[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 1197720, member: 17605"] I'm curious as to why the OP makes things so black/white, us vs. them. Yes, both sides got us our benefits. UPS sells shipping, hires us to do it, the union collectively bargains on our behalf for our pay and benefits. While I believe that the money UPS makes is totally slanted in the direction of the executives and shareholders, I refuse to blame anyone but the sheeple of the US to allow this to happen. It's not so far fetched to imagine the people taking back the morals of corporations, but not enough people care or are even educated/street smart enough to know it's happening until it's too late and they're stuck with obligations that require them to work for the man.
