[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 5102954, member: 17867"] Short answer is yes. I have a choice. Right now business is booming and we are pulling down $7k a week. I’d rather make a bit less and work less but I’ll take more time off in February. I didn’t bother reading the article since it came from CNN the Voice of Communism instead I just look st the actual figures. In first nine months of year, due to work by Teamsters, other union and non union employees our customers paid in over $69 billion. UPS shareholders (includes almost every person with a diversified 401k or IRA) pocketed a $7.5 billion profit. A bit over 10% of the money customers paid in. Love it, a great return, especially coming into contract time. Meanwhile UPS employees shared just under $34 billion. That’s about half the money coming in going to the workers. Sorry I don’t feel “exploited”. Maybe if I made $15/hr and paid for medical I would. [/QUOTE]
