[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 55492"] fe, that just goes to show you haven't been here long or don't read thoroughly. If you read into my statements that I believe UPS is an evil empire it's just the slant you are reading into it because you cannot accept any critism regarding the company. No one here recognizes the business brilliance and competency of UPS more than I. The statement "UPS is a very knowledgable and ruthlessly efficient corporate machine" is not a condemnation, but a recognition of the facts. Don't expect charity from the company. That doesn't make them evil, but it also doesn't make them benevolent or your "friend" as they state over and over whenever they are not attempting to discipline you. They are simply your employer. As far as pensions and benefits, those we have were negotiated for us by our union. Neither UPS, nor all the non-union companies give them to us "out of the goodness of their hearts". UPS does so out of negotiations and considerations of the best way to obtain and retain a good workforce. Non-union companies have had to "copy" to lesser extents "like" benefits to compete for employees. Tommy, sloppy language on my part, I wasn't meaning you in particular. [B]What I have read on the APWA website I agree with and is the way a union SHOULD be.[/B] This should be interesting. I sincerely wish the organization luck. I will be watching developments closely and would love to be convinced this is real so I could [I]stand with you.[/I] (Message edited by ok2bclever on February 20, 2005) [/QUOTE]
