[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 327228, member: 9789"] 705red, I understand what you are saying. When it comes to any vote, every person has a different reason for voting the way they do. The vote may be complex because the issues are complex. I respect your decision to take a stand and vote for a future employee or protection from erosion of or loss of wages-working conditions-benefits during some future contract. This does not change what I said, if you decide to come work at UPS after a contract has been resolved you make a conscious decision to accept the conditions of the current contract. As you know, when parties don't agree on something they compromise to move forward. If all they do is whine, complain or bicker (both sides) nothing is going to change and in fact will probably get worse or deteriorate. Any contract is a compromise of the two parties. Nobody is going to be happy with every part of the contract and in some cases there will be those that are not happy with any of it. Both sides try to understand what changes are most important for the other side to accept the agreement and work to resolve those differences to provide a satisfactory solution that will be beneficial to both sides. Generally - folks that are unborn don't have a strong bargaining position. There will come a time that the company will have to raise starting wages and provide a more attractive package for new hires but that time will not come until the company sees "the numbers" and can justify the monies allocated. When the time does come, the current employees will sacrifice some future benefit to make it a reality. There is a balance between the cost of a contract and the company's future. If the balance changes the wrong direction and the health of the company deteriorates you will suffer as well. I know you know this and I do admire your ideals to help future employees but at what cost? [/QUOTE]
