They had a meeting. Asked what we wanted, he told them. Then Boom! Impasse.

In 2 of the last 3 locals the local leadership was against the members. Coming to all buildings and spewing out the hoffa/hall LIES... It was all a game that they were losing and in the end the did the unthinkable... There was no legit 2 man... These elected officers don't go against the grain and do whatever hoffa/hall tell them to do! They don't give a crap how their members vote!!

What was the amendment? We weren't told they added anything. We were only told that they used article 21 (I'm probably wrong) because it dealt with the situation. I looked it up and it seemed to be legit. I have no idea if it was added right before the move though.
Interesting. But your guy is playing you. Who is your guy?
He ain't playing me. He worked with me for many many years. He knows what needs to be fixed here.
Who's your guy?

No ..our second contract was forced on us...ing Hoffa and Hall. Took away the rest of our rights.
That's laughable. Your rights were taken away. LOL!
Right to vote on a contract. They have no problem taking my dues money.....little hint. They are supposed tonwork for us.

So how long should that politcal game go on? Till UPS loses customers and members get laid off? The E Board had the right to do it and they did. If you don't like it change the Constitution. I think they did the right thing.

I have to be a 100k whore to put that 14% in there and live the 1950's dream of the wife staying home with the kids. You see the price of freaking groceries lately.
What they did was give UPS more leverage. They will put out a few crumbs to get the next contract to pass. Then lowball everyone else dragging their heels waiting for another impasse.
The damage is done.

Annoy a liberal today. Hit them with facts.
And who are you to tell him anything when it comes to his negotiations with the company?
You support your union brothers when they are in negotiations.
You don't stab them in the back, and say that they are asking for too much.
It's not your place.

As long as it takes to settle with those locals.
I can't believe you asked such a question.
Who is your guy?
I don't give out names.

In typical fashion no answer. How long should it have been dragged out? and How many should have been laid off?
Why even bother voting on a contract. Let's just accept what they offer next time.
That's pretty much how you sound.

Not laid off. If need be a strike. Should have been negotiated unil our members got either what they want or at least given an opportunity to vote.

When a local that has 9000 people (Local 89) can hold up a contract for the rest of the 500,000 members for political reasons then there's obviously a dysfunction. Thats not democracy it's extorsion.
