[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 5575780, member: 12570"] Keep in mind that 1997 and 2023 are world's apart. In 1997 we had support from the general public. Times were good and people wanted us to get all that we could. In 2023 there will be ZERO support from the general public. People are struggling----granted, many are struggling due to their own stupid decisions---and once they learn that a FT seniority RPCD who works 1-2 hours per week of OT per week earns 6 figures for a job that requires only a HS diploma and valid drivers license, they will be asking where to sign up. In addition, there are far too many UPSers living paycheck to paycheck, a fact that the Company is well aware of. Sean wants to make a splash with his first big Teamster contract but in the end the 2023-2028 agreement will be business as usual with the bulk of the contract dealing with substance abuse. There were unfortunate incidents in the larger hubs in '97. I believe a manager died while driving a tractor trailer. The 18 years will fly by. I can't believe that I will be starting my 6th year of retirement in July. I keep busy with volunteering at the VA and playing pickleball and Papa. [/QUOTE]
