[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1151647, member: 17969"] In the last three election cycles, Idiots have attempted to run against our current encumbents. ALL of them failed as the membership really didnt have enough motivation to remove them. NOW, we are ALL affected equally here in the west and a legitimate reason is upon us. Now, the members have a clear decision to make. They have now seen two contracts with concessions in it. In this one, the largest concession in history is upon us in healthcare. Why would we stick around for a third contract with the same representation? Local 396 is O for 2 in contracts. We have to be really clear on something. UPS has gone after the part timers in the last two contracts. Today, they are looking at progression taking 4 years and that will only increase the turnover rate of our part timers. If they quit, then, they dont contribute to the pension, if they dont contribute to the pension, then down the road, the pension fund shrinks. Secondly, they have successfully taken away our superior healthcare plans ( if passed ) and what will be next in the next contract? Well, that answer is simple. WAGES. Two out of three issues out of the way for the company and the only thing left is to attack our wages in 2018 including pensions. Stay tuned. This time, "We" the members cant afford another term with the same representation. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
