[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1072174, member: 32753"] Inthegame, I think you missed my point. When I was given proper orientation-i.e. pointed in the right direction-on how to do certain things, I prospered. When I wasn't (and not because UPS wanted me to fail or didn't have good procedures in place, but because the supes involved were too busy or lazy to do it correctly), I suffered, but it also adversely affected UPS somehow for my managers and supervisors to come yelling/crying to me about my poor performance. New hires need to be pointed in-sometimes led in-the right direction concerning getting involved with union activities. For myself, a conversation with my father concerning him going to a union meeting (he's in the postal union) made me realize I should learn more about my union, and go to meetings. A teamster at my workplace probably should have done that, not someone from the postal union. (To be fair, though, in my current center the steward always asks if we will attend the meeting on a given Saturday) As for "the Republican Stance on handouts and redistribution", they do have one: don't do it. Union vets here about handing out info to new hires (vs them finding their own way) and involving them in the union's activities by reaching out to them: don't do it. I have read the primary job of a union agent is to organize. While they are "part of the union", ptmers are not organized, to the detriment of everyone involved. [/QUOTE]
