[QUOTE="coolslice, post: 4239394, member: 50491"] This is the dumbest thing I've read yet. Freeload? I earn every MF'n cent I make. I don't owe the union a damn thing for allowing me to destroy my body and work long hours in conditions that the average person wouldn't tolerate for more than an hour. You really need to look at what we do for a living compared to other jobs before you start acting as if the union has done me a favor by allowing me to go to work. Ultimately, we work for UPS. If they want you there, they'll keep your there. If they want you gone, the union won't stop that. A lawyer will give you much better representation than some union guy who just drunkenly stumbled in off the golf course. I worked at FedEx Express for 5 years, and wish I'd never have quit, to be honest. I still have friends that work there, and you're right, they don't make what I do. However, they don't work as hard as I do. They make about 60, and I make about 90. The difference is that while we have essentially become a moving company due to the number of irregs we deal with, they ride around in an air conditioned van delivering letters. They still get retirement and health insurance, and they will probably be able to walk after they retire. Is what we do worth the extra 30K (assuming you're not 22.4?) That's your decision. [/QUOTE]
