[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 58219"] Trick, well if you are basically saying "life ain't fair", yep, welcome back to the real world. [img]http://browncafe.com/discus2/clipart/thumbsup.gif[/img] What Danny portrays is basically sound, albeit "street" slanted in terminology and attitude. I agree most drivers consider this whole deal, small time rookie wildcat, the grievance procedure, etc. "a game" If you want to call it that then it's a money game like poker and those drivers just tried to bluff the company by shoving all their earnings into the pot. Won't work, the company will call because the company doesn't bluff. UPS doesn't consider it ain't a game, it's a business. And unless it deadlocks to the arbitrator (very rare) which is a long, expensive process for [b]all[/b] involved there has to be give and take by the nature of the grievance procedure. And from a driver's point of view (the only relevant one for those of us on this side of the fence and believe me there is a big fence and sides once you enter this territory) we lose far more than we win, again by the nature of the grievance procedure. You can call that "dealing" or compromise, again just a matter of terminology slant, but grow up and realize this is a business any way you look at it and the financial aspects and how they impact the company, union and driver [b]will[/b] be factors in how it "plays" out. The order of the "players"; company, union, driver was not random either in regards to how significant the financial aspects of each will factor in to the end result. How much input your BA has really depends on your BA and how effectively he has networked into the Teamster organization. [/QUOTE]
