[QUOTE="BigUnionGuy, post: 2293718, member: 4992"] Running the IBT isn't cheap. Prior to the "Blue Ribbon Commission" approving the increase, the IBT was still functioning on a formula that had existed from the 50's and 60's ?? It wasn't financially viable, to continue that way. I've harped on this before.... But, how many members [I][U]even bother[/U][/I] to go to their Locals "contract proposal" meeting ?? (And people wonder why, some elected officials get jaded) The IBT solicit's the members opinion for a reason. For the most part, that's what they take to the table during negotiations. I just don't understand the mentality of "UPS is making record profits" and [I][U]we[/U][/I] deserve a bigger slice of the pie. Don't you want them to be profitable ? What would be an acceptable % ? As an aside; The "rallying cry" in freight (YRC, not UPS freight) was "Shut them down.... I was looking for a job when I came here". Just say'n. -Bug- [/QUOTE]
