[QUOTE="Fredless, post: 90330, member: 5197"] You guys are promising the world to us. I'm sure UPS would LOVE to see this conflict between us. What I'm obviously blind is this...or maybe people don't just talk the talk in my local, they walk the walk too. If theres a problem, we voice our opinion and the B/A and Stewards listen. I think this is just another thing the corporate world and republicans would LOVE to see. I think Hoffa made a very stupid move when he took his marbles and went home about the whole AFL-CIO split. This is got to be labor's darkest hour since the turn of the century. All the APWA has to offer now is WORDS and thats not going to cut it for me. The days of pensions paying for everything are LONG gone. My father worked for Eastern Airlines for 34 years and his pension which was supposed to be around 3k a month is now paid for by the government ...which he gets around 500 a month. He's told me since I've got out of high school, DO NOT rely on pensions. PAY FOR YOUR OWN retirement...anyone who is to BLIND to not take care of themselves is a fool. The guys retiring in 5-10 years at least have a blip of hope to draw social security. Take a look around your buildings at all the 21-30 year olds there. You think we're going to get a dime? [/QUOTE]
