[QUOTE="gandydancer, post: 181682, member: 9310"] Last I saw, the monthly meetings were during my first shift. I've been in Local 278 since '89, so I know the BAs, but I've paid the fine in cash rather than sleep for the annual "picket duty" assessment every year except...twice? In turn, the local keeps a low profile: no website, no business by email... BAs always seem to be out of town. The general impression is that they want to keep the barrier to reaching them high enough to keep the interruptions and demands to a level tolerable by them. May be somewhat justified. My impression the Bookter has or used to have a lot to do at the National level (3rd level capo: Hoffa-Mack-Bookter...) but I don't think Busch has that excuse... Anyway, before I worry about organizing UPS Freight I'd like to have a little more confidence about the job the union is doing for ME. The union is an absolute necessity for dealing with UPS, but I don't have all that much enthusiasm to communicate about the job they're doing, right now. Maybe I'll gain that as I find more about what's going on. [/QUOTE]
