[QUOTE="outta hours, post: 621507, member: 4568"] 767 is better than it's ever been. I say that from just a normal members personal observation in my 20+ years as a 767 member. In my opinion Wesley has done a great job. I can tell you this if I'm sitting outside the panel door with my job on the line, there is NO ONE I would want inside fighting for my job and my family, more than Wesley or John. I am glad that president Jenkins attended the conference. I believe if the information is correct the opposition slates nominee for president can't find the time to show up for monthly union meetings. I can say from personal experience I have never seen him there. Lets not fool ourselves, if you have been a member as long as I have we have definitely seen how bad it can be with poor leadership. It is much better now and much more solid than ever before. Those of you members who really want change. I encourage you to become more supportive and active in our union. And ask our leaders what you can do to help them improve our union. Use your time, knowledge, and resources to help build up our local. Not tear it down. The contract and the local cannot always protect us from getting shafted by the company. I have been worked over by UPS a few times on contract language or interpretations. Sometimes when dealing with this company you get the short end. And when you get it you think you are the only one that it has ever happened to. News flash ,your not the only one. You can't make the union staff be the fall guy for the actions of UPS. The union does what it can, but it is an enormous struggle daily dealing with UPS. And sometimes it just is not your day. Lets not cloud the big picture and the success Local 767 has had under Wesley Jenkins with minuscule isolated instances of things not going one's personal way. This union is bigger than any one individual. If you feel a change is needed that's your choice. As for me, my vote will be for the candidate that has the best interest of ALL of the members of Local 767 at heart. And that man is Wesley Jenkins. [/QUOTE]
