[QUOTE="soberups, post: 540592, member: 14668"] The Teamsters already "won" your business when you made a [I]choice[/I] to accept a job for which they had negotiated a labor agreement. You voted with your feet, and you are free to change that vote at any time. Our contract isnt perfect. Our union isnt perfect. Very few things in life are perfect....but consider the alternatives. I am a shop steward, and I attend the union meetings. When I am not happy with something, I excercise my right as a dues-paying member to speak out about it. I also excercised my right as a dues-paying member to vote "no" on the last contract offer. But, since the majority who voted on the offer did not agree with me, the offer was accepted. Thats life. At least when I complain, I can say that I am involved and trying to do something about the problem instead of just pointing fingers and whining. [/QUOTE]
