[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 3694472, member: 63706"] After going around in circles with a certain big tuna from the south west, I have come up with another angle that gives the IBT the benefit of the doubt, particularly on the 22.4 job. It seems that some regions have let their members down by allowing ground drivers to deliver ground packages at 10 dollars an hour less than other ground drivers (not counting progression, of course). Since those regions have been unable to fix their mistake, the IBT has graciously decided to make it everyone's problem. On the surface this appears to be a terrible idea, but it's part of a master plan to bail out these regions that don't have the clout to fix the problems they created. The 22.4, though a huge step backwards for the rest of the country, is a modest improvement for those regions that screwed up. With the entire country in the same sinking ship, they can get everyone working together to fix the problem the next contract. Now, of course, the IBT can't let on that this is their plan. For it to have a hope of working, they have to keep it quiet, and let UPS think they've won with this contract. Sometimes you have to take a strategic loss to put yourself in a better position to win the next battle. Of course there will be casualties, but that's all part of the process and can't be helped. Something to think about. [/QUOTE]
