[QUOTE="Damok, post: 251928, member: 11945"] I would be curious to see, when the details are available to me on Saturday, whether or not the tentative agreement follows the mandate given by the people who filled out the questionnaire early on. If I recall correctly the majority of people who responded wanted pensions and health care issues addressed above wages. If that ends up being the case then it would seem that cries of "more money" are without merit regardless of what Eskew makes. I think people seem to forget themselves a bit when these types of discussions come about. People come out of the woodwork (I'll include myself in that group :) ) expressing an opinion about this or outrage at that but lose sight of the big picture failing to take into account the many factors that directly relate to a national agreement. Without wanting to sound too wishy washy I would remind people to see that we have it pretty good at UPS whether you're a Teamster or not (and yes, I am :) ) tempering your desire for "more" with a pragmatic view of economics would serve us all well in the coming days.
