Insider Information

[Bubblehead]

I had to ask.

(because you know what was coming after that)





See.... there is that passive aggressive insinuation, like it could change the scope of

negotiations. If an elected official bought stock while working as a UPS employee, does

that automatically disqualify them from making sound decisions in favor of UPS ?


Haven't we seen numerous members of this forum, acknowledge they have UPS stock ?

People that are pro-Union and anti-company ?


I know your next question would be, how much do you own ?

The answer is $0.00.

Which sometimes I regret....

I have never taken part in the employee stock purchase program either, even though there was as much as a 10% discount to do so.

Never seemed prudent to invest in a Company that I may have to strike???

Are somehow....

Trying to manipulate the stock market, by leaking information to them ?


Is that what I'm reading ?

It is kinda funny, but not so much when you consider its the future of the teamsters.

How much more will stock drop when it gets voted down everyone better print your vote no shirts I'm ordering 1000 Monday

What I have read on there, it is just the press release information, they know nothing more than do we.

IMO, they should have not released that a TA was reached until all supplements/riders were settled.

The company released it for the same reason the union GP dumped Sean O.

" If an elected official bought stock while working as a UPS employee, does that automatically disqualify them from making sound decisions in favor of UPS?"

--- No, but I would strongly argue it all depends on how much stock they own , Would it not?
If they own a large amount , surely human nature would suggest there may be an unavoidable and inherent conflict of interest.
( which in my view should require someone to sell off or step down if that was the case )

" Haven't we seen numerous members of this forum acknowledge they have UPS stock? "
--- This is clearly a different situation than someone on or involved in a negotiating committee assuming that " numerous members of this forum" are presumed to be of the rank and file hourly classification and do not hold enough power to sway the direction of any particular contract ( their individual vote amongst a sea of thousands would not count imo ).

Nobody said "insider trading"?....that's illegal.

I agree, but the conspiracy alluded to could make the imagination run wild. We are in the innerwebs after all. Have at it.

Only when you are caught.

I'm going to further qualify this statement.


A former Official of my Local (feeder driver) who was elected in to office before me

bought every bit of stock he could, as a UPS employee. Probably to the point, where he

and his family ate "baloney on hand". He was a miser.


Unleashing him on the company was like watching a rabid dog.

He wouldn't give up, even if he knew he couldn't win.


The point being....

Never make assumptions.

I believe he was saying that UPS and the Teamsters shouldn't have released that, not the magazine. I expect better comprehension out of you. Didn't they teach that at that diploma mill half a loaf of bread P* school you went to
