Election Candidate Information

[scratch]

@scratch is a long term, (higher seniority) employee.

I certainly respect that.


But.... I have to disagree with his opinion of "change them out".


Reason being;

UPS is difficult enough to deal with.

They take advantage of rookies. That's what they want.


Where do you think the monetary funding for TDU.... comes from ?

*Employers, like UPS.*


That has always been the reason, why TDU won't open their books.

And I respect your views, you come across as a standup guy and you post good info. I really don't pay much attention to the executive board anymore. Local 728 has done a great job in Atlanta, I've known the president and BAs for decades. I used to run around with the nephew of Weldon L Mathis back in the day. Mathis was the IBT Secretary General and interim president back when Jackie Presser stepped down. Mathis got voted out in an executive board power play a few months later, this was in 1988. Mathis had to step down from running 728 by the DOJ later. The stories I could tell about what I know!

I have never been a fan of Jr. and I don't think the other would be any better. I just think we need term limits. Jr. will win hands down on name recognition plus he has a lot more money. Usually all the candidates come out to my Hub campaigning, I didn't see anybody this year.

Another thing that wasn't negotiated. A lot of givebacks in this contract.

They scan the barcode to make sure that you are a current member. The counting is done by a third party who couldn't care less about the election or who you voted for. They are paid to validate membership and scan the ballots.

couldn't care less

I'd just like to point out that this is is CORRECT usage of this phrase. "Could care less" shouldn't be a thing. Unless you're the ghost of @jumpman23. Then you get a free pass.

I will admit that I had to think twice before posting that.

Can't blame ya. We see it the wrong way so often.

The day after Thanksgiving for starters. They threw that in after the fact, just like they did with the over 70's. Remember we went on a one day strike over that.??

We all knew that was coming to an end--- it was just a matter of when.

 

[Jkloc420]

some reason I think a lot of us will be working Saturday this peak.

 

[Jkloc420]

I thought that was already in the contract.
All holidays can become working days based on seniority.
UPS has to pay you extra though.

It used to be an air operations day only.
Whatever. One more contract and I'm outta here.
