[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1181578, member: 198"] I was hired shortly after the strike but I've heard plenty of stories. The few that crossed the picket line here were union members. Others withdrew from the union because they were mad about the strike but didn't cross. Most have rejoined since then. They are the same bunch that only follow the parts of the contract that benefit them and ignore the rest of it. Just because they think they can. They have the attitude that 2.5 hours/month for dues+high seniority= pass to do anything. They are also the same ones that bitch and whine about UPS "stealing our time" (time study), yet, like I mentioned before, are the same ones that run, skip their lunches, cut corners, etc. etc.. They are also the one's that fall into the category of the stereotypical union worker. You know....calls in once a week. Has been deservingly fired multiple times but still at UPS. Only works when they feel like it. They lay down on the job when they don't get exactly what they want. Its the classic "It my world and the rest of you are just in it" mentality. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if those guys tried to bully the non members into joining they'd really get laughed at. No one really respects them. I'm not saying it's like this in every center but I have to ask.....who is most people going to accept advice about joining a union from? A dirtbag employee that pays dues or an approachable, respectful employee that does their job right and pays dues? I was convinced by the latter. [/QUOTE]
