[QUOTE="Superteeth2478, post: 3766761, member: 73024"] I am a steward. And I don't see you having proven that this contract is the greatest contract since sliced bread. Which is why I could care less about what you were saying, and pointed out your butchering of the saying. It's not a grammatical error, by the way. Or a typo. "to spite" and "despite" are two different phrases with two different meanings entirely. But of course, everyone knows that's besides the point. You know, I was going to type that I hate you instead of calling you a sellout. But thinking about it I really don't hate you (it is, as they say, a strong word), so I changed it. I guess sellout isn't necessarily accurate either. You may genuinely think this is a great contract. But when you see it's effects 5, 10, or 15 years down the line, I'll be the one saying I told you so...and by then it won't matter because this is the point of no return, especially because of the fact that the Article XII language was used to impose the contract when for once the majority of those that voted voted no. Now keep in mind I'm not saying that the IBT should just pick and choose when they follow their own constitution, but the vast majority of the membership doesn't even know of the language, let alone understand it, let alone understand that the IBT is legally bound by it. I mean, even the members here, who are at least passionate enough about all this that they joined a forum to talk about it online still don't understand that the IBT is legally bound by the constitution. Granted, they can still negotiate additional provisions, but it's not hard for Taylor to make a piss-poor attempt and act like he tried and not change a damn thing except for Abney's count of notches in his bedpost for the number of times Taylor has sucked his dick. The IBT has NO leverage anymore. We are bound by this contract. You think UPS will literally throw money at us out of the goodness of their hearts? The only thing I can see them POSSIBLY doing is raising the starting part-time rate to $15, and that's just to compete with Amazon. They sure as hell won't add in catch-up raises...and they sure as hell won't mess with the 22.4 language. So this truly is the beginning of the end. Screencap it. [/QUOTE]
