[QUOTE="Macbrother, post: 1066452, member: 42759"] Nobody misled me about anything, I was fully aware of the state of affairs before joining, so you can save your bloviating, patronizing speel. The length of wait for FT is not an issue I have with the union. If only UPSers had listened to management when they said this in '97, the strike would've never happened!

[COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] I'm curious, do you think UPSers should have accepted this line of reasoning in '97 and accepted management demands for fear of reprisal / fear of more work?
