[QUOTE="brazenbrown, post: 281856, member: 9007"] Hey Brownshark, Sounds like I upset you. Let's make things clear; I don't have a problem with the Teamsters per se but more of a problem with [B]some[/B] of its member's mentality and ungrateful displays of entitlement. There are members/employees who abuse the system and take every opportunity to disrupt things causing problems for others who just want to do their jobs and then they need the union to help clean up the mess they made. Perhaps my analogy in using the term leach was a bit harsh my point is that UPS and the Teamsters have a symbiotic relationship (they need each other) such as the shark (no pun intended) and the remora, a small fish who eats the parasites off the shark and keeps the shark clean and healthy. After giving it more thought does UPS really need the union? Look at FedEx, sure they don't make as much but they don't work as hard and they don't make 50% less that we do..FedEx didn't have to bail out a screwed up Central States plan either. Maybe UPSers would be making more money than they do now if UPS didn't have to put up billions to rescue that debacle. Just a thought! Peace. :peaceful: [/QUOTE]
