[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5328748, member: 76643"] We've gotta hold Teamsters United to their word and, I think, swing for the fences. For example, I'll be happy to concisely and passionately defend the removal of all "no strike clauses" from our contracts. I don't care that it's not a "realistic" goal. Obviously there were serious problems with the Teamsters back in the early 70s (*ahem* the mafia's control of the union), but I was just talking with a fiery retiree who remembers what it was like for the union to hold its own trump card. He told me his BA would remind the center manager, "We can settle this right now or I'll go grab the picket signs." The more I learn about the grievance procedure, the more I loathe it. We have gotten bogged down in a bureaucratic process that, no surprise, has largely benefited the company. The cameras are case in point. They refused to bargain, we should've hit the street.
