[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 254840, member: 1664"] If I decide to cross the line in the future, it will be based on the facts of the day. Just as it was in 97'. Not being a member of the teamsters will have no bearing on my respecting the picket line. If in my view the cause is just, I will not cross. Yes, I know the history of the teamsters, all to well. If you want to take the start unionism back farther, you will know it was a Socialistic/Communistic effort fostered by DuBois. I quit the union and crossed the line in 97' because of the present, not past, corruption and manipulations behind the scenes in the teamsters.(as I have posted Ad Nauseum) You asked of me, "Why work for UPS?". The simple answer is because I applied for the job and wanted it and have kept for 21 yrs When I was hired at UPS as a temporary seasonal hire in 86' I had no idea it was a union job. UPS told me if I did the job the way they wanted it done they would pay me. COOL Now to the morals question. All the corruption and violence you speak about was brought about by the union. Never have I been lied to by UPS. I was lied to by the teamsters. UPS has always met their financial promises to me. The teamsters have not. My convictions are strong enough to be loyal to the ones that have been truthful and loyal to me. Never have I intentionally sent out a message, subliminal or not, that I have a higher moral standard than anyone else. I guess I am just a person that was raised with a 1950's mentality. Different mindset than what I see around me today. I will just let the rest of you argue, fuss and fight with UPS about how valuable you are to the company and I will continue to try and prove my worth to them. PAX [/QUOTE]
