[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 1009801, member: 29972"] Young people and their attitudes!!! Its all you hear from them nowadays. Attitudes and excuses. But to answer the subject line of this thread "Does profit mean a sense of entitlement?". Yes and no- If UPS Corporate were to see a way to squeeze a few extra dollars out of something, you can bet your arse they would take full advantage of it. So if we union members see a way to squeeze some extra dollars into our paychecks, why shouldn't we follow UPS's example and take advantage of it. Big profits suggest there is more money we could be negotiating for. The day UPS stops trying to squeeze every last penny out of me through production and gives me a reasonable work load and hours, is the day I'll stop trying to squeeze every last penny out of UPS. Its an endless cycle, the more they squeeze, the more we squeeze back. But in no way does a large profit margin justify this kid working purposely slow. Either nut up and do the job you were hired to do, or get out. [/QUOTE]
