[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 709159, member: 14176"] Here we go again. Woe is me, I didn't see the oppression coming. Nor am I willing to do anything, aside from writing a scorching internet essay, to change my circumstances. Didn't see anything in there about failed 9.5 grievances. Nothing about how they chose this profession, despite their Masters degree in engineering. I'm mean... really, what percentage of the work force truly works from 9 to 5 and makes the money we do. It's not that I don't relate with the author of this post. My problem is more with culture of our present day work place. You want to know what the problem really is? I'll tell you. We, the UPS Teamsters that I know, have forgotten what it means to be a union. I'm not just talking about the leadership on the local and national level. I'm talking about all of us front line whiners. We all bitch and moan as individuals, but rarely do we flex our collective will or convictions. That is were our power to change things exists. Until we all get our heads out of our own backsides, and see things for the greater good, rather than own personal preferences, we will continue to get our asses handed to us. This essay tugs at your heart strings and induces self pity. It outlines all of the symptoms, addresses none of the root causes, nor does it suggest how cure the problems. You want your life back, join with others that feel as you do and take it back. Until then, we'll continue to get more of the same. [/QUOTE]
