[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 580995, member: 18708"] Interesting post. Here, (as you are aware but maybe not others), stewards are paid back all dues for the year which is a considerable amount of money. So yes although they are volunteering their time, they are also getting a nice 42" TV every Christmas to represent the union members. Now as far as running for office, if that were to happen, you would no longer be represented at ALL by the union here. Forget about it. If UPS ever wanted to hang you out to dry, the union would be the wind machine. I do value my job and running for office is one way to put one foot out the door! If that is not corrupt I dont know what is. All I ask is that the officers do not make radical side-deals with UPS. It has nothing to do with the stewards who are simply messengers. In my eyes anyway, it has to do with the selling out on issues where UPS is simply wrong yet the union, up to the pres, backs them on a wrong interpetation that even a blind man could see. To say that the problem lies with the union member and not the union, although true in some cases, is hardly one size fits all. Good suggestions and ideas though. [/QUOTE]
