[QUOTE="705red, post: 212830, member: 5229"] Rock under carey it was the first time since the 80's and last time 97 that the part-timer got a starting pay raise. Under carey he created thousands of new fulltime combo jobs that didnt exist before 97. Since then p-timers now can show a prescription card and only pay $5, and now theres been 10,000 new ftime combo jobs, also ftime employees have gone up roughly $10 an hour since 97, and ups gave these to us why? Because we are teamsters and have earned it. Rock you need to get a copy of the contract and read it, you have admitted in the past that you dont use a stewart when your pulled in the office, how can you be sure you were not being singled out for those infractions. The reason i state that is because as a steward its my job to enforce the contract, and not look the other way when i see infractions, if you choose to look the other way thats fine, but when stewards start looking the other way its time to get rid of those stewards. So as a steward i see all the ugly thinkgs that happen behind close doors and i see how ups management will financially ruin someone while just trying to prove a point. Any idea how many wrongful terminations that i have seen to good people because ups didnt like them, then ups will draw it out through the arbitration process causing these guys to loose their homes, cars and even families, so if i have an us against them mentality now you know why, it wasnt on my part, i became this way from dealing with nazi managers. I have thought about resigning as a steward several times because it just eats me up to see this happen, but if i stop fighting for you guys who will fight for you? Or would you like to just keep going on with im only worried about mem and i make my own side deals to benefit me. Sorry for going off a little but being a steward is a thankless job, and one thats hard to let go of when you go home! [/QUOTE]
