Most of them aren't qualified to work at a carwash, but we pay them $28+/hr and benefits".

Hey superslut it was Jim Casey who invited the teamsters in because he actually cared about how his people would be treated. From what ive read he grew up poor and had to work. (something you obviously dont have to do) Once his company got huge he rememered how he started and where he came from. He brought the Teamsters in to protect us from managers like you! And since my managers seem to be just like you in there way of thinking, I have a question what ends up coming out of an Article 37 grievance!

Before the game started we went for a walk and I found the little park near Pioneer Square that is the birthplace of UPS, where Jim Casey founded the original American Messenger Service back in 1907. It is a pretty neat little waterfall park and on the wall next to it is a sign and a plaque. It is in a historic part of town, about 5 blocks from the stadiums where the Seahawks and the Mariners play.

Thats really cool SoberUPs I would love to go see where it started.

I'll even give you a few more pictures. The first is of the big sign on the brick wall as you approach from the Pioneer Square area. The second is the dedication plaque from 1977. The last one is of the interior of Waterfall park itself. The waterfall makes the park loud, but it's a peaceful place, and I'm proud to say that I work for the company that put it there.
