[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 1212528, member: 4816"] To be a lot more accurate---Ron Carey was a driver in the North Bronx --Local 804 NYC--where ron's father also was a driver. Jim Kelly was a NJ GUY --hourly and a beginning management person. Had nothing to do with Ron Carey --except when their lives crossed during the fateful 97 negotiations. Jim , Dave M. and Lea S. Did a terrible job with media relations in 97--with a lot of "no comments":sad-little: Ron C loved the cameras and convinced the media and the general public that the 97 strike was over "part time America" --rather than the real truth --who controlled the Pension fund money.:happy-very: I had the opportunity --or some would say the inopportunity of working with and getting to know both men at different times during my long UPS career. I was able to call RC --Uncle Ron way before he became International Teamster head-- and later down the winding road --at various mgmt mtgs --JK -would always kid with me and tell me that I had the "toughest" three minute history summary he had ever heard. Good memories !!:wink2: [/QUOTE]
