[QUOTE="Pip, post: 109976, member: 6039"] I'm not really sure what to think here with this thread. On one hand, I feel that people are speaking without consideration of the past and present. Meaning, the history of the teamsters who fought for the wages and benefits and rights we as UPS employee's enjoy this very day. Faces and people have come and gone. But the power and concept of people standing together for what they believed in, is still the very foundation of what the teamsters was built on. A person doesn't have to look very far to see other people who don't have what were at UPS have. People working in what ever profession making a fraction of the wages and next to nothing for benefits. What we have at UPS comes from people sticking together, forming a union and being represented by that union. The teamsters union has done an awful lot for the people that have come and gone through UPS. From what I am seeing here is, well, it just looks like ungrateful ignorance of what you have and are able to enjoy as an employee of UPS's. If it wasn't for the teamsters, we, all of us could easily be making $10 an hr. with hardly any benefits to mention of. Becareful of what you wish for, You might not like the alternative. [/QUOTE]
