[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 875641, member: 17969"] Unfortunately, there are probably a handfull of people who "think" they are tea pary members, and thats unfortunate for the teamsters, but Brother Hoffas words were right on the money. We are at political war with a political party that would love to end all unions in every state. Something those "select" tea party people dont understand. Why do you think FOXED SPEWS spends so much airtime devoted to trashing unions everyday? On both their cable news channel and their new business channel, its a union bash everyday. The theme is identical. Trash big labor. You think they like the high wages union jobs provide? You think they like the benefits that are negotiated? You think they like the vacation time negotiated? The answer is NO. The reason is simple. Corporate America pays them to trash us. If "WE" get these benefits then other people are going to want the same, and that isnt in the cards for corporate america. At UPS we set the standard for wages and benefits, but others, like FEDEX and smaller carriers lag behind in wages and benefits. At UPS we have 20, 30 & 40 year employees, the other carriers do not and turnover their employees at an alarming rate. There is a big difference between Union jobs and private sector non union jobs and its called JOB SECURITY. This is our fight. For every person who believes that we could do away with Teamster representation and still have job security, then I say you are out of your mind. I dont really believe that tea party people know why they think they are tea party people. I believe they believe its fun to be part of a group that has some popularity. Its a good scam, has nothing to do with the constitution or the founding fathers, as the founding fathers would have nothing to do with tea party people. Its all in how its sold to those people who want to believe they are standing up for something, even though its against themselves. I dont get it, but whatever. Peace. [/QUOTE]
