[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 327812, member: 1664"] That's a lot of questions for me to answer. I will try and answer them one by one. First off my whole career started at the age of 15. I have been on my own since the age of 17 and I did not start working at UPS until I was 33. I have lived and worked in Texas all my life. I know my worker rights in Texas. Since I indirect packages to my home for my neighbors, using all the correct procedures mandated by UPS and have the customers permission to do so, I have little worry over a new center manager reviewing my files. To make far more money, I would have to relocate. To make the same or better, I could stay here. I chose to stay here, where my options are open and continue to live the lifestyle I chose for myself. Selfish, yes, as we all are. This will probably blow your mind. No manager at UPS has ever even came close to saying to me,"If you don't like it you can quit.". I have been thru 13 center manager's and at least 50 on road sup's. I am treated with respect and I give it back, in like kind. Fedx people make more per delivery than we do, percentage wise. The biggest complaint I hear from Upser's is that they throw too much work at us. Teamsters demand higher wages and the simple law of economics demands we produce more to cover the increase wages. So, the teamsters can toot their horn about being paid so well, but has the right to complain when that wage has to be justified and keep the company profitable? Back to my career and your closing argument, I have worked at three different union jobs, Electrical Brotherhood, Steelworkers and the teamsters. I also worked in non-union jobs. In the union jobs, my skill and drive did not count. Only seniority, basically meaning wait your turn. In the non-union jobs my skills, ability and drive counted for everything. I was rewarded in pay and position. I am not saying I am better than anyone else. I just try and do my level best daily and if it isn't good enough for the company that pays me then I will leave with no hard feelings. In closing, I will never give the teamsters union any credit,or support, for what they do for themselves, in the name of protecting me. It's late, I hope I addressed all of the issues. [/QUOTE]
