[QUOTE="705red, post: 369552, member: 5229"] Well its time to let the cat out of the bag. Pat Flynn the sec/treas of local 710 attended 705's negotiations last week and today Steve Pocztowski the sec/treas of local 705 attended 710s. These two unions have been working hand in hand this whole time to deliver the members of these two locals a good strong contract that they deserve. The company now knows for a fact that what affects 705 affects 710 and vise versa, we will stand together. This is a great sign of solidarity and as of this moment i could not be prouder. Ups in chicago instead of attending yesterdays negotiations as was planned, has informed all of management to order their browns and make sure they get dot certified. I dont believe that the uniform company is into making tent size uniforms for some of our management that have not seen the inside of an operation for some time.
