[QUOTE="browned out, post: 3913589, member: 8105"] BUG; how about some answers? We can handle the truth. No lecture kid; only a search for answers. For some unknown reason, you want to name call, insinuate that I am TDU or Teamsters United; and make ignorant statements with no factual basis. It would be refreshing if you would actually address some of the issues. I have been a PT committee man, a PT Union steward, and a FT alternate steward and acting FT steward when others were off. I would be a Full Time steward if I was eligible to run last election. Being on a medical leave of absence is the only reason I am not one of the FT stewards. I have been to numerous union meetings which were an absolute waste of time; totally useless. I have contact with the local leadership but not as much contact as the stewards do. 243 conducts stewards only meetings. I am in contact with 7 buildings including 2 hubs. So, these contacts allow me to come to an accurate conclusion that the consensus of the stewards in those meetings is that 243 is incompetent. 243 refuses to answer the stewards' questions that directly relate to changes in pay, working conditions and terms of employment. So; when the stewards come back to the barns; they have 0 answers. I guess I did not elaborate. I have gone to union meetings and have seen the entire hall packed with members searching for answers and receiving none. The look of exasperation from members is a shame. The leadership is a sham. The [I]Other's [/I]I mentioned ( stewards and committee persons) have reinforced and elaborated on the inadequacy of 243's "negotiations" and their shell game of hiding answers that will not be open to interpretation in the CBA. I highly advise members to refrain from confronting the 243 leadership...or for that matter; confronting anyone at UPS, hourly's, or the public. I will leave the confrontational behavior to the BUG. Spirited discussion is fine but confrontational behavior is unacceptable. I will forego the Full-Time steward position and instead run for a position on the slate that ousts the current incompetent 243 leadership. Charges can not be filed at this point. And hopefully; it will not be come to that. Charges will only be necessary if 243 does not correct it's behavior and actually start fulfilling their duty of fair representation during contract negotiations. The dominoes will continue to fall. The Locals that have turned their backs on the members time is up. Local elections will continue and more leadership changes will occur before the next Teamster convention and National election. Responsible leadership that actually represents the members will take control of the Teamsters. The trash will continue to be removed from Teamster Halls across the nation. [/QUOTE]
