[QUOTE="Dustyroads, post: 575224, member: 22610"] I worked for three years for a non-union small package delivery company before being hired by UPS 30 years ago. There is no comparison. Not only do the workers need the union, but management (UPS) needs the Teamsters as well. The Teamsters national contract ensures the company uninterrupted service throughout the country, it gives both parties a very defined written agreement as to both parties' responsibilities, obligations and compensation. Do you know of any non-union company that has as good of health insurance plan as UPS workers do? Do you know of any non-union trucking firm that pays any of their drivers what UPS drivers make? Tie, it amuses me when you say that you wouldn't be discharging so many people if you really knew that they would be discharged. I think that's a poor management philosophy. In most cases it relegates management's authority to a position of the paper tiger. Simply you disempower management by entering into battles that you secretly intend to lose. And, you lose respect of your workers. [/QUOTE]
