[QUOTE="EyesLookingIn, post: 998431, member: 29664"] Unable to attend the meeting was upset because wanted to see the fireworks from Billy and Tony D. Talk to a friend that went he said the place was packed like he has never seen before. More then half the room was part timers and at least 75% of the room were supporting our E Board. He said that most people were wearing the contract brown teeshirts. He said it was a good meeting and that Tim and Pete sounded very strong and acted like leaders. He also said that you would have no clue that an election was coming up because no one said anything. He said he didn't see Angelo but Billy was there but he never got up. He said that the theme of the meeting was getting our local to be united and to get behind our board so that we can get a strong contract. Wish I could have been there our old board always cancelled the summer meeting which I always thought was wrong. The number 1 issue I hear people talking about is our pension now we have a board that will fight for us on this issue. Our Board will not sit back and let Hoffa just tell us what to take they will fight. Our old board were nothing more then a bunch of pawns for Hoffa and UPS that only cared about how much money they were making. Angelo, Tony, Billy, John and Steve these are all people from our old board we the members know what they got us in the last 2 contracts NOTHING our pension has not gone up in 15 years. We must give our current E Board the chance to negotiate this contract and see what they can do for our membership. We all know what the old board did. [/QUOTE]
