[QUOTE="joseph, post: 997705, member: 1005"] Has anyone notice how well UPS operations are working. It seems they are running on all eight cylinders! No drivers yelling at management or arguments no complaints no one writing up grievances except the steward. Supervisors and managers working, even when the E/B is watching. Management has no fear. I give the stewards a lot of credit, they have their hands full but I swear they have no backing. Two stewards got fired for almost a year for following the E/B direction. They were paid using members money, not that I am complaining but there was no vote. But more important, we lost power. The stewards did get their jobs back, but 53 drivers lost three days pay, again they were paid with members money, and we were sued for lost of revenue, the E/B still has not kept us informed on what is going on. The arbitrator did the right thing with the stewards but came down hard on the drivers, we lost! We lost big! I go to these union meetings and hear the E/B pound their collective chest on the dais about how great things are going, the only thing they have done is make our union weak and got hundreds of drivers fired. Remember, Its not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog! You don't hear anyone at the work place, anyone saying how great the E/B has been. It's hard to find someone who would admit they voted row B, accept on brown cafe. [/QUOTE]
