My guess is the poster changed the wording in the quote to reflect something the quoted poster did not mean or intend.
That is against the Terms of Service of Brown Cafe unless it is indicated as "I fixed it for you".
I believe you have complained about this behavior by others when they change your post in a quote.
Another possibility is the poster screwed up the quote by accidentally changing the "Quote" parameters.

Yes I am aware of this and understand where you are coming from. I don't mind peak and being blown out from top to bottom, front to back but when its all year round it starts to get old i guess.
No way man. Sometimes quotes get mixed together with the post. All I do is separate them so you can see who said what.
Nothing was changed.
Good question, tho.

Yes, I do see a big raise as a good thing. Of course you would not. I realized your one of the negative people that will do everything to disrupt.
Part timers will now have better driving opportunities they never had before. They have the ability of reducing their progression while driving for seasonal work. How is this not an improvement?
You call yourself "The Other Side"? What side is that? The negative side?
Peace,

Stink- why not support making ALL pkg car and feeder jobs full-time? When there is not enough driving work they could go back inside. That would be better than expanding the use of part-timers on the road. Please think about this for a few moments before you take it as an attack on your views.
No attack taken.
That is an amazing idea! A better idea is to make every job a full time gig. But everything isn't as easy as just doing it. This business has changed dramatically in the last 15 years. UPS isn't the only one to blame. Their are so many factors people don't take into account. Like someone on BC suggested a raise that would deplete UPS's reserves, essentially sending them broke.
But back to your point.
The difficulty lies in structuring the full time position once back inside. Not every building has back to back shifts. So do we have some people take an 8 hour lunch? The amount of money in the increased full time jobs will be amazing. The reduction in volume of stock will cause people to withdraw money in wall street. Etc.
Look man, I wish every person at UPS could make a million bucks an hour. Some people on here would complain that I said only a million. Lol. The reality is, UPS should remain a powerful profitable company. If they have 4 billion, should we be taking the whole thing?

Cool, I thought you changed HIS quote. It didn't seem to fit what HE usually says.

I don't hear many NO voters talking about making alot more money. But when this contract takes money out of our pocket in the form of higher insurance costs, it's a NO vote for us. You just don't seem to be able to understand that.
I want UPS to remain profitable and have their profits increase, but not by taking away from us what we already enjoy.
I don't really know why I am wasting my time with you explaining this, you obviously never make up your own mind. What ever Hoffa wants, right?

Funny.... that was the prevailing attitude in Union freight.
You might want to look in to that.

No problem.
So cute!
Doesn't Paff's dik tell you how to vote?

Oh Yeah
My gut feeling sais the contract will pass. Do i want to see it pass nope. I think theres too many questions about the health care that are left unanswered. The whole deal about 4 year progression is bs and i think alot of people already know this. I think there will be alot of people who dont vote such as part timers and numbnutt full timers who dont give a damm or are just too stupid to vote. I myself could be like one of these selfish people who vote yes because they only care about themselves, as i am already double covered on health insurance as i am on my wifes insurance also and i have 3 different aflac policies(CRITICAL ILLNESS,HOSPITALIZATION AND LONG TERM DISSABILITY). Yeah i could be selfish but im not the type of dude thats going to leave a fallen man behind screw that! Unfortunately we dont all think alike but the ones who care about other fellow workers welfare i feel ya and im witcha lol. We all know if it comes back as a no vote were not going to strike thats commonsense it aint going to happen. Go back to the table and give us a better deal and lets get er done WORD!
