[QUOTE="JadedBull, post: 1300719, member: 52427"] I am new here. I saw this forum and thought that Teamsters would get together and work out the problems that the company keeps putting us though as far as the walkout on 2/26/14. There is a lot of support from what seems to be the "Brown" family (Brown Spider, 804 Brown, real Brown 1,browned out, brown eye1, etc.). I am from Maspeth, have over 2 decades there. There is way more to it than a 3-4 minute video of our pissed off B.A. I was part of the walkout that day that lasted better than 90 minutes. Liam got pissed off at the company because they broke the contract. Have for a while and it gets obscenely worse every day. That has been shown here. The drivers walked out and [B]STAYED OUT FOR WAY PAST THE 3 minute speech our B.A. Gave!!! [/B]That was because we are fed up with their made up contract terms such as non-working 72's. We are tired of made up dishonesty and being walked for non cardinal sins. We are fed up with the contract meaning nothing to UPS! I read some of these comments on here and I can't believe the upstate stinky no voting people. You people are calling for Liam to resign?!? Why because the company says he is wrong? Because the company is [U]once again[/U] breaking the contract!! No arbitrator said the walkout is against the contract! Only UPS did, and they are walking us. They are the evil poisonous stomach turners that are making this decision out of arrogance. They don't have to destroy families, they [B]CHOOSE [/B]to!! As they do it, they are :censored:ing laughing and joking and making comments like nice working with you. Stop a minute and actually picture it. Why aren't they being called out here!! I am waiting to see my fate in this, but I know deep in my heart, as well as Every single driver i talked to but one, that walking was the right thing (and he changed his mind now and stands with us). Liam is OUR B.A. And we want him to stay!! Who are you guys anyway from outside our local calling for Liam and our board to resign!! Do you even :censored:ing know Liam??
