have to change the way they run the union. Its not about them, its about us. They are there to serve us and are at our service. Problem is that they dont view us that way anymore. Teamsters has as much respect for the members as a john has for a two dollar hooker. Get what you can from them and give them a little bit in return. And for sure, always let them know that they wouldn't be :censored: without the union. Sorry, what you are asking is that we all go down together on a sinking boat, while singing the teamster recruiting songs. How much longer can UPS and the union UPS employees keep plugging the holes before we are sucked down with the ship? Its time for change, and if the teamsters will not, then they need to be left behind. d [/QUOTE]
