[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1193748, member: 31414"] Bubblehead, both you and I think alike in this situation with one small difference; I believe that the IBT lawyers are the individuals in control (in bed). My BA and I talked about the situation extensively in order to explain some of the actions and decisions coming from the Teamster leadership in DC. Our suspicions that UPS and the Teamsters (and/or their lawyers) have engaged in mutually beneficial subterfuge ("in bed together"), were heightened by what I term "The Teamster HealthCare Ruse of 2013". Intuitive Teamsters did not like the involved "ruse" that was played out with the healthcare issue. The skullduggery by our leadership simply made us more skeptical of our Union. A simple, honest, and direct approach about the entire healthcare issue would have been a much better way to go than an elaborate "theatrical play" starring JH Jr. and Ken H. While the rah rah healthcare cheerleading movement may have been an adrenaline boost for JH Jr. and Ken H as they traveled across the U.S., it was a time to "pause and question" for many of us long time Teamsters. The dissension amongst the rank and file is a result of "lack of trust" in our leadership. They have done irreparable harm to themselves over the past 8 months. Deceptive communication, no communication, and no or late action on many of the important issues. They relied on "faithful" BA's to "sell" the contract which obviously did not go well with many of the supplements and riders. While most of us here on BC share a common goal of a fair and equitable contract that enables UPS to prosper well into the future, there is clear indication that our current leadership is unable to unify the rank and file in achieving this goal.
