[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 250971, member: 9859"] It's very unsettling witnessing my brother's and sister's bickering and infighting so prematurely....I've basically tried to stay away from the contract and strike posts until I have the actual proxy mail out forms and the actual contractual agreement. Yes, it's healthy to discuss the rumored purposed changes and added language to a degree and without predjudice.....but it's un-healthy to bash or display negative points on both sides that happened 10 yrs ago. For now,on a positive note, OUR Union has agreed to the terms with UPS which lets face it, is a positive thing that can happen for everyone involved. So lets give the Union the benefit of the doubt until we get the proxy, (eventhough I had some issues years ago not go my way with UPS or the Union), because as hourly's we must not forget we have the best pay, security and benefits in the industry. New Part timers, we know your starting pay rate sux, and hopefully your not relying on this as your main income, but many have been able to work thru the eventual payraise progression and many have remained part timers even with the senority to bid on full time positions or hours. It took many of us twenty years to get into feeders from pkg cars. And our hard work and sacrifies have paid off for the cushy-ist job at UPS(let me throw in responsible also). I guess what I'm trying to say is we all have to pay our dues and don't expect things at UPS to happen overnight. Lets all not jump to conclusions and not bring up what happened 10 years ago.
