[QUOTE="Thebrownblob, post: 6172988, member: 60485"] I don’t think anybody’s been more critical of his reaction to this than me, but it’s difficult for me to think I could trust any deal with this company on my own. As of the last year, here they haven’t even paid off vacations when people retire, even though they know they owe it. He should’ve been upfront with the membership about the fact that he probably cannot stop this. And the fact remains any deal that UPS would offer you upfront is the lowest number possible. I’ve also said I don’t begrudge anyone who has been grinding here for enough years to think this deal is good enough for them. Take the money and run. But for most of us, this is a slap in the face a very unserious offer. On the issue of dues money, I knownthere is quite a number of smaller locals who have been hurt both by building closures and the loss of membership moving to other locals, and now a possible double whammy of losing, high paying dues members. Seems like an interesting way to defeat the union by shrinking it one local at a time. [/QUOTE]
