[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 670958, member: 484"] I would suggest that there is an issue of not being in the union, and running for ba, no matter how qualified you think he might be. in my opinion 1 be a dues paying union member [B]at[/B] ups for at least 5 years. experience elsewhere is nice, but ups has its unique issues 2 have been a shop steward for at least 3 years 3 display a very good working knowledge of the contract 4 have the people skills to not only handle the job, but to excel at it 5 have a deep desire to represent those people that come to him for help, not just the innocent ones, but the guilty as well, and to represent each one on their own merits. 6 a person that is not swayed by politics, but puts the members of his union above personal gain, both at the company and at the union. he will serve every employee equally, regardless of his personal feelings in the case. 7 that he is financially responsible with the locals finances 8 and most importantly, he would need to show that he is trustworthy beyond reproach. I would begin with the above 8. there are also others i am sure, and others will add them as well. but these are a good starting point. remember, there are too many ba's that end up going into management. and without fail, 100% of those that I have seen have become the worst nightmare sups i have ever worked under. you would really have to search hard to find bigger liars, cheats, dishonest bastards at ups. all they seem to want to do is make a name for themselves at the expense of their former "employers". just my experience d [/QUOTE]
