[QUOTE="BrownShark, post: 281728, member: 12148"] Brazenblown, Do you forget that the TEAMSTERS were invited to represent the employees by the founder and CEO of UPS?? Why is it, that you work for a company, that pays you a wage that is negotiated for YOU, Benefits that are negotiated for YOU and contract language that protects YOU from the same company that you claim is the savior of all employees?? Without this negotiated contract, you would have worked for UPS for about 6 months before they "canned" your rear end and moved on to the next victim. I guess you are of the belief that UPS wants to have 30 year employees on the books, or 15 year part timers. Maybe you believe UPS enjoys paying out benefits to all employees and sacrifices larger profits because of the kindness of their hearts for guys like you? It amazes me the depth of peoples intelligence when they make a claim the employees are biting the hand that feeds them. Let me guess, do you pet your dogs rear end first when he comes up to you, or do you reach down and stroke his head? The contract is something that YOU have to do absolutely nothing to gain a big benefit. Then, you turn around and call them leaches? How close to the wages you currently earn, do you think you could get all by yourself with your dedicated service alone??? All the "ash" kissing in the world wouldn't bring you 50% of the hourly wage or benefits you currently have. Why insult the collective barganing process all the while enjoying the benefits of it? It never ceases to amaze me the ignorance of such positions when it is clear that the very same company without this negotiated contract would remove ALL OF US and replace us in two seconds flat. Maybe you are that one special guy that UPS would pay 32.50 an hour to deliver packages without a contract cause you love the company? But, I imagine even the best set of kneepads couldn't get that raise. Why not in the least, thank the Teamsters for what they have done for the employees over the last 100 years and pray that they continue to represent the employees for the next 100?? This may not have been the best contract negotiated in the last 20 years, but it will do for the next 5. The real challenge will be to see what will happen in 2013 and what the company will expect us to lose then. In the meantime, if you feel that the TEAMSTERS are merely a leaching entity, why not go to the company and ask them to stop paying your benefit package? Tell them that you want to make your own health care contributions and make your own personal investments to your private pension program and dont need the companies help. Otherwise, your a fellow leach. Peace.:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
