[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 52976"] Gee folks, I enjoy batting around politics but let's not go there here. We need to focus and stay on point or we'll learn nothing and achieve nothing. That said I emailed APWA last Thursday and Mr. Silkman responded back about the 2 year wage freeze idea to gain a kitty to buyout the pension plans. He told me plainly that at this time this approach is not a priority so based on his comments I take it this idea we see thrown around here is just that, an idea so just thought I'd throw that out to the group. I also think it's an idea with some merit to discuss and investigate. Mr. Silkman briefly said that he believes it's in the best interest of UPS to get us out lock, stock and barrel and he's also not holding UPS entirely blameless in this entire matter. OK2BC, M2C and others here that I know are longtime members of Browncafe and interested in this matter if you will PM me with an email address I'll forward Silkman's response and you can read it for yourself. c ya!
