[QUOTE="air_upser, post: 52794"] great post tooner, and I can't agree more. Everyone needs to realize that there are bad apples in both the management and union ranks. What I always wonder is why these bad apples are blindly defended by upper management and union representation. From my perspective, it is more prevelent on the union side, but that's only my opinion and I'm sure there are many others on this board. I work with both upper management and hourly employees everyday. We are a team. As a supervisor I see my job as an advocate, both for the company and the employee. I can already hear someone saying "B.S." and that's fine, but I know there are supervisors out there that truly care about the company and the job at hand, and the employee they count on. In retrospect, its easier to not give a damn about the employee, but as tooner eludes to, I too take pride in my job and can not turn my head on, who I consider, teamates. We work for UPS. I've seen posts where people say the drive a brown truck, wear a brown uniform, and work for someone else. What is that???? Is that mentality something that starts as soon as you start working for UPS, or over time? Are they the bad apples that hate UPS but don't leave or the good apples that were abused such as plisken? What is the solution? A tougher contract? No union? How would everyone act if it were their company? I don't have the answers. I will say however, that I honestly appreciate the men and women in brown that go out there and bust there butts all day. If I had any say, I would give you a few extra minutes with each customer to get some sales leads. I could go on and on, but that's another discussion thread :-) [/QUOTE]
