[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 5066561, member: 1664"] How much money did the teamsters put into your pension and benefits? Zero Only cost you 2 hours pay a month in dues, from every member, for the privilege of negotiation. In the1997 UPS proposal contract separated all UPS retirement funds to only go to UPS employee's. Hoffa was trying to come back into power in that election year and he claimed since Carey received an inheritance of $1.5 million from his father who made the money from UPS that Carey would go soft on the UPS contract negotiations. In the back room, the strike was mandated beforehand, to make Carey look strong against UPS. I had connections to people who "knew" people from my bad old days and they clued me into the inner workings. I changed my life in 1975 and went totally straight. That's all I will say about that. From that info, I quit the teamsters. The quano hit the fan for Carey later. If the contract was adopted then current UPS retirees would receiving more income and benefits. I could care less if someone does, or does not, respect me. I will bet a dollar to a donut hole that I am the only UPS driver that called the 1997 negotiation committees office for info and was on a national radio program discussing the subject. If the teamsters make you feel safe, stay in the harness. [/QUOTE]
