[QUOTE="brett636, post: 773068, member: 249"] If you would pay attention to the context where I am using the word "union" you would notice that my reference is to all dues paying members and its leadership. They are all responsible in some way for costing the city of Indianapolis all those good paying jobs. Also, I am going to have to let you know that I fall into neither category of person that you tried to fit me into. I am a dues paying UPS teamster member for over 10 years, and I have attended the majority of my local's monthly meetings since we got a BA who gives a damn. I never have, nor will I ever buy into the mentality that every penny the company makes should go to its workers. The company has every right to a profit as that is the very reason it exists, and honestly I prefer that they do because that is my best indication that I will continue to have a job in these uneasy economic times. It is you, my friend, who has bought too easily into the mantra that you should "bite the hand that feeds" when that may end up in you not getting fed. [/QUOTE]
