[QUOTE="rocking chair guy, post: 123166"] From my 31 years with UPS and 27 of those being a union steward , it seemed that when they started hiring management people off the street and not having any experiences of working in the trenches as an hourly , thus knowing at least some of the workings of UPS , the quality of management slipped . Least when they had the policy of only promoting from within , those going into management had some knowledge of the different aspects of the operation and had been exposed to both good and bad management at UPS and had seen how that affected their job as to making it easier or harder , which would relate also to the operation of UPS running smoother or rougher . All to often a bad sup can make for a bad attitude on those working for them , and to be honest the same can be said about a hourly with a bad attitude affecting those around them . I have seen management who would sell you out in a heartbeat and have seen mangement who would go to the wall for you so depends on the individual , seen the same with my fellow drivers , some you could count on , some you couldn't ....will agree that I have seen as a steward that more and more it seemed like that the company would go for the throat of someone caught making a mistake that we used to be able to work out on a local level with the union and company , think that was/is a result of having too many people in the positions of power who have not " been there done that" and so do not know what the workforce goes thru on a day to day basis and therefore does not have a clue as to the inside operations of UPS , to them it is all about being on "paper " as to how things should be and that is wrong and damaging when you forget the human aspect of it and in the end will come back and bite you in the rear .
