[QUOTE="ogrelord, post: 366606, member: 5226"] i think i do understand. the national teamsters have no power, they tell you that them selves. each local does it's own thing. to try and lump us all together is unfair. we have the western, southern,CS,NE and all the other riders and supplementals that go along with it. UPS would never want us to be 1 big group, since we're broke up into are little groups, ups can nit pick the contracts and get a feel for what they take away from each group, and what they have to give to each group to make them happy. what ups does is sit down at the table and says "OK we have a cake for the teamsters. NE is a diabetic so they don't want to much frosting. so they take the frosting away,but they add more cake. well the southerns like sweets, so they get the frosting, but loose allittle of the cake to make up for NE and there extra frosting. i think the only down side on UPS's part was they put the contract into effect on Jan ST. now the 705, and 710 see the loops hole and want to close them. But to answer your question. teamsters are not 1 big unit, each local handles they're members. so it's never local against local. If people are mad about there contract, the only ones they can be mad at is their local members and thier BA. [/QUOTE]
