[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1287650, member: 12570"] If this were indeed true then why didn't the whole building walk? These drivers knew full well that what they were doing may cost them their jobs. No one put a gun to their heads and forced them to walk off the job. Why should they? The drivers knew that their supplement strictly prohibited what their BA was telling them to do yet they went ahead and walked anyway. Job abandonment. What about the drivers who did the right thing by working that day? What should the IBT do for those drivers, especially if the union is able to get back pay for the drivers who walked? I'm sorry if I come across as sounding harsh but these are grown men and women who are capable of making up their own minds. If they are foolish enough to listen to a rogue BA then they deserve to lose their jobs. [/QUOTE]
