[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1714551, member: 198"] How can I back them if I'm not 100% sure of what they were holding out for? LOL. If it was for the parking lot issue then there is no way I could have supported them. Are you talking about Louisville? How many other Americans that don't work at UPS have worse commutes than that? I once worked in a factory where I had to spend an average of 10 minutes (that's after the 25/30 minute commute) navigating the numerous parking lots to find a space. Then after waiting another 5 min to go through security I had another 5 to 10 walking the entire length of the sprawling complex to my work station during which I usually had to wait line to clock in. So, not including the actual drive from my house to the entrance to the parking lots I had an average of 30 minutes of time on property that didn't count for anything. Not quite as long as Louisville hub but the property I worked on wasn't near that size. And I only made $9.50/hr with no health insurance bennies (those that did have them didn't have anything close to what a part-timer at UPS has and had to pay monthly) and no college tuition. You see where I'm going with this? And it's like that at many other places all over the country. Even union shops I'm sure. So, to me definitely not worth a fight. Especially if it holds up the rest of the country. [/QUOTE]
