[QUOTE="Cezanne, post: 178933, member: 5104"] If there is a buyout coming similar to the mid-nineties one it is only going to be for management. The rest of us union employees would have to rely on the next negotiated contract with the teamsters for any resolution to working till we drop. Truth be told, I have seen too many fellow employees eliminated from any pension benefits because of their physical condition, whether on the job or off. Just the nature of the job will grind your spine to dust in the long haul, let alone the natural aches and pains of aging. Lets see how standards are set with busted up, old 50+ and angry package car drivers. The prospect of getting hurt enought to be eliminated from your job description is always a possibility, then what? Not to be bitter about it but face it most management went into their positions when they realized the folly of keeping up the physical demands required from most of the union jobs. What has happened over the years that most of them were provided most of the gravy as far as perks, benefits and promotions while the union counterparts, just as capable and some probadly more were given the table scraps. I would not trade the situation of not being unionized, but the fiasco of seeing the political and corruption backbiting with dealing with the union currently has not helped. Seems that the number one priority with our union is to keep the status quo instead of doing their work of providing equal pay and benefits to ALL it's members, not just the selected few. God, am I tired of being lied to by both sides. Try to be accountable and admit mistakes and correct them no matter how it hurts, no all I see is slick willy stuff of passing the buck and blame. Guess we will find out with the end of this month if these early negotiations were business as usual.
