[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 459243, member: 4886"] Red, let's face it we are all to some extent a bit prejudiced (for lack of a better word) and will take sides be it union or mgmt. That's normal. Again with no knowledge of this story, besides what you wrote down. The moral i take away if I were a teamster, would be don't throw a boatload of rocks if there's a chance part of your house is glass. Are there some mgmt who do the wrong thing and violate the contract? Yeah. Are there some hourlies who do the wrong thing and don't do a fair days pay? Yeah. Let's face it, the hourly has more to lose in most cases then the company. If I were a driver and decided to become a steward, I'd make damn well sure that there would be nothing on me. Everything by the book. A lot of this kind of reminds me of the news story tonight over in the Middle East with Israel and the Gaza strip and the Hamas (sp?) Is either side 100% right or 100% wrong. I don't think so, (I'm no foreign expert). But All I see from a distance, is both sides are beating on the other and what you end up with is carnage, death. That may be a bad analogy since I don't think the UPS \ Teaster is like the current Middle east, I'm just pointing out that fighting isn't always the best answer and coming to understandiing where each side feels like they win, gives us both sides who are happy and with mutual respect. A lot easier said then done. But I wonder if this person had it all to do over again, knowing what he knows now. I'm willing to bet he'd probably still be a steward and probably still have filed grievances. But I'm also willing to be, he'd have filed less. But just a guesss. [/QUOTE]
