[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 883110, member: 17969"] Umm, your not to quick with "uptake" are you? Nevermind, it was a complicated joke about the movie, and I guess you missed it. To your points, I dont really know if you and I work for the same UPS? Why are you so fired up? Your talking about strikes and profits and account holders? What for? Do you believe that negotiating the next contract should begin with a threat to strike? UPS has informed the UNION that it intends on negoitating the next contract early, just like it did in the last contract. We came nowhere near the august 31st deadline. UPS has no intention of getting to the deadline this time either. It knows the Teamsters want some changes in package, feeder , part time and 22.3 and those wont be easy to settle. At the end of the day, each committee must be prepared, informed and ready to present a plan for each article of the NMA that needs change. Each local must negoitate their own package riders and sort riders, and each region must negotiate supplementals. These are the responsiblity of the locals and not HOFFA. If the national master agreement doesnt provide good language that you are satisfied with , then your package rider or sort rider should fill in the gap and provide those protections. If you are saying that you dont believe Hoffa would strike UPS because of his "friendly" association with UPS, then you must be saying Sandy Pope is prepared to call a strike against UPS and I can guarantee you my friend, the majority of UPSers wouldnt support that action. If Sandy Pope is representing that she is prepared to strike UPS before a good faith negotiation, then that alone is reason enough not to vote for her. I do not subscribe to TDU or their information, and I am plenty informed. I am not worried. There is no need for panic or fist waving. This isnt the 20's. Peace. [/QUOTE]
