[QUOTE="HardknocksUPSer, post: 2082856, member: 56089"] RTW isn't busting unions. I disagree with RTW and think that you should join a union, as a kid coming up through public school I was taught that unions made America weak and that their not needed. The Public education systems are run by the government folks, the government wants us to believe that unions are not needed so they try to plant this into the brains of innocent children through public education. As I got older and got out into the real world and started working at UPS I began to understand the importance of a union and how valuable they are to American workers and the men and women that are not being devalued by the majority of work place bosses due to their age and inability to work like they used to. A union is in place and designed not only to advance it's members in their career but also to protect the old generation. With unions we make higher wages, have Job security, health insurance, weekends off, paid vacations, and many many more great things. Growing up in the south I never would have believed how believed how beneficial a union could be. Thanks to a union I'm making a higher wage than my parents, have health insurance I didn't have growing up, and have job security that many folks in my area don't have. Bottom line is unions are still relevant, their still needed and they still provide the best working conditions for laboring Americans. Be thankful for Teamsters and continue to support your locals and go to meetings, be a active member and don't worry about the target you may get on your back by standing up for the contract.
