[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 224984, member: 7185"] I bash when its appropriate, Red. I'm a pretty reasonable individual. Why don't [I]you[/I] convince [B]me--[/B]unequivocally--that the Teamsters are the better choice. I'm asking APWA the same questions you are. Am I making it too easy for them somehow??? They've started demonstrating some credibility, which is what [B][I]all[/I][/B] of us wanted, isn't it? This radio show out of Cincinnati is a start. When it gets to Danny Eason and Co. on Fox or CNN, I'll be much more intrigued. I don't hate the Teamsters, Red. I'm annoyed with them, partly for reasons explained above. Do you want [I]other[/I] reasons for my annoyance? I'm [B][I][U]not[/U][/I][/B] friend'ing fighting that battle with management!!!!! "Supervisor working" grievances just p*ss them off, which I don't need. Staying under the radar is where I'm most comfortable. That's not to say management can do whatever the :censored: they want to me. They know that if I think I'm right, I'll make a fuss. And if I [I]know[/I] I'm right, I'm gonna fight like its going outta style:cool:. Let me know if you want an example, Red. Great! Its not hard to understand, Red. We just have different approaches. As to being disciplined by management...nope, never had a write-up issued here in Denver. Last--and only--one was at my Illinois hub. I didn't have a problem with the discipline and still don't. I didn't refuse to tell the truth about a supervisor working, Red. I told the steward that if asked, I'd confirm seeing the supervisor working. My problem was with him putting my name on the grievance sheet. Once again, "on the radar." I don't need any more problems, Red. My personal life and school are enough, trust me! I have [I]enough [/I]stress in my life, I don't need to be watching my back at work. UPS has been [I]very[/I] good to me. I'm not going to start a fight without a [I]very[/I] good reason. And ya know something? The fights [I]I've[/I] started, I've [I]won[/I] AND didn't involve the union. UPS's internal mechanism has sufficed. Most of the problems I've had are internal/operational, anyway. UPS handles those problems better itself IMHO. As to being leery of me...that's your call. I'm an honest, hardworking individual.
