[QUOTE="Tony Bordoli, post: 375667, member: 16486"] If I may, I'll comment personally. I am not a "subcontractor engineer". I was hired by UPS on 6.15.98 as a software-engineer/automation-specialist in the function of Finance & Accounting. My resignation this past Thursday was part to do with the DHL/UPS picket and part to do with an anti-worker project that I had been working on for the past four months. The program had nothing to do with saving UPS employees. It had everything to do with cutting them back as far back to the union conference contracts as possible ("Leave NOTHING on the table"). Having worked with the teamsters in the southern and atlantic conferences back in 2000-2004, I know something about the ethical decision that I made on Thursday. My project, now derailed due to my resignation, would have negatively impacted union workers throughout the nation....period...full-stop. I made a personal decision...an ethical decision....to no longer drink at the 'Brown Koolaid' water station. But Benefits Are Great, Keep your day job. You make a lousy reporter! [/QUOTE]
