[QUOTE="Cole, post: 197766, member: 9507"] To be honest I am up and down on this somewhat lately. I guess because I don't trust UPS a great deal, but I also know alot of Teamsters can't be trusted either, particularly those affiliated with CS. I think we could run our own Union, and do quite well for ourselves, and on that note, maybe if that happened, it would make the Teamsters try to organize FedEx with alot more diligence etc...since the APWA charter states UPSers only. If the Machinists can get our mechanics such a good pension why the heck can't the mighty Teamsters get all UPSers the same?! Are the Machinists that much better than the Teamsters, or do they have protections to keep hands out of the cookie jars?! I don't know but it shows it can and should have been done, but for some reason, wasn't, accept to a few, and most top officers. Yes the Teamsters have gotten us descent pay and benefits the latter which are diminishing, but we have done our parts on our end, and they have profited from us too. The very title Teamsters [B]should [/B]mean taking care of your own, but just like UPS turned hard core away from the way Casey wanted people treated, so have some of the Teamsters forgotten who works for who, and too many sweetheart deals are made at our expense everyday, and we just saw a big one in our building, and it goes on all over country. They better get real, real quick, or you know the song..."Don't know what ya got til it's gone"... Of course that doesn't pertain to those who put the [B]"T"[/B] in Teamster, and really give their most honest efforts for the members behalves. Ok I have vented for the evening! Peace [/QUOTE]
