[QUOTE="CharleyHustle, post: 1299325, member: 26998"] Well yes. But I think "great" is a pipe dream at this point. Objectivity, is something you get slammed for, but here goes. Weather you voted for them or not (and everyone got the chance) they are "our" representatives. They negotiated and endorsed the agreements, and there was overwhelming support for the agreements at the two man and by local level officials. It is undeniably easy to negotiate with yourself. Many people convince themselves of what they want and there can really be no other objection. However, at every negotiation there is someone sitting across the table with their own wants and desires. This is what I would call unrealistic expectations of what a union can actually do for you. Here's an example. If you hate TDU you are an old guard thug, tearing down the union only for your own gain. If you hate Hoffa/Hall, you are a TDU radical out to fracture and destroy the Teamsters. Both arguments are valid and not valid at the same time. Meanwhile, UPS sees you vote down offer after offer that your representatives endorsed. If you think that UPS isn't going to try to "even the score" after all this, well, you need to get out more. [/QUOTE]
