[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 765362, member: 9789"] I don't disagree with that the last part of your statement. However I do take umbrage with "I know I am right". This is exactly why we have a problem in Washington. Everyone thinks they are right and all they are doing is fighting. As I said in another post in another thread, the party in charge has to reach out to the minority party and make it work. When the electorate says that they want something one way and the party in charge tells them we know we are right and we are going to ram this down your throat then nothing gets done. Put it in another context.... How do you feel when your boss tells you it is my way or the highway and threatens your job? Does that really make you want to work for him/her? Because you now feel belittled aren't you more likely to sabotage him/her if you get a chance? How does that help you or the boss. Isn't UPS and the customer likely to be the one to lose? How about contract negotiations? If the company or union stalemates ... everyone loses. It is better to find common ground and hammer a solution out. It may not be totally acceptable but that is called "splitting the baby". This is no different. We need to come together to find common ground that we can work with. If either side is inflexible to start with and can't agree what the common ground is nothing happens. One side continues to pull away and the other side rams through their agenda. Then the pendulum swings the other way and the other party takes control. Sad Sad Sad! [/QUOTE]
