[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 212658, member: 7185"] Once again, I can't say I wouldn't do the same as he did. UPS is my employer, not the IBT. Unfortunately for union workers, he's still covered by the union contract [I]because[/I] he is an hourly employee. As far as I know, there is no way to exempt him from that contract and impose alternative wages, benefits, etc on him. I'd disagree with your last sentence above, Red. I would say instead that it takes a big man to fight his [B][I]own[/I][/B] battles. I really don't like that term: scab. If that's what I'd be labeled, okay. I'm the one that has to look himself in the mirror every morning. My conscience is a little on the overdeveloped side, so I can't say I'd refuse to work if my employer gave a report time. Betrayal is such a harsh word, Red. If that's what you feel I'd do by crossing, also okay. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
