[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1297327, member: 14176"] It really gets old listening to the same rhetoric from you. If there is a contrary thought pattern to what you spew from your soapbox, it's dismissed as politically motivated, or the "Boogieman" TDU is behind it. The employees of the Worldport in Local 89 are not happy with their supplement, and it isn't because they are co-conspirators with Fred Z to be the next IBT General President. They didn't show up in record numbers to vote down the first offer by more than 89% to satisfy anybodies political aspirations. The only thing Local 89 is guilty of is representing the interests of their members. Worldport employees routinely spent as much as 2 uncompensated hours to get to and from their respective work areas, an issue that was obviously not addressed to their satisfaction in the first offer. There are several other issues they are looking to have addressed as well, while they have what may be a once in a lifetime opportunity. Conceivably, they will never be in a position with the leverage they have at the moment. I know all of this not by reading the ramblings of internet trolls. I know this because I took the time and initiative to actually go Louisville and meet with several officials from Local 89, as well as spend a day with them handbilling and talking to the affected employees of UPS Worldport. In my opinion, this is how the process is supposed to work and if that makes me a heretic or "TDU", then it will be a monicker I wear proudly having earned it first hand. [/QUOTE]
