Cap and Tradeyeah...we have some real bright minds at our center. this morning at our pcm I mentioned that we should also tell our senators that we are concerned about the Cap and Trade bill as well and the whole building went silent. I immediately knew why...I asked for a show of hands from everyone who knew what I was talking about...lol...1 hand went up..

Please elaborate on how someone could lose their job for not writing a letter. I would prefer something more than "failure to work as directed".I admire your integrity and agree that it should be voluntary but is this really worth possibly losing your job over? Write the letters.

Its all so confusing.
They are forcing us to write letters at our UPS center. I have not been instructed to write one yet, but frankly I'm not very happy with UPS's actions. There have been several people who did not want to write a letter and they were then threatened because they were not following managements orders.
I am totally in favor of HR 915 passing, and I have already wrote my Senators on my own asking for the passage of the bill. However I do not like the idea of UPS telling us we have to write the letters. It is illegal. UPS cannot make us write up political letters against our will, evidently they have not heard of the First Amendment.
I would have no problem doing a letter writing campaign for UPS if they asked us if we wanted to participate, instead they are trying to bully us into writing the letters and that is not right.
My System Manager told us "this is not an optional activity." I wrote the letters and still feel dirty.
.44 per stamp. 4 letters per employee. Probably 250,000 employees writing letters. 1 million letters = $440,000 in postage.
I hope we bought some forever stamps.
This is a USPS Bailout. Stop the madness!!!!!
How much do mechanics make?Today in SDF a crew was pulled from an aircraft and asked to write the letter. Now We have been without a contract for 4 years and if this passes UPS will try to put the drivers in with pilots and mechanics, LIKE FDX, and you will sit for 4 or 5 years with no way to strike. UPS wants to keep you like the pilots and mechanics and sit for 4 or 5 years and work without a raise or benefit enhancement. The only letter I will write is to Hoffa about NO CONTRACT for 4 years, NO RAISE, NO NOTHING.
Amen to that!Instead of writing a letter crying about competition,how about writing a letter about issues already at hand?Today in SDF a crew was pulled from an aircraft and asked to write the letter.

Are you a management person? If so, I strongly question your comments...
While this is oficially an optional activity, I told the management people that report to me that I absolutely expect 100% participtation.
