[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1128330, member: 31414"] Thank you over9five.. I have worked with all kinds of stewards over the years. Unfortunately, there are a number of stewards (and I have worked with a number of them) that will do and say ANYTHING that aligns with their Local BA, IBT, etc.. I call these the "hound dogs" of the Local. If the BA says "run".... the steward will take off with no questions asked. While allegiance can be an admirable quality , it can also lead to dangerous outcomes..... History will show a whole list of "leaders" that often "misled" those that followed. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Jones]Jim Jones - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] I just received my letter today from our Local which is basically the same thing listed on the Teamster.org site. It sickens me to read the political type rhetoric such as; "This is a great day for the Teamsters Union" said General President Jim Hoffa. UPS'ers are the backbone of the Teamsters Union and we are manipulated in a manner that best serves the Union in general rather than UPS employees specifically. Notice, the letter specifically stated "A GREAT DAY for the TEAMSTERS UNION".....not necessarily UPS'ers. IMHO, we are all pawns in this big game of chess between the IBT and UPS. [/QUOTE]
