[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 805415, member: 17969"] In every yard, there is always someone who believes he's the next great leader of the Teamsters. Its sort of funny in some cases. In my building, we have a guy, bout 35, married with 3 kids. This guy is an "aggitator" for the company, he files over 200 grievances a year and NOT one of them is ever upheld in his favor. He runs around trying to drum up support for his "point man" status, and for the most part, we all laugh at him. He comes in everyday and finds some reason to start a pissing match with his supervisors and CTR manager. At the end of the day, he finds himself terminated at least twice a year for the last 2 years. The drivers in his center stay clear of him and dont want to be associated with him with union issues. He has made a mockery out of the stewards position in his center and his reputation has grown into a teamsters version of a rock thrower like you would see in egypt. Now, He wants to run for office! Our local is up for election this year, and this guy is out front talking about how he's gonna put UPS in its place. Unfortunately, he doesnt stand a chance in hell of winning an election here in SO.Cal but he does have about 5 people who will stand up for him. Those 5 are the type who are always in trouble, been fired, cant show up for work ontime, cant do the job correctly, always complain and generally are the center pains in the ASH. He says similiar things, "hoffa this, hoffa that", "hall this, hall that"....blah blah blah... He will end up spending thousands of dollars he will have to borrow for a campaign to nowhere, spend his days standing in front of hubs talking about his strong positions on the contract and on election day, I will beat him without breaking a sweat. Reputation means everything. I am a former executive officer with over 15 years experience dealing with contracts in 5 different industries. I have sat at the table for 3 UPS contracts, negotiated new protections in our package rider and negotiated for language in our West Supplemental. Tough talk sounds good in the mirror, but when the rubber meets the road, who would you want in your corner? A rock thrower? or A finisher? Peace. [/QUOTE]
