[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1053805, member: 29553"] Was it not a victory the stewards getting their jobs back?? UPS management being slapped for wrongly firing Jerry and Greg?? It wasnt total victory but it certainly was a VICTORY!!Those suspensions are also being fought by the union in arbitration. As for "Who fixed the medical?", the answer is clear. Our current e/b fixed the health and welfare funds. If they did not implement the tough changes THAT HAD TO BE MADE, we would have had NO HEALTH AND WELFARE FUNDS!! So you are trying to say that the funds would have magically fixed themselves?? No, a newly elected board came in to office and went to work to fix the problem that was hidden from us the membership for years. What you might not be aware of is that Redmond/Buhlert/Donato had their own plan for saving the funds too. They never got to implement it because we kicked them out of office. From what Ive read and heard, their plan was much much worse. But the biggest scandal was the fact that they NEVER TOLD US how bad things were and that HARD CHOICES had to be made. It took electing new leaders with integrity and balls to grapple with the problems of our local. Do you really think they got in and said: "Hey lets screw the members the first chance we get. Lets raise co pays and fees big time. That'll help us get re-elected!!" LoL!! Brother you have been infected by Buhlert's blather. He lied to us all those years. Why would we believe a thing he said now!! [/QUOTE]
