[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 212735, member: 7185"] Cole, I don't think I'm hopping the fence with my posts. Its not my intention to do so. I'm trying to stay studiously neutral in this one. I'm waiting for a solid reason to support either side. So far, I'm not getting one from APWA. The Teamsters are just threatening me with bodily harm if I cross their picket lines. As an [B][I][U]employee of UPS[/U][/I][/B], my ultimate loyalty lies with [B][I]that[/I][/B] organization. An officer of that entity signs my paycheck. Can you give me a reason to switch my loyalty to solely the Teamsters OR APWA??????? I have stated I would [I]probably[/I] cross a picket line. I haven't stated I [B]definitely[/B] would. That decision is between me, my conscience and a higher power. If a union or management individual were to ask me that question to my face, I'd ask them to go away. Its none of their business til I make that decision. Not a lot shocks me, Cole. I may be young but I'm not stupid. My education was quite solid all the way. I had a number of [B][I]excellent[/I][/B] history instructors over the years and became a student of history. I also have this insatiable sense of curiousity. If I hear about something--even an obscure fact--I usually research it til I get more of the story. An example: did you know there were [B]Iraqi[/B] troops at Normandy on D-Day?My memory is a little foggy on details off the top of my head. If you want those details, PM me and I'll see if I can find my sources again. Its been four or five years since I did this research and I forget where I heard it in the first place. It might have come from a textbook. As to the current education, Cole...you'd be [B][I]very[/I][/B] hard pressed to find a higher quality [I]graduate-level[/I] education in the Rocky Mountain West. I intend to stick with it. As a result, UPS and I will part company sometime in September. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
