[QUOTE="Brother Joe, post: 968523, member: 41239"] ups does not give us a check out of the kindness of their heart. They use as few workers as possible & manage by stress. We made them give us 10,000 jobs & every thing else we won in 97. It was through struggle. I'm the hardest working man in the history of hard work, but I realize I get nothing for my hard work but more hard work. You think your paycheck is well deserved? Now thats Patheic! What have you done to deserve it? What have you done to build the union so we can get a better paycheck as well as the laundry list of items that need improvement. The Teamsters make ups give us a pay check. We wouldn't get as good of a paycheck as we get if we weren't union. Many wouldn't have a job if we didn't have just cause. They would just fire people they didn't like. The work you do for ups is not as an important to getting a good paycheck as is organizing for a better contract. The grievance procedure was put in place as well as labor law to create labor peace because of previous militant struggles. It is better to have that than nothing.
