[QUOTE="tyugar, post: 376062, member: 4767"] Sadly, it looks like 705 is the last local without leaders castrated or paid off by Scott Davis. It's sickening that while the top 5% richest in this country hold 50% of the wealth, the Teamsters union will take it in the rear from UPS this August 1st. Hoffa is blatantly in bed with UPS high-level management (which just shows the credibility of the so-called majority of teamsters due to his re-election). How else could such a weak national be passed with so little debate? Shouldn't our wages at least keep up with inflation rates? Why under any circumstances should any of the language in our contract be weaker than the previous one? Corporate greed. Us part-timers are like machines to them, oiled up with pennies. This mentality trickles down through the ranks of management, just look at how FT-Sups treat their PT-Sups. They do whatever it takes to cut costs as low as possible, as long as the packages still go from A to B (most of the time). Anyone who thinks the new contract is fine is probably either a full-timer or [B]management[/B](tieguy), giving them the same selfish mentality that some claim 705 has. Get real folks! [/QUOTE]
