[QUOTE="susiedriver, post: 72470, member: 1848"] [b]This is a quote from the pilot's forum[/b] [COLOR=Red]As Teamsters President James Hoffa rallied the support of some 400 Local 89 members, he also assured IPA leadership that the Teamsters are behind the pilots efforts to obtain a much deserved contract. In fact, the IPA received a standing ovation when Negotiating Committee Member Captain Chuck Patterson mentioned the summer of 1997 when the IPA stood side by side with the Teamsters during a twoweek strike. The unity displayed by the Teamsters and IPA sent a powerful message to the Company that we were united in our goal of fair and equitable working agreements for every union on UPS property, said Patterson.[/COLOR] After spending the evening with Hoffa, Teamsters International Vice President hall and Local 89 President Fred Z, Patterson said it was clear the support for the IPA was sincere and overwhelming. He also says the IPA needs to be clear about the task at hand, We need to refocus our attention to our goal, which is a new contract. When we joined hands with the Teamsters, we demonstrated what unity can do for us and we need to acknowledge what the lack of unity can do to us, said Patterson. In speaking to his members, Hoffa said, these are exciting times as the Teamsters work to organize more companies, including UPSs recently acquired Overnite Corp. He also said another key to their newly found success was quitting the AFL-CIO. The Teamsters joined with six other unions to form the Change to Win Coalition as an alternative. Hoffa has been touring the country in an effort to revive union support. The IPA was invited to attend a Teamster rally/dinner with General President James P. Hoffa.
