The company needs to accept defeat in regards to their highly touted Pas/Edd system. Before this gem was unvailed, trucks were loaded and preloaders were sometimes gone before the drivers wandered in.
i love the way these p/t sups act like they dont understand the problem with them working,they understand just fine.
we have a contract to follow at ups and that means everybody,hourly and managment.
the contract says in black and white no managment shall perform bargaining unit work,we are the bargaining unit and you are the managment,got it.
It should all be very clear to the,E-Man Article 3 Section 7 of the contract,which I am sure he has never read nor heard of.His bosses wind him up and out he goes getting yelled at from both sides.Not an enviable position frustrated he lashes out at the union people on BC because heaven forbid he would question his superiors.That being said as an inside steward it does my heart good to know the drivers in this instance have our back and show solidarity with the loaders as union brothers.
PS Yo Upstate what is with the union Joe crack ?
Man you are quick I hit the post reply button and you are typing. We need to get Red back I was texting him this week and he said he is done with the BC
In a way I don't blame him. The tone has definitely changed here and it is not as much fun as it used to be.
You definitely have to elaborate on that one! What do you feel has changed? Is it just starting to get "same ol', same ol'", or is it changing for the worse?
There seems to be an overall sense of negativity here and I am as guilty as the next. There have been improvements, such as the forums for retirees and management, but the union issues forum has definitely taken a turn for the worse with the way 804 has dominated the discussion.
I think i would have emotional issues if I actually enjoyed seeing those pictures.
I'm with you there Dave the local 804 forum I mean labor forum sucks real bad. I'm not going there anymore after today.There seems to be an overall sense of negativity here and I am as guilty as the next.

Maybe I just need to take a break for a while.

How about a forum called the garbage can we could put that kind of stuff there. Or how about locals junk forum for threads with a local in it?I think it would be crazy to start new forums for particular Locals. It looks like its election time for 804, they are located in Long Island, NY and have a lot of members. A lot of these posts are from new members pushing their particular slate and most of them will disappear after the ballots are counted. If we start forums for certain Locals, where would it end? Locals 705/710 in Chicago are big, do they need one too? The thread titles usually indicate subject matter, I don't read every thread that gets posted on this site.
