[QUOTE="union4life, post: 2542546, member: 35190"] This is the attitude we as union workers are being replaced with. Workers come to UPS looking for something better. They see our hourly rate and benefits and decide to try their hand at a new beginning. Unfortunately, they bring their old habits with them under the disguise of "work ethic" and slowly erode all that was fought for over the years. Everything that made them want the job and make the switch is given back until the past retirees are sold out and the future employees no longer line up for this job. Then they are left with a job like everyone else's job. Stripped of everything. The future Upsers wonder when and where it all went wrong. Brown Jake, consider that we are not spoiled or soft but that the rest of the world's workforce is being fleeced. What lured you to this company was fought hard for. Protect it, please. Build upon it and make it even better. If the company needs us to start working more and longer, negotiate and get something for you and future workers. Don't just give it away. Keep up the standards and maintain them. People say all the time that the rest of the working population doesn't have it as good as we do. Why in the world would you want to take a step backwards and be like the rest of the people who work in worse conditions or longer hours? [/QUOTE]
