[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1121997, member: 31414"] The comments and debates on BrownCafe are representative of the divisiveness that our Union currently has across the country. A good leader IMHO should be one that is able unite the rank and file and "rally the troops" in a manner that provides a feeling of confidence, leadership, and most of all......TRUST. IMHO, hall is having a difficult time in his leadership role at this time. While I believe "brown outs" have their place in negotiations, they can also lead to a divided Union. Lack of information leads to speculation. It also gives the opportunity for critics such as TDU to gain strength by at least appearing to provide information that the IBT won't. Why can't we simply go to our Teamster website for updated information? Checking the most current information, I have found that the IBT completely deleted the March 28th letter. For example: [url=http://www.teamster.org/content/ups-ups-freight-negotiations-updates-march-28]UPS, UPS Freight Negotiations Updates For March 28 | International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT)[/url] [ATTACH]8932.vB[/ATTACH]and whatever happened to : [ATTACH]8933.vB[/ATTACH] [B][U]The following link[/U][/B] [url=http://www.logisticsmgmt.com/article/ups_teamsters_far_apart_as_contentious_labor_talks_continue]UPS, Teamsters “far apart” as contentious labor talks continue - Article from Logistics Management[/url] is an interesting article NOT written by TDU.
