[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1093923, member: 9789"] For those who don't know me: I humbly think it is worth disclosing that I am a retired management person (2007) and was a UPS Teamster for 7 years and worked at UPS for almost 36 years. I DO NOT believe it is us against them. I believe in mutual respect. I fully and unconditionally support the contract. I do not believe in management doing non-management work. I believe in shop stewards. One of my hub sorts did not have any. I asked the BA for 3 and would meet with them weekly. I asked the stewards to help me police my 36 supervisors to help ensure the contract was not abused. I do not believe in calling non-management "hourly" or "bodies" - It is extremely denigrating. I believe in taking breaks and lunches. It makes you more effective and helps you to work safely. I believe in making employees successful - not firing them. I would rip a grievance up, if you did not come to me first to get the problem fixed. I believe in a fair time study for the employee, not one that is skewed in the company's favor. I managed 7 centers - industrial - residential - rural and satellites. I managed 3 major hub operations, preload and local sorts and air hubs and was responsible coordinating all compliance regulations for the district with an emphasis on our 2nd busiest regional airport behind Louisville. I was a manager in every department except automotive as well as being on the senior staff and one of the very first Quality Managers in the country back in the early '90s. [/QUOTE]
