[QUOTE="gman, post: 58214"] Bottom line It's all about the money. Things are going back to the early days of unions when the company had all the money and all the power. The Teamsters are dwindleing down and until the general work force nationwide feels the hammer coming down and reacts, it's not going to get any better. There are so many men and women right now working in $10 an hour jobs, with no benefits struggleing to get by on two jobs that they would take your job in a heartbeat. Corporate America is getting their wish. A crumbleing unionized workforce. The auto workers have already weakened. We are on the way. When the contract comes due, those people will be our biggest rival. We, the haves, against the have nots. UPS will have folks drooling at the mouth to take your job. And we may all be so sick of working 10, 11 and 12 hour days, we might just chuck it and give them up. And when I say that, I mean go out on strike. And if we do that, unfortunately, I doubt any of us will wear brown again. Not an opinion I like but the one I think is going to come about. HOwever, the teamsters know that if we strike, there will be now union left. There will be no money to run it. There will be no one left paying into the pension or health plan. The entire system will die. That is why we will take waht the company offers and live with it. like it or not. And even if we take a pay cut, count on the Teamsters raising dues again. JMO [/QUOTE]
