[QUOTE="coolslice, post: 4086074, member: 50491"] The union is worthless these days. Homers say, "Oh, go work somewhere else as see if you make as much money." Any semi-intelligent person should be able to see that the only reason we make so much money (as drivers) is because that's what UPS HAS to pay to attract and retain employees. As you might have noticed, these days the pay isn't enough anymore. I think far too may people at UPS have become institutionalized and have blocked out all of the negatives of the job and only focus on pay and benefits. To most people, money isn't everything when looking for a job. Very few of the older, pro-union guys would last a month if they had to come in under this new contract. I know I wouldn't. Who wants to take a job where the only day you know you're going to work is saturday? These people are looking at 4-5 years of hell before they start making any decent money. I think guys that have been here 25 years and have rural routes that go out with 70 stops would change their tunes if they were on rock piles with 200 stops making $18/hr. [/QUOTE]
