[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1044424, member: 29553"] Yes there are 13 buildings but only 11 of the E/B cover UPs facilities. Tim is the president. He doesnt have a ups building. He and Jim the sec treasurer split the outside shops. They both focus on running the local and its finances and the funds. The remaining 11 board members cover all the 13 buildings but remember there are several shifts in every building. Plus there are board members who cover the Feeders too. Yes there is 24 hr representation. Everyday ups is moving packages, at least one union official is on duty somewhere in the local. That is a fact. It is totally impossible for those guys to be in their buildings every hour ups works. The job encompases more than being in a building. Remember the old board wouldnt be caught dead in a building after 5pm or before 8am. As for restoring this local to what it was under Carey, those days will never return. Tim is smart and he tells us the truth but he is not Ron Carey. It was a different time back then. This company was a different animal. It lost its soul 10-15 years ago. The backward slide in this local began under redmond and buhlert and donato. Tim and the e/b did not endorse those 2 concessionary contracts; they didnt almost bankrupt our funds; they didnt accept the dishonesty language. the remaining remnants of that old guard buhlert, donato, guarella, nemeth and medina ALL DID!! And yes the new board did take a HUGE pay cut (from $150k to $115k and no more matching 401k) BUT THEY ACTUALLY CARE AND THEY SHOW UP SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK!!I guess you cant imagine a board actually working longer hours for less money. it sounds insane but thats why they ran in the first place. They wanted to make the members proud to be in this local once again like when ron was here. Though ron is gone in one respect, he legacy is in good hands with this board. On the first day in office they restored Ron's picture on the walls of the union hall. The home that ron built!! But redmond/buhlert/donato pissed it all away in 10 years!! Never again!! [/QUOTE]
