[QUOTE="Old International, post: 979555, member: 14916"] Amen to that. Here is SC, UPS isn't afraid of the union. What UPS is afraid of is the state run fair labor board. They have the law on their side, and they can and will impose fines on the company for wrong doing. I also discovered very early on the the goals of the union, and my goals were not the same. THe union wanted, and still does, a huge amount of money to represent an employee. Some employee's pay this as a cheap insurance policy to keep their job. I have found that UPS is very understanding concerning rule breakage- Hell, you can get away with almost ANYTHING once. I have broken a number of rules- But when caught, I owned up to the mistake- if on purpose or not. I paid the price, and got on with my life. Now, I am in a position of trust, and my immediate supervisors trust my judgement. If I make a mistake, it's more "I wouldn't have done it that way, I would have done it this way". Thats fine, and I will do it their way if and when the circumstances dictate. I guess what I am saying- I am not afraid to take responsibility for my actions, and therefore, don't need the services of a union. [/QUOTE]
