Any local is only as strong as its members unity. If you have a weak local, its tell tell of its members !
ICU,

I respectfully disagree with this staatement.

There exists an apathy, fear, corruption, lack of honesty and morale in the everyday local culture at UPS.

This culture has disasterous effects on the morale of unionism and the members faith, trust and confidence and unity.

It is true this has greatly impacted voter turnout within the union. This lack of turnout to me represents this poor culture.

Now to my point.

The Teamsters, internationally and locally, is governed using a representative form of government.

The strength of any representative government can be measured by the strength of the leaders not by the strength of the members.

If you want to talk about apathy at the ballot box or why certain representatives are chosen, then talking about membership would be appropriate.

The fact is the Union Leaders represent the members and the members strenghth can only be represented by the strength of the leadership in place at the moment in time that union strength is being measured.

Sincerely,
I

I don't believe you, You sound like the same 22. 23 guy in my building all he does is bitch he had many chances to go package car driving, but he never took it, because he finds a way to get ground 3times a week, and I grieve it 3 times a week.

That is a woefully misguided observation.

The members are the Union. The leaders strength comes from the active participation of its members.

It's sad.... that an average of 30% of UPS members even vote on their own contract.


If you are an hourly Union employee, your time maybe better spent involving yourself with your Local.... trying to affect a positive change.

Even though I kind of understand your reasoning for starting so many threads.... most border on pointless drivel.

Have you not yet realized that Integrity is always correct? He will ask a question while he already has formulated his own answer. He will question you to steer you to what he thinks is right...then plain disagree with you. You then proceed to bash your head against a brick wall in hopes to make better progress than talking to that troll.

P.S. - He will show concern for me.
