[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 1019656, member: 1664"] [COLOR=#006400][B]Really? I was told in early 96' to prepare for a strike. [/B][/COLOR][B][COLOR=#006400][/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#006400]If Ron was a true friend, he would have told you that it was nothing more than a power struggle between him and Hoffa. Less than 15% of the national membership voted to give " the negotiating committee" the right to call STRIKE, without the membership being allowed to see UPS's offer. I could detail why the national voting number was so low[/COLOR][/B], [B][COLOR=#006400]but I should not have to[/COLOR][/B]. [COLOR=#006400][B]I still have the UPS 97' contract offer in my files. In 97' I was just a normal union employee, until I did my homework. 97' forced me to quit the teamsters. All the solidarity, bbq's, volleyball, sign waving meant JACK. I was being played by the union, not the company. I remember all to well 97', and I have seen the negative consequences, to both the union and UPS, over the last 15yrs. If the company's stance is egregious, in the negotiations, I would gladly strike. If the unions stance is also, I will gladly scab.
