UPS Union Issues
Why are some UPS employees members of two unions? I'm confused!

[QUOTE="Cezanne, post: 163141, member: 5104"] I really don't blame you guys with the AWPA with being pissed off with the teamster leadership. I have a bone or two to pick with them also, but the reality is that currently it is the TEAMSTERS union that is negotating with the company. This pension issue is going to come to a conclusion one way or another with this next contract. Most of the members who would be interesting in an early retirement clause are not going to trust their futures on a fly-by-night upstart union, not when you are dealing with a corporate giant like UPS. Study the last Canadian contract and see the tactics, the threat of pulling out of the country basically forced the workers to accept the contract. With the United States teamsters being national, it would be hard for this kind of tactic. Even if you gain a foothill in a right to work state, what bargaining power would you have with that closed shop sceniro. [/QUOTE]
