[QUOTE="Bill, post: 194731, member: 5483"] Overnite was Teamsters nationwide, and then they had a strike that lasted over 3 years. The Teamster bosses and BA's still received their salaries while the strike was going on, but unfortunately for the drivers and employees who had a family to support, they didn't receive a paycheck and had no choice but to find other work. After the strike was over, Overnite reorganized with mostly new workers and was now non-union. UPS bought Overnite and it is now UPSF. The Teamsters are trying to organize UPSF for no other reason than to collect union dues for themselves, without concern for the working man. The UPSF employees would be foolish to allow the Teamsters to act as their bargaining agent again. Some of the Overnite drivers are still there, so they remember how the Teamsters screwed them over. Why would they want this to happen again? Would you? Now that I have answered your question, please return the favor and answer one simple question for me. What are the Teamsters offering that we should remain loyal to them? They can't fix the pension problems, they are making cuts to our medical benefits, but they have no problem increasing union dues and taking big salary increases for themselves. [/QUOTE]
