[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1892091, member: 7966"] That was a quote (Note the "...") from the article that was posted by the member I quoted. No offence taken ... just wanted to clarify your remark. Having worked for UPS in both a Union and non-union position, I would choose Union at this point. It worked out great for me in management as I require a job with lots of creativity, innovation,variety and novelty. If I had to do it for money, I could perform the manual labor job of a driver or inside package handler but I would probably go elsewhere prior to get trapped by the wages oat UPS. In management, I saw a lot of our benefits stripped away as "enhancements" with no representation or negotiations. I fully support collective bargaining but union members sell their souls to the Union bosses. This is what I extracted from the article and you referenced: "Prepare for a loud and possibly black swan style backlash as the union retirees and current members start to bail out of any union promoted investment program and demand the independence to vote on right to work laws in those states where the union exploitation has led to the demise of many a retiree’s nest egg at the most crucial and vulnerable part of their lives."
