[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1159928, member: 29553"] Today I talked to a lot of drivers about why they voted NO on the supplement. Everyone said basically the same answer: "This is local 804. We always vote down the first offer." When I asked part timers why they voted the supplement down, they said "because of the health care changes...we are getting screwed...at least you guys got a pension increase...until we get some respect the rest of you will suffer". I understand his pain but in truth the national actually increased his pension by a few hundred dollars. He was just so pissed about the health care changes that he never noticed. Also he didn't care that the supplement allowed for 100 new ft jobs (he has been asking for years). Im getting a feeling the NO vote was directed at the national contract. That most wanted to throw a wrench in the process and see what happens. Some drivers even spoke about making UPS sweat as it gets closer to August!! None of them even heard of that little vote NO website. 14 other locals vote down their supplements too. I guess they figured they couldn't stop the national from passing so lets vote our supplement down and see what happens!! I see the reasoning behind that. Just a shame because our supplement had some really good things in it. Lets see what happens!! [/QUOTE]
