Uh oh! He's pulling the war hero card! There are a lot of x-military out there who don't need to resort to such a ridiculous statement to communicate...

When you're a sep sup that can't open an airplane door you tend to fall back and revel in the glory of the past. I just wonder how many of his fellow soldiers he tattled on.

When is the E-board going to get it through their thick skulls that we are going to pay for our health care just like the pilots do. We just need to make up the difference in wages. I guess they would rather see us on the street instead of paying for health care. Sounds like a great plan. Get your resumes ready boys!

Nobody knows what the Union is asking for or what UPS wants. Its time UPS's best offer is presented to the membership so we can see what we are fighting about!

Talk to this guy brownIEman. He's on of our ex-AMT's who is ready to give UPS anything they want! Spineless and mindless.
If this is true why are there so many statements that UPS is not negotiating in good faith, etc.?
Most of my information consists if little more than hints and whispers, but its enough to convince me that whoever learns the secret of the Dominion, whatever that may be, will learn the secret of the Gamma Quadrent. Which is why, if you're smart, you don't do buisness with the Ferengi.

Here is the deal, UPS will give us a 2%raise, every 18 months, but pay 250 bucks a month for health care with a 7% increase each 12 months. NO RETRO, a signing bonus of 7500 bucks instead of full RLA required pay for 4 years of us without while Grade 20s get fat wallets. What about Scott Davis? What about Grade 20s. MIP will be handed out soon and all sups will be rolling in the dough that Davis has fed them. I am asked to take a pay cut so we can buy more jets, hand more MIP to our bosses and pay Davis 640% more. I feel that we will be released from Mediation after Nov talks go in the tank and we all will be able to walk after Thanksgiving. If we are able to get a fair deal then in 2013 the drivers will not be asked to pay for health care. Brothers and Sisters in 2013 we will stand with you at your line when UPS ask you to pay for health care.

Just wondering where you got those numbers? I've heard worse, particulary the signing bonas number. At any rate being released by the mediator is the last thing we need. This time next year will be our time! Take the TRAINING WHEELS OFF!
767mech any words of wisdom?

yeah, I am an ex AMT ready to give UPS everything, and don't you forget it! I was the best AMT ever too! Never in the history of the industry was there a better AMT! While I did the job, I won the AMT of the year every year! The international title mind you.
uhh, can someone tell me what an AMT is?

AIRBUSFXR,
You continue to amaze me. You constantly talk about the grade 20's. You are not a grade 20 and therefore should not be concerned with what they get. I can assure you the MIP will be mini
scual for most of the management people. Besides anything they get will not offset the loss in 401k match, no raise, and the increase in medical contribution. The aircraft mechanics I know are great people and have been loyal employees who do a good job everyday, but to keep mentioning what the grade 20's get is a real stretch.
Next you'll be worried about the board of directors. You guys already make more money than most business managers and full time supervisors. In my eyes no hourly employee should ever make more than their boss!
I hope you get a fair contract, but I would be very surprised to see the company ever give in on the medical contribution. You are 100% right when you say this will be the next big issue in the next teamster contract. Face it, your going to have to contribute towards the cost, because the idiots in Washington aren't going to resolve the whole medical insurance issue and companies just can't continue to pay these continuing escalating cost increases.
REMEMBER THE BIG FISH ALWAYS EATS THE LITTLE ONES

AMT=AIrcraft Maintenance Technician. Or in Unionmans case Knuckle Dragging Mechanic.

Hotline message begging for Darmento to return to testify for hearing. Will you go Joe? Maybe Combine should personally call you and apologize and beg you on behalf of the greater good? Will Joe accept such an apology?

We might make more than a package sup. but we don't make more than our Aircraft Maintenance Sup's. I'm not taking a paycut.

I agree with you 100% about not taking a paycut-I don't like it.
Change is a funny thing though. When UPS gets rid of all the GOOD aircraft maintenance supervisors, unfortunately, then your quote above would be moot...
Go Darmento!
