[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 182940, member: 1664"] Yes I quit the union in 1997 because of the strike. I stood at the picketline face to face with all the drivers and said If anyone can give me a rational argument not to cross the line I would not. They could not. I was not going to cross that line without my shoulders square and in full daylight. Call me a scab or any other name you can think of. I was man enough to face a crowd alone, not knowing what could go down. What happened to UPS employees because of internal teamster conflicts for power was the genesis for the shape of my pension today. I was offered a management position after my first three months fulltime at UPS. I had observed how personel could be moved without regard to their family situation and declined. I have been a just a driver since. Almost, 21 yrs. [/QUOTE]
