[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 427836, member: 484"] really? and what do you call the banking bailout? we have a local bank here. did not get into making the bad loans that made so many bankers rich as hell over the last 20 years. they have been told to take the bail out money. they said, dont need it. feds said, take it or when you do want help, you wont get it. that means no fdic insurance for the bank, that also means no intra day borrowing of funds from the fed, and on and on. so the bank takes the bailout. now the gooberment has its hands on the free flow of cash, and can decide on who needs it more, and who "deserves it". i do believe thommy j had it right. we have given up our freedoms in the name of security, and the ones in charge have created a financial mess that only they can fix? by taking over the banks? give me a break. as far as leveling the playing field with fedex, it is a shame ups has to play footsie with the teamsters to take on fedex. but the lack of innovative leadership at the top has really cost a bundle in lost business. 705 and the rest, how would you explain the throwing of the part time dues paying union worker under the bus so the full time people can get a larger raise? and how would you assure them(fedex) that they would not also be thrown under the bus in contract talks? after all, the teamsters has a track record...... as far as the teamsters salivating at the prospect of being able to use the gooberment to force fedex into allowing the union in, why not. all they want is the power they seek. that is what they want, power for themselves. and if they can get some money for the working stiff, well that is a by product. if the teamsters had to give back 12 bucks an hour on our next contract to stay in power, they would in a heartbeat. as far as the fly eastern, read the book [U]nuts[/U]! d [/QUOTE]
