[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 1468228, member: 49302"] Grateful? For what? UPS holding up their end of the bargain? That's the deal they made. I work my @$$ of for a year for just about minimum wage, and I am then entitled to benefits. I'm not grateful... I've earned it, and I intend to vote in my best interest. UPS is not some magnanimous altruistic entity that wants what's best for it's employees... they are corporate profiteers who will greedily pocket any penny they can get their grubby little fingers on. You, the employee, are no longer a benefit to the company... You are a liability and an expense... the one thing that stands between them and higher profits. If UPS could replace us all with 9 year old indonesian slaves tomorrow, they'd do it in a heartbeat, without a second thought to you or me. Conversely, if the Teamsters could find a way to line their pockets off of that arrangement, Hoffa Jr would gladly let it happen. [/QUOTE]
