[QUOTE="BrownSuit, post: 371829, member: 14437"] [I] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]The state with the Windy City is not the only one by any means. There are another 49. Each one has it's own issues and problems. Some of the worst Union Violence during the Overnite Unionization happened in the south. Memphis if my memory serves me correctly. I challenge anybody here to watch the movie that I mentioned above, [B]American Standoff[/B]. Both sides were in error and it was ugly. It makes you see both sides of the coin. It's a wake up for not only the rank and file, but also anybody with management aspirations. If you can't take the time to see the movie, then you really don't have the time to post here. It's done by HBO, not Corporate America.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]Anything that is said that challenges you is propaganda. Take a chance to relax, back away and think. I realize some people are stirring up the pot, but others are giving genuine feedback. As for the Fuel Surcharges, you can pass them on, but until what point? UPS's warning on the 2nd Quarter was because of a volume shift from the more profitable Air to less profitable ground shipments. The Fuel may be passed on, but UPS can't make up for the difference in customer's switching services because of the high prices. This was clearly outlined in the earnings warning. FedEx has said the same about their current economic situation. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]Believe it or not, I don't believe the company is out there to make great changes to the contract. Has the local ever asked what supplements would be offered if they went on the National? Also, I'm definitely NOT in Atlanta. I do think it's funny that anybody that tries to reason with you sounds like they are in upper-management and has to be at 55 Glenlake Parkway. So take my challenge, watch the movie. Take a step back and think about everything. My opinion about all of this is hang tight, both sides should be open and ready to collectively bargain. It's a two way street. Be careful how you approach it, what words you use to describe the process. If the local treats the Company folks in the highest regard (Not saying your not already) you come out looking like Saints. You also come out in a better position in the future. Not only in how you approach the process, but the words, the metaphors that you use to describe the bargaining. Be upbeat, positive that the company will meet your requests (not demands) and it will happen. Trash everybody, the company included, and it will come back at you. [/SIZE][/FONT] [/I] [/QUOTE]
