[QUOTE="proups, post: 53207"] I think that my2cents was trying to focus on the Teamsters as a whole - not just the Teamsters that represent UPS. The Teamster union is a corrupt union and has been for a very long time. Even in our strike in 1997, the Teamsters had to count on the AFL-CIO to bring in people from outside UPS to walk the picket lines in the second week of the strike because UPSers were not walking. Many UPSers were going back to work. I agree that union UPSers and management get along. We are all well paid and civilized people. If you did not catch the HBO documentary about the Overnite strike, you really missed a documentary that would not make you proud to be a Teamster. Overnite decided to "break" the union's unreasonable demands, hired non-Teamsters to move their customer's freight, and the Teamsters eventually backed down. Overnite won. During that strike, the Teamsters union employed violent tactics against management and non-management. That is why they had to post the anti-violence notices at the locals. It is sad, but true.
