[QUOTE="SteeltownBrown, post: 3964055, member: 29222"] Respectfully disagree with you on the blame everyone part. I personally had no problem with the first supplement. I believe a lot of the no vote was based on pent up anger from the last contract being forced down our throats. But that said, how can the union agree to place a worse offer to a vote? At very least they could have bargained for a small bump in the part time pension cap, say to $1400 a month after 25 years. It would cost the company nothing since hardly anyone works part time that long. Then they could come back saying they got us a better offer. As I asked before, doesn't the union have the right to say no? We are stuck in the middle with the feeling that nobody is really looking out for our interests. The problem is that UPS doesn't care how long this takes because they get to hold on to the back pay money. The union is licking their chops to get the increased dues money. The membership fully expects to get the backside slam from the company but we don't expect the union that we give our hard earned money to every week to be standing in line for sloppy seconds.
