If you had to choose between the two, which do you want in the 13' contract?
Better pay
Or stronger language for the Brotherhood?

Better pay.... The language for the most part is fine just needs to be enforced. As long as our fellow MEsters continue to bend over and not file and as long as when things are filed on our union leaders are making side deals to throw out said grievance all the language in the world won't help us.
Both
You want stronger language? I happen to think that you are a ******* *******.
Oh, you meant contract language--my bad.
Better pay.
I'd love to have both, but push comes to shove I took this job for the money not the contract language.

100% agree. You can always mince words and make something written look like something different. When it comes to pay, there's no mistaking what's owed to who and when.Pay is measurable and tangible.
These intangible terms and conditions are hard to enforce ... stronger language means little.
The one thing that gets business's attention is money.
That's why nothing else is negotiated until the financial package is settled.
The above is not specific to UPS but to all companies with union workforces.
