[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1301857, member: 42691"] Coming from you, I can't say that is a surprise. I believe these drivers made a mistake, but where I'm from, you never throw your brothers and sisters under the bus as you would choose. Why was it a mistake? For one, it's against the contract and even if UPS does that every single day, we don't have the advantages to cheat and lie like they do. And if this ever gets to a court or an arbitrator, they might be screwed. The second reason why this was a mistake, IMO, is you MUST consider our national leadership when stepping out on a limb. The silence we hear now should tell you how much backing you will get from the Hoffa crew. Look, there are many ways to pull the tail of the tiger. If you have 250 drivers willing to walk out, then you have 250 drivers willing to put enormous pressure on this Masbeth facility with grievances alone. Following the contract to the letter and burying UPS in grievances for every violation would leave management in a serious bind. But Upstate, mistakes aside, you never leave your brothers and sisters out to dry. To do so says everything about you and should remind all of us here to be careful about who you get in a foxhole with. [/QUOTE]
