[QUOTE="Bloodybrown, post: 374578, member: 12349"] Red, you deadlock most cases and when you know you got a loser you wait until the last minute and drop the case. that's why your local only spent a mere $60,000 of the employees union dues. The poor employee you leave in limbo has a false hope and than when you drop the case cause you know its a loser you leave the employee out to dry!! You don't represent the members when you give them false hope, but you save the $10,000. You never answered the question as to why you don't follow the grievance process like the rest of the locals?....You know, local level hearings, state panel, Joint area council and than the National? The JAC actually meets in Chicago don't they?, but you guys are to good to be part of that process, right?? You would rather have the company or the union pay some arbitrater $10,000 for every case that goes in front of them. 200 cases !!....200 x $10,000 = $2,000,000, Red don't you think that's crazy?....Why should all that money be wasted by both sides when there is an excellent alternative in place and available for your local to use??, but local 705 is to good to be part of the process currently in place. I'm not telling you to accept the company's 1st offer, but like I said if you ask for what the rest of the UPS'ers got , the company would settle but you know, you guys want more. You talk about Part-time medical, I belive the new plan gives them a medical crd so they don't have to pre-pay and submit bills later correct? I think that's great and so do the part-timers in my area ( no up front out of pocket expense ) and you said that a part-time employee can work less than a year and get into a driving position in Chicago!!...that is a huge incentive to work at UPS!....You ask me not to forget where I came from. I don't....I love the people, customers and UPS.....when I was a part timer it took 5 to 7 years to get a driving position, now its less than a year, pretty good deal. The leadership in local 705 don't care about our customers, UPS or it's members, they want the old glory to say they went on strike!!!....It's just plain wrong Red. [/QUOTE]
