[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1195523, member: 17969"] The point the poster was making was NOT to define UPS as being the party that was affected the most by the NO vote, and rather, it was to point out to all the members that the NO VOTE brought about positive change. That positive change came in the form of INCREASED benefit levels, something the poster correctly points out that the IBT had NO intention of creating. Had it not been for the courage of the NO voters, the initial P.O.S. benefit levels that the IBT tried to force us into would have become the law of the land for us in the west/southwest. The second point the poster was making was simple. Why stop with just improving health care? Why not readdress the 9.5 issue, the technology issue, the full time job issue, the feeder issue, the outsourcing issue? There are still issues other than health care that concern all the members. The two parrots on this board pretending to represent teamsters tried for months to recommend a YES vote and they have both been owned by the NO voters. What the members need to understand is that this "fight" isnt over with the teamsters. They have merely "tabled" the fight for 5 years and we will once again be forced to address health care and other issues again. The difference next time, is that "We" the members will take back the Union from the establishment and form a new United leadership nationwide and fight harder for the members. What more do the members need to see from the incumbent officers now? Give away leadership. Concessionary thinking. Thats about to change. Locals everywhere are seeing this movement grow. People are stepping up all over the country to challenge their leaders and hopefully take over and bring about a new direction. Those dumbF*&#s who continue to praise this contract as some form gospel have another lesson coming in the upcoming months. This agreement and its changes will NOT save the southwest local leaders who are being challenged. Hoax, try not to misinterpret what posters say. I think I spelled it out for you. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
