[QUOTE="noazrk, post: 3672749, member: 22243"] I'm also obviously upset about how senior P.T. people aren't properly represented in the tentative agreement (see my 2 threads). I also just got a nice chuckle from the UPS Rising email today quoting Rick Pohlig about what a great contract is being proposed (yeah because his top pay's going up to $40+ and pension $5 more at the end of the contract). BUT even if we don't get any of the stuff I'm fighting for I'm not here to bash the union. I will NEVER quit the Teamsters and I'm unlikely to quit my job. Without union representation we would get ZERO pension, ZERO trust account, forget about free legal services, I would have to pay at least $200 a month for just medical let alone dental & vision vs. the $0 we pay, and of course they could just give me the boot whenever they wanted to if I slow down physically. I don't even want to call Denis T corrupt like many on here. I WOULD like an explanation as to why he stopped fighting for a P.T. catch up raise and how/why UPS is willing to give us $5 in pension contributions but the same raises from 10 years ago when the starting wage goes up 30+%! We senior workers already lost a $1.50 gap in the current contract which went unaddressed so new hires are catching up to us by $5.50 an hour......and it's not because we're at top pay. [/QUOTE]
