[QUOTE="Ashell, post: 1301947, member: 23726"] As far as the contract goes, I don't see why it didn't pretty much stay the same except negotiate our raises for the next 5 years. Yes there is probably some language that needs cleaned up or better defined, but its not that difficult. What people fail to realize is that the people UPS promote to management typically live a little beyond their means. They are often young and ambitious. They are the type of people that will take their new found income and buy an expensive car they can barely afford. Maybe this car will impress girls, and even better, possibly girls working for them. So the company asks these people to take a little bit out of everyone's pocket, and in return, they get a little piece of it. If they don't do it, and you risk loosing your cushy management job. Then they can't afford the car, and they definitely won't get the cute new hourly employee. Well it turns out, the people that work in the union are the same way. Take a little from everyone, and get rewarded. They just give us enough so that we have to keep coming back. I think the problem with 804 is they did it half way. Once the company threatened to fire everyone they all should have said, No. Firing all the drivers is just UPS saying we have the cards and this is what will happen if you strike. Maybe they do... But company image, and especially customer trust can make or break you. There is a lot of false confidence from UPS, because it would be very difficult to buy enough trucks and planes and buildings to setup and compete with us or take us out of business. But times change, and I don't think the company is changing in the right way. [/QUOTE]
