[QUOTE="10 point, post: 2487700, member: 52520"] Striking nerves doesn't take "ability". ..it takes the willingness to be abrasive. You got the sandpaper award. Wear it proudly. We didn't have power steering when I started as well. That totally changes things by golly. So does the out at 50 issue. Not applicable. Sorry. I wasn't talking about that. 5 locals in the Central had the company plan? That's a good one too. Again, we weren't talking about retirement age. The company "wish list" in augmenting Art 17 should've hit the shredder before it got offered to the membership as a viable option. Just more pork that was going away to look like we were making gains the second time around. Let's see: 50# weight limit back then and 40% less stops (and accordingly less crap jammed into your truck) that was an 8 hr dispatch per day. I'm sure your conditions were much harsher than anyone driving now due to global warming. (You forgot that excuse.) The only redundancy I remember in conjunction to your past posting is how UPSers are "entitled" in their mindset. You are in the minority on that issue...not in your opinion...but in the opinion of the public and many other LTL and TL freight drivers that I talk to. Many said they wouldn't trade me jobs for any kind of money or benefit increase. It's back to respect. You give it. You just may get it back. Help yourself out. [/QUOTE]
