[QUOTE="Guy Smiley, post: 774564, member: 28379"] Yet, 22.3's are good enough to pay full-time dues. This of course is a greater payout to the union from their salary than a full-time driver. And what full-time driver is going to be physically able to hump packages when they are 60? The 22.3's seem like a good transition into retirement. But I think the union and ups don't want us to make retirement. Our useless local is already saying 22.3's can't bump to full-time positions. The national and the locals are not interested in any part of the contract. It's pretty evident in their disdain for not only the 22.3's but the 9.5 language and all the language they bury. I'm convinced the contract is a tool the union uses to keep the masses happy and bogged down. At what point do they stand up for the future of the working class instead of lining the pockets with our dues money? I'm convinced that there is no future for the teamsters at UPS, especially as the workforce is more educated than ever before. Furthermore, the union was something that was needed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but since they have no advanced the cause of the working class to that of Europe and never will I would gladly let UPS rather than the union be in control of my pension.
