[QUOTE="Asskicker, post: 1126093, member: 45097"] Hey Stink I think you are a bit brainwashed. Obviously we are all Union and all want to stand together and all would support the Union in efforts to battle corporate greed and help any of our fellow working men and women. But you talk way too far from the other extreme. There has been corruption in the Union going back how far? You talk like "just because" these people are employed by the Union they are wonderful, trustworthy, never take a bribe kind of people. Really??? I think you are much smarter then that. You have to watch your back with the Union also. There are great people working within the Union, there are also scumbags that are giving themselves big raises, and I won't mention any names, while we bust our asses and Hoffa and Hall give the company things back during contract negotiations. What pisses me off the most is when they quote hall, and this is in the Teamster "Rah, Rah" newsletter...saying "We will not pay $90, $9, or 9 cents for our healthcare!!!!! UPS has made a huge profit and we will not give concessions...Blah...Blah.......Blah." And what is he now doing? Giving concessions. Don't talk a big game and then crumble. Shut the friend up if you're not going to follow through with what you say. And this isn't coming from any other source but the Teamsters themselves. All the rallies, all the stickers saying "protect our health care"...all smoke and mirrors. If you're going to talk the talk then walk the walk. Just keep an open mind and don't trust them 100% either because it might come back and bite you in the Ass. I've seen it. My eyes are open on both sides of my head these days!!! [/QUOTE]
