[QUOTE="Benben, post: 1177809, member: 25133"] But it is some information about something. 407, I/we/them/some don't give a flip about the TDU. Its almost like the Democrats and Republicans in DC. They are so busy trying to figure out what the other is doing that they get absolutely nothing accomplished. Now I said I/we/them/some because I don't know who follows the TDU and who doesn't and personally don't care. I have asked around at my building and a very few drivers have said a group of malcontents but the vast majority say, "who?" Its like taking a truck out after the PCM, returning at 7pm and you did not record one stop in the DIAD. Your Sup would question if you did anything all day. You'd tell him, "yeah the truck was full when I left and now its empty, see I did something." How would that fly? We rely on the IBT to collectively bargain for [B]US[/B]. For this service we pay over $30,000 while at UPS. When the IBT does not communicate with any of those that pay their salaries we tend to get a little perturbed. The IBT seems to operate under the grand concept of, "No news is good news." For those of us that try to plan our lives, the lives and the well being of our families no news is scarier than bad news. When we realize that we pay $30K for the priviledge of being ignored we get upset. When we perceive that the only time anyone bothers to make contact with us is when its time to re-elect officers [U]and not[/U] when something that directly affects us as importantly as a contract, being upset becomes outright anger. Make no bones about it, the IBT works for us, we do not work for the IBT! It is crap like this that Right-to-Work state movements gain popularity and that's sad. Just my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
