[QUOTE="Lead Belly, post: 2294787, member: 56656"] i would hope that there are a million other Teamsters who would do the same thing I did. In reality there isn't but in my heart I know there are others. There has to be others out there like me who take so much pride in being a teamsters. God I love the teamsters. At 18 I was going nowhere and I got this job at ups. A part time job. I wanted a full time job but you couldn't go full time till you were 21 I didn't know how to drive a stick shift but I wanted to drive a ups truck. I bought a brand new Ford Ranger at the age of 20 that was a stick shift manual transmission. I couldn't even drive it home from the car dealer. I wanted to learn though. My father who was back in my life against n for a short time again tried to show me but he yelled and got all crazy so I told him to get out of the truck. I barely got it home. My uncle Steve then shown me how to drive it. A year later I was an air driver. It still seemed like it would take to long to get the job and I had taken a lot of other jobs to see where I was going to fit in the food chain. Meat cutter wasn't for me. I was a dock worker for r central transport in freight. I showed up one day and it was all locked up. They went out of business. Then I went and drove for Interstate Brands (Wonder Bread) and still kept my part time job at ups. That wasn't for me either. Then I got a job in sanitation ( garbage man) sanitary engineer and I did that for about a year. That was a very hard job. From there it was land scaper and then ups violated the contract I filed a grievance actually I organized about 12 of us to file on it ( I still remember driving to everyone's house to pick up their grievances and we were all awarded full time jobs out of it. The rest was me becoming a ups full timer and my love for the teamsters for the life I have earned through the great contracts Kenny has negotiated. There is no doubt there is easily at least two or maybe five others just like me. With my loyalty resolve and genuine appreciate. Thank you Teamsters for the life. [/QUOTE]
