[QUOTE="CBUK, post: 357115, member: 10491"] I never said I thought I was being sold up the river and my comment on pay was not aimed as an insult to anybody at UPS or the Union. I have worked under 5 managers and one acting manager in my time at UPS and have never ever felt that I could not approach any of them if I had a problem at work. Therefore I have never seen the need to be a member of the Union. The job that I do puts me under pressure and sometimes I feel that maybe my immediate supervisor may have sold me short with the organisation on the preload. I have little time in my AM time to make an issue of it and over the years I have learnt to channel my aggression into getting the job done and getting a fair days pay for a fair days work. I believe that I work as hard as the next man and my stats back up my opinion. I have struggled of late learning a new round but I have been backed up with support if I have asked for it and this has always been the case. The Union has a few members and The last time they had a push for new members I attended the meeting which in my opinion used scare tactics to sign up people like myself. It took a step back from me to see that I don't really need union assistance when I have management that keep an open door policy with its staff. A lot of drivers I speak to feel hard done by every day of the week but they keep coming back to work every day. Its always good to have a bitch and moan about your day in the canteen over a coffee and its better to do it with someone who can relate to what you are talking about. I only see UPS through my own eyes and I cant comment on the company nationally. Can somebody explain the merits of me joining the Union? I dont want to discount it but I have faith in my own ability to compete with whatever comes my way. [/QUOTE]
