UPS Union Issues
Could you ever see unions making a large comeback and expanding membership?

[QUOTE="NYJetsfan87, post: 5025836, member: 92723"] Speaking as a current union member , a co worker and friends of many union members I would say a lot of people are losing faith in the union. Corruption , bankrupt pensions , etc is rampant. I can depend on my union. They are strong and there for the members when you need them. Which is good. But they aren’t nearly as strong as they used to be. Even though they will fight for you and save your job if management comes after you they let a lot go. There is a full time supervisor that doesn’t pay people right , threatens the members, doesn’t follow seniority , doesn’t put in the vacations correctly and nothing happens to him. He’s been sat down by HR and security so many times I lost count. Back in the day the union would have had this guy fired or transferred a long time ago . He was already thrown out of two buildings in NY and throw off the twilight in my building but allegedly because the management teams didn’t want to work with him not because of the union. Now , not only is he not fired but he’s going around telling people he might get promoted ? Scary. Mind you I don’t think he can read or write . And if he could it’s limited. So for reasons like him I would say yes we need unions. How bad would management people like that become if we didn’t have protection ? [/QUOTE]
