[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 810304, member: 17969"] Babaganoush, Dont your own words suggest that the unions can compromise with the company and NOT always seek "their" way? This sort of defeats your position of unions only want whats best for them, doesnt it? The UAW took major cuts for its employees (wages, benefits, health care, pensions) in order to save the domestic auto industry, doesnt this demonstrate the efforts of collective bargaining to compromise? I laugh at "posters" who work in a blue collar industry and then support or verbally show support for attacks on the middle class union workers as if they will never be affected in the future. Somehow, its a mystery how teamsters at UPS believe that somehow without a Nationwide collective bargaining agreement in place, they would earn the benefit package they currently enjoy. As if the company would pay anything close to what we are all earning presently or provide the health care packages that total close to 28K a year each to every employee. Every job would be 9.50 an hour if there were no collective bargaining agreements in place. Poster moreluck clearly buys the political right wing rhetoric when she posts a poster showing the democrats in wisconsin with the words WANTED on it. As if thats the right thing to do to its citizens. When the democrats had the majority in the congress, posters like moreluck complained about the heavy hand of partisanship, yet, in wisconsin, the republican majority wants to attack its middle class citizens with a majority and, shes "all in" with them. The point is simple, if you are a UPS teamster, you should pay a watchfull eye on this situation, it may be us in 2013. Peace. [/QUOTE]
