[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1095884, member: 32753"] [I][/I] Where in the contract are we [I]required[/I] to ask for help on our over 70's? Even better, [I]quote[/I], i.e. "copy and paste" where it says a driver is [I]required[/I] to take a lunch, another popular of contention amongst union members. There are requirements in the contract, and then there are [I]rights[/I]. We are not [I]required[/I] to ask for help with over 70's, but we do have the [I]right[/I] to do so. One is not obligated to excercise all of one's right, and there are many different reasons for one to decide not to, and given that you probably aren't privvy to those reasons, it is inappropriate to look down on or even despise those who exercise a different point of view than you. This, the unwillingness to see things from another's POV, that causes dissension within the ranks, rather than members excercusing all rights afforded them. As for letting UPS 'abuse' us, remember this: 'If you enjoy what you do, you'll never "work" a day in your life.' Many, if not most of us enjoy what we do, and take the physical, mental, and sometimes even emotional strains that come with it. That is our decision, our [I]right[/I]. [/QUOTE]
