[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 147617, member: 1664"] pusillanimous out of the union? I stood at the picket line in 1997 and asked every person there to give me a rational reason not to go back to work. Face to face. No one had a answer that could explain how we could turn down a profit sharing check every other year (the first one being $3,500) and 25 yrs and out at any, age plus lifetime fully paid medical for your entire family. The union won that contract by getting us all a 50 cent a year raise and losing the profit checks,pension and medical benefits. By the way,UPS offered the same 50 cent per raise per year in their offer. "We'll drop your wage by $5 dollars an hour" comment does not fit the "REAMSTERS" mentality, since they base dues on the hourly wage. Respect is earned, not given. The "REAMSTER'S" lost any respect they were due in 97'. That is when I quit "giving" my dues to them and started investing that money to make up the shortfall that I could see coming and sadly that shortfall has come to pass. When you keep getting screwed by the "REAMSTERS" and are still willing to be their cheerleader. That justs begs the question of," Who is the pusillanimous now?" [/QUOTE]
