[QUOTE="10 point, post: 1673137, member: 52520"] Those folks that have no idea what our jobs (minus feeder runs) entail? That's usually the case. Yet our struggle (and strike) raises the bar for the companies similar to ours. Other teamsters got blessed out of our willingness to stand up against abuses...every day. The question (on every ERI I've taken) never changes: "If you were offered a job with similar wages and benefits would you take it?". If this was utopia and the stress level of this job wasn't elevated to the level it is then why would the company worry about us "overpaid crybabies" dumping this job for a similar one with less stress? Let's not downplay the truth that teamsters at ups have more stress than our counterparts and yet we endure, putting our faith in leadership that doesn't always respect what we do every day or that our workers comp frequency is multiplied times more than all other job frequencies in the US[SIZE=16px]. I believe every BA should go back to their old job or a job at UPS for a year every five years. That'll get some people's mind right.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
