[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 912892, member: 29972"] I think it's just more of an issue with the "weaker" unions and/or unions that have lost the motivation to get things done. Other unions have been able to succeed and/or survive just fine despite current economic conditions. I know many electricians and plumbers and police that have no complaints about their union, and seem to be very happy with their jobs. Looking at the history of teamsters with UPS, the union leaders used to be much more motivated and accomplished a lot more than anything we see nowadays. I think every time we sign a new contract it immediately becomes the "weakest" contract in UPS history, showing the weakest amount of improvement in wages, benefits, etc.. It would be interesting to graph all the previous contracts in UPS history showing the percentage increase of wages and benefits. I'd bet that this last contract showed the least percentage increase in any category. [/QUOTE]
