[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 5034642, member: 1664"] The union made the rules of seniority mandatory for ALL employees through the contract. No advantage there since the union controlled the rules. It was my principles that made me quit the union over the real reasons of the 1997 strike. Wrong again, the center manager hated the concept of a satellite route and had extra work put on me trying to force me to quit, or come back to the center. I just took the money from working 12 to 13hr days over the 19yrs as a solo satellite driver. I saved and invested the O.T. money allowing me to retire debt free, with a nice nest egg, at the age of 60. Now, you are going to argue that I would not have made as much money if I did not work for a union controlled company. Once again, you are incorrect. I chose the place I wanted to live and UPS paid enough to make my dream come true. Easily, if I wanted to have to travel, or live in a big city, I could have made more. I chose to live a quiet life in the country. Freeload? You have no clue what it took to build my life. [/QUOTE]
