Everytime someone posts from Chicago, it's the same thing. Supervisors working. Rules being broken. Feeder drivers staying home while contractors doing work. All that jazz.
When the Berlin Wall came down, did they put it back around 705's area? It doesn't sound like (705) negotiating its own contract is working !! Don't you realize this by now.
Everywhere around this country, we fight the same "fires" as you do. But for some reason, the Chicago area "burns" so hot you can't take it anymore.
MY SOLUTION
New people must be brought in to fix the problems. A strike and/or contract negotiations will not solve anything.
The issue is the people involved at the higher levels of BOTH organizations. Both parties better take a long hard look at themselves before your arrogance ruins it for everybody else in brown.
AND
For all the part timers who bitch and complain about their jobs and their "existance" in the UPS pyramid.
It's not going to change. Every other full timer in this company had to "sell their souls" to make it up the ladder and EARN the right to be full time. When you work part time at UPS, you either go to college or have another part time job. THAT SIMPLE
In this day and age, YOU WILL NOT AFFORD TO LIVE ON JUST PART TIME MONEY FROM UPS. Guess what, neither did I, so I had another part time job after working here. Get with it. Now I've been full time for 8 years and feel good about those 6 1/2 part time years I've worked through.
Stop whining since you decided to take the national agreement! We decided to fight for things instead hoffa bent over and took it up the butt from ups and you lost a lot of things in your new contract! So stop crying! Remember their is no cry in baseball, wait that isn't it, in UPS!
No Sherlock that you had to fight your way up the ladder at ups. Its how it is in the world! You have to fight for your right to....party wait no that's not the word...get ahead in this world. I been trying to get up on the next step of the ladder for a year now.
