[QUOTE="steeltoe, post: 961049, member: 9491"] They as people are not different. I think the problem that some of us have is that fact that the decision maker concerning contract negotiations is an elected official. Do you not believe that we would have even better contracts if we negotiated with an elected official that we supported into the elected position? If the Teamsters negotiated with an elected official that we gave money to, how long do you think UPS would be in business? it is a very simple concept. The elected official is always going to go with who brought him to the dance. Yes, there is a small risk in losing the next election by over paying the public sector, but once the majority are on the meal wagon, they will continue to re-elect the same officials, until they are done wrong by that official. The bottom line is that there is no way UPS could stay in business if we the workers voted in the decision makers when it comes to contracts. [/QUOTE]
