[QUOTE="Griff, post: 846620, member: 7111"] UPS is managing their company outside of the contract because we, as a collective, are allowing it to happen. There is no pushing back from the union as a cohesive unit. Sure you have major city locals: Chicago, New York, LA, Philadelphia, etc that more than likely do 98% of the pushing back. The problem with the Teamsters union is their fundamental strategy flaw of being reactive instead of proactive. It is a poorly managed union by all common knowledge and definition. We need new (better) leadership at the top of the International and you would see a transformation in the way UPS operates their business. The union in its current form is essentially a good old boys club (exactly like corporate/upper mgmt at UPS) and they do not care that you are being harassed and intimidated daily as long as they get their slice of the big brown pie. Hoffa and company are just in cruise control, not wanting to rock the boat -- i'd bring a tsunami. Does anyone here honestly believe UPS would treat its employees like they are treating them in 2011 back in 1957 under Hoffa Sr's control? Yeah, right...
