[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 58220"] Trick Unless you are naive, your statement is funny. I would assume you have not seen now the union company panel works. It is a give and take system. The company gives some and the union gives some. And then some go to an arbitrator. Ihave seen cases that were very strong for the employee, cases that would have been a joke had it not been for the threat of termination, sunk because one of the union guys voted with the company, and I have also seen very weak cases where there was no way the driver ever should have gotten their job back, won because of one vote from the company. The only way this could be possible is for behind the scene agreements. You give us this one and we will give you that one. And if it something that the company feels strongly about, like the sickout (anyway you want to paint it, it was still a wildcat strike), they would allow many of the week ones to be won. Or they might pick three of the main players and tell the union, make it look good, and we will allow these 15 back, without pay, but these three are gone. Period. Its a game. And your local BA is mostly on the sidelines when it gets played. Sorry, I value my job too much to allow it to be threatened by a game of chance. UPS can, at its discretion, fire at will. And it will use and abuse the contract in spite of the Teamsters. BUt usually the hourly person makes it easy for them. d [/QUOTE]
