[QUOTE="alwaysoverallowed, post: 805690, member: 30645"] Here's some back story on my local to give everyone some perspective: They have not posted any information on they Union board in our building in 2 year We haven't had a quarm in a year because Union meetings' have not been posted or reported Those who show up to the meetings are members on their way out, i.e. close to retirement My 20 is made up of those who I've notified of the meetings through my inter-acting though out my personal time I use a union trash hauler b/c they are union. At Christmas my hauler left me an envelope for a tip I gave him $20 with a note saying union meetings are the 3rd Sunday of the month at 10am(and he has since been there). I inform the beer haulers at my local, and on route, bars about the meetings and they are now there. We all seem to have the same problems...lack of contract enforcement. With this I have decided to ask my local to address the issues of my 20; which actually represent a much larger group. If my local decides to ignore what is really going on I will run. I have yet to decide a group to run with me a slate. If we fail to win any seats on the board I, and we, do not mind, but we want the local to recognize that there is discontent within the union(and local) and that we want stronger contract enforcement. We have already weathered this recession but yet our companies' make millions, and in UPS's case billions, in profits based on over extenuation of the labor. All we want is an honest days work for an honest days pay and we do not feel asthough we are getting that now. [/QUOTE]
