[QUOTE="Cezanne, post: 303373, member: 5104"] It is not about a company or teamster issue, it is a overall feeling of lack of loyality and concern for it's employees and members from both parties. Face it most of us long term employees who are on the ground level are basically sensing a sense of hopelessness, the continued slow degrading of employee benefits (pension and health and welfare) and any monetary advancement. Everybody I know of is just trying to survive enough physically and mentally to reach the minium retirement requirement in whatever plan they are in and get the hades out of here. Stupid talk about "teamster babies" and "greedy managers" just shows just how much people classification hatemongering goes around from both sides. It is a sickness that really needs to be addressed, anybody who has stepped into that cesspool knows just how much it effects our workplace. The real issue with concern for the future is the greed and "me first" attitude that apparently is running amuck with our company and union. We have second and third class teamster members in our mists, those who are not welcome down at the union halls because they don't talk the talk and therefore considered inferior and do not deserve any of the piece of the pie. Not being "union free" and therefore a teamster I can only comment on observation about our company co-workers. I see ground level, hardworking sups and managers working 10 to 12 hours a day scared out of their wits of making a mistake that will cause belittlement from their superiors. Good people for the most part that are just following unforgiving orders. One problem that I have seen is from the upper management elitist attitude toward the lower classes, that two tier system of the "haves" and "have nots" and the gap is getting wider. Off my soapbox now...:peaceful:...love these new smile icons [/QUOTE]
