[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1066474, member: 12570"] Which part? Our contract is a national one and covers those in RTW states and states with closed shops, such as New York. I never said that I would withdraw from the union if NY became the next RTW state--I appreciate all that they do and would not feel right taking advantage of the union benefits without paying my fair share. Look at the RTW states in the South and the economic revitalization they are experiencing as a result. Auto and aerospace companies, just to name a few, have either added or moved their entire operations to these states. This is a smart move on their part and a win for the communities they choose to move to. You will see a two-tiered FT driver wage in either the 2013 or 2018 contract. You will also either see UPSers paying for a portion of their healthcare of sacrificing raises in lieu of doing so. The economic reality is that competition from Ground will force the company and union to rethink their current positions and future UPSers will work for a far different company than the one that we know today. I would love to see NY go RTW. [/QUOTE]
