[QUOTE="Bill, post: 150692, member: 5483"] I understand that some states are right-to-work states and others are not. If you are in a right-to-work state, I suggest that you withdraw from the Teamsters and send them a message that you are mad and will not take this anymore. If you are in a state that requires you to be a member of the union, you still have a choice. Although you have to be in the union, it doesn't say which union. The Teamsters are a sinking ship. They are going to keep cutting your pension and medical benefits. The APWA is trying to start a union for UPS people only. The UPS pilots were Teamsters, but recently astarted their own union (IPA). They received a big pay increase as well as a pension increase (not a pension cut that the Teamsters are forcing on us). If you have any questions after reading this, you can contact them. Finally, UPS does have a contract with the Teamsters. The Teamsters violated this contract in several ways. The pension fund is seriously underfunded, so the Teamsters decided to divert the UPS money that was supposed to go toward Health and welfare benefits into the pension fund. You will now be paying more for medical benefits and receiving less coverage. the Teamsters can be replaced with another union. Call the NLRB (national labor relations board). They will verify this information. You can vote to decertify one union and replace it with another. [/QUOTE]
