I was referring to my original statement. You can’t change things from the outside.
One step closer
- Thread starter Time for change
- Start date
Your post is good for a chuckle, at least.
Uneducated? Can you provide me with any proof of that fact?
Spoiled? Aren't we all. Those of us lucky enough to live in the states to be having this debate are quite blessed.
Dues dodging? Not really sure where you are getting that. Reference, please?
There was a lot of name calling, and crying, in that post, but not much else.

Obviously you people don’t care about our dues or anything about us, so you should all be happy we aren’t associated with you anymore if this contract passes. Everyone can be happy then

Then you can’t complain anymore, and as such your posts are more meaningless now, more than ever.

Lol!! The funniest part is many of us “uneducated” have equal or more education than the guy in charge of negotiating this contract for a quarter million people.

A). You don’t strike a contract when your getting a $129,000 to pension. $4.15 cent raise. $445.00 a week paid to healthcare. A retiree package and part time raises, healthcare and pension. Have you lost all ability to reason?
B) nobody knows if their supplements and riders protect their workday workweek
C) this quitter Time for Zchange is telling people to stop paying dues because the union does nothing (See A)

I am chuckling too. Some of us need and rely on the union and some don’t. Maybe if gap was narrowed just a little bit, I’d feel like I need the union too. Right to work baby, God Bless the USA

You are clueless and your financial core stand is ridiculous.

Garbage. You reap the benefits of labor and get a free ride by not paying dues. That’s callled a free loader. You probably let your buddies buy the rounds at the bar and skip out when it’s your turn.

What is ridiculous is two “skilled” people with the same seniority date, doing the same job, having a different pay rate. That’s ridiculous and I’ll make that dollar up very easily, thanks.

....and pay their dues?
I'm all for maximum participation, within a process designed to protect millions, but again I assert that being a "sheepdog" isn't for everyone, can't be??
Seriously @BigUnionGuy, where did I lose you in this analogy???

Rarely, is any point lost on me.
As a veteran Union Steward, I'm sure you have encountered the feelings of being a
glorified babysitter. A persons patience for dealing with the chronically passive UPS Union
employee has it's limits. "Nut up.... or shut up" is a common rallying cry.
Just say'n.

“Nut up or shut up”
No wonder women have such a difficult time dealing with men in the Teamsters/UPS environment. Luckily you’re old and almost out because times are a changing, not that I believe any of you talk to your wife like you talk to women at UPS.

Union employees who vote aren't passive. Period.
That's our part.
If you're a union steward, then your job is to represent your union brothers.
You sound like you have an attitude problem. If we are so tiresome, step down, and let someone else represent.
Your job is to rally us. To educate us. To fight for us. To keep us a team.
The union isn't checking any of those boxes right now.
You seem to be part of the problem, rather than the solution.

I’ve voted every election and go to most meetings, feel like I’ve been involved. Unfortunately my patience has run out, and it’s time I, and many others, take a stand.

What have you done for me.... lately ?
If you think you can beat me @ the ballot box, have at it.
Just don't sit there and passively whine.
