[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5665333, member: 70932"] Because we're discussing the next contract. The PTers do not have the votes to turn this down. The only way it is getting turned down is if the FTers, who aren't happy with their raises, turn it down. We told UPS that we would strike for you, for the PTer wage rate. The National Negotiating Committee agreed to a TA with the Company that gave you guys a pretty decent raises. Our elected officials recommend this contract. We did our part. If you now expect us to strike for you to get a few more dollars, more than what the negotiating committee agreed to, well, good luck with that. Hell, the Union won't even have your back. You will be labeled ungrateful SOB's. And then it will go back to the ways it's always been. Screw those ungrateful PTers. We, as FTers, will take our big raises and give those ungrateful PTers nothing. And they won't be able to do anything about it. Because they don't have the voting numbers. Let me let you in on a little secret. It is still this way. The only reason the Union fought to get you bigger raises was because they wanted to show Amazon and FedEx what a Union can do for them. You were just being used as pawns. They really don't care about you because you don't vote, in numbers, on the contracts nor for the elected officials. And we, as FTers, stood up for you once. If you want to bitch and moan about it now, don't count on us standing up for you again. [/QUOTE]
