[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 956604, member: 37112"] The air traffic controllers were screwed by a President who promised support as a candidate and acted far differently as President. Although PATCO members went on an illegal strike, few remember their expressed concerns over safety issues, that did receive attention only after they were fired. It may have costs them their jobs but they had the stones to stand up for what they believed, and all air travellers are safer because of what they did. L804 members elected this board to do what the last guys wouldn't do. These guys aren't the deal makers that ran all over the members a few short years ago, nearly bankrupting the Pension and Health Funds. Remember the last contract offer Howie and Tony put their support behind? You'd be under that contract had Tim and Co not stood up. Of course these guys aren't perfect, but they're miles ahead of what they replaced. Scabbie, it's a two way street. UPS succeeds because of the workers. UPS would destroy themselves without the union. Arbitrations are expensive but they give a local a decent chance of success. Go to a Panel system and UPS will own L804. How lonely you must be hiding under your bed, or should I say Tony's bed. [/QUOTE]
