[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 202856, member: 6408"] That's it, 705. Or, "The rules don't apply to ME!". I've said that before in diff posts. I predicted a couple wks ago how our last meet of the summer would be attended. Prediction came true. Our local recesses for Jun, Jul, Aug. You'd think that with issues confronting us real soon, looming contract expiration, talk of strike, early contract negotiations, pension problems and talk of a take-over by UPS, concessions, wages, insurance, jobs, volume, and on-and-on, that we'd be packed for our last meet before summer. Well, attendance was well over what it usually is, but with FREIGHT drivers! UPSers? Maybe 15-20, with most being feeders drivers and NO PTers that I could see! We really care! (sarcasm intended). For that reason, when some of these same non-attendees start asking me about what's going on (no, I ain't a steward or BA as I've been accused of before), I tell them they shoulda been there because I don't recite so good. If they start complaining about some supposed injustice by the union or UPS, I also ask if they've been to any proposal meetings to try to change things or lanquage. I don't want to hear from any non-activists about ANYTHING! By ACTIVISTS, I also don't mean radical, name-calling, mud-slinging, goofballs. I mean those here that SHOULD be concerned about their immediate and long-term future. Don't just get on here or at work-place and spout words and figures and then lay down when it comes to actually making a difference! [/QUOTE]
