[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1786925, member: 29553"] Folks, that's what happens when you settle for mediocrity. You accept weak contracts that UPS offers. You accept split raises as acceptable. You accept an underfunded Teamcare. You accept weak language on technology and allow Sure Post and Access Point,etc which basically is outsourcing. Then when certain locals express their rightful dissatisfaction with elements of the contract, it is imposed on them!! Sure you make a lot of money but you probably work 50-60 hrs a week. Hall didnt make that money for you...you earned it yourself. In fact I dont see any evidence of actual negotiating by Hall: the contract looks like something UPS offered and Hoffa/Hall just accepted. They accept it because they have become house slaves who wait around for the crumbs that UPS allows them and sells it to us field slaves as Prime Rib. This membership will not be fooled any longer. Informed members will not accept mediocrity any longer. It's not just UPS Teamsters...it is Carhaulers, Mechanics, Public Sector, etc. No one is happy with the current "leadership". The only question seems to be whether the rank and file will stick with a weak, tired leadership that they know or vote the bums out and vote for needed change that they do not know. [/QUOTE]
