[QUOTE="Cole, post: 182943, member: 9507"] Any committe they are on they get paid, and get multiple pensions on top of that. I agree it often is a thankless job, but if you are really going out and representing your members, those that are involved will know it. I just don't think with the politics and corruption in the Teamsters that even good ba's can get alot done. Why wouldn't the Teamsters have a UPSER as Parcel director, if they're serious about us? IMHO because they don't want anyone who has sweat it out in the trucks etc...and really knows the operation. Imho they view us only as the "Golden Goose, that lays the golden eggs" as I have heard multiple officers of the Teamsters refer to us. It sucks that it has to come to this, but we did our part, they did not, so if/when the "Golden Goose" fly's it is on those that chose to have the attitude that we work for them rather than vise versa. It will be a sad day if/when it happens, and no doubt it will likely get very ugly when this thing really heats up, but maybe people will pay much better attention to who they vote for, and build a real corruption free union, where fear and intimidation etc...have no place.
