[QUOTE="804brown, post: 801151, member: 29553"] I agree.The UNION, as a collective, is only as strong as its members! The 11 or 12 or 13 of them in the hall cannot solve all our problems alone. Along with strong activist stewards willing to go above and beyond, and 7000 members behind them willing to stand up for themselves and get involved and learn what's in the contract and work to enforce that contract. And yes it means coming to union meetings (we only have 4 per year), attending educational meetings, and coming in a little earlier to have a parking lot meeting before work. Being in a union means ACTING like a union- acting as ONE. Calling the new board names at this point only harms our SOLIDARITY and makes us weaker. In 2 years we can have that discussion. Right now UPS has put a target on ALL of our backs. A divided union only helps them win. Try , honestly try to put the health of our union ahead of any personal ambitions some members may have.
