[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1161974, member: 17969"] I find it terrible, that our local leaders who voted "unanimously" to approve this contract are now being used in statements by UPS spokespeople against us. The company is begining its PR campaign against us by using the "unanimous" vote to put the blame on the disagreement on the employees. Here is the first story where it was used. [url=http://www.whas.com/articles/84-whas-local-news-283307/ups-teamsters-at-odds-over-new-11380492/]UPS, Teamsters At Odds Over New Contract[/url] excerpt: "[FONT=Times New Roman]A UPS spokesman says the fact that Teamsters 89 is fighting the contract is interesting becuase they participated in a national Teamsters conference earlier this year where the contract being offered by UPS [B]was unanamously approved[/B]."[/FONT] In other statements by UPS, they make the same claim, "the contract was unanimously approved" and then go on to say that "We" were gaining a $3.90 cent an hour increase, a full health and welfare package that contains health insurance and a pension. It further goes on to say the company doesnt understand why if there was an agreement, the employees would reject the offer in todays business climate. The two man meeting should have had 11 NAY votes, from Andy M, Ron H to Randy :censored:. Instead, they voted to approve the taking away of our health care and extending progression for our part timers, along with concessions on smaller issues knowing full well that we would lose our minds once we realized what they have done. They simply didnt care. They never thought this contract would be held up by the rejection of 17 supplementals. They were wrong. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
