I'm with the membership. I realize everybody's situation is different. Cost of Living at UPS is very different around the nation. Excessive OT along with a UPSer's commute is ruining families in large metro areas.
Our jobs take an extreme toll on our bodies, not to mention long-term employees are not as mentally sound & relaxed as they once were due to the years of abuse.
I'm closing in on retirement with this contract, you can't fault me for wanting/wishing this contract passes. Call me selfish or a Me'ster. Yet, I believe most in my position would feel the same way.
***However*** I will not cross, I will not Scab. If Teamster Nation says we walk. I'm walking with you guys.
No work force with 100's of thousands employees on the planet as a whole in its entirety works harder than us. From top to bottom. I am convinced.
All I ask is my co-workers weigh all the pro's & con's of our contract around mid-July and vote with your mind.
I'll be honest, I hate the stress of these contracts. We put up with enough as it is.
