I have never hidden the fact that I am not a strong advocate of our union; however, I have never complained about the union.
What could you possibly complain about? Your going to make $32 an hour, you get ot after 8, your 6th day of work is ot, you have the best medical plan, paid vacations, optional days,pension, etc..... Really now why would one not be interested in being a union advocate? But I'm sure your find something to complain about, so lets here it.
I have a simple solution for your problem: If the prices for items in the vending machine are too high, simply bring your own from home.
Now you must have stayed at a holiday inn last night! Now your playing a union steward and you know whats best for the members! Just out of curiosity were should the ptimers store their snacks? They do not have lockers like us!
Don't waste the time and efforts of both the union and company by pursuing this grievance.
See now the union gets paid to look out for the best interests of the members, so this is not a waste of time when you have a big group of members upset, this is called a grievance. The company can just go ahead and lower the prices and i will be glad to withdraw the grievance with rights.
BTW, wasn't the topic of this thread using UPS Freight employees to transport UPS packages?
