[QUOTE="rocketman, post: 127674"] If you don't like paying dues then call your union hall and get out. You guys think the whole union is UPS. It's not. There are many fine companies and even townships in the Teamsters. When you do resign from the union make sure to tell your supervisors and all the drivers loaders unloaders what you did. If you cant afford the tax deductible dues you should not be in the teamsters or any other union. What the dues are now is really not much for what we get. You or I really cant even comprehend the fights or negotiations that went on or are still going on. UPS and other companys complain. They hate giving up money like anyone. But without the teamsters and other unions some of the strongest companies would not need gaurd shacks, they would just need a revolving door. A lot of teamster jobs were lost over the years but it's in part due to goverment regulations, not because of supervisor mo, curly or sue. The founder of UPS wanted his employees to work hard but also to have enough money to buy the the items we ship everyday. Jim Cason, the founder for those of you who dont know, invited the teamsters in. He knew what he was doing. He had a long range plan for the company and so far it's worked. He wouldn't want to admit it, if was alive today, but the teamsters help him lead the way. Our socitey is changing rapidly; the new supervsiors have modern ideas, not always good; the best ideas come from witin the rank and file. So if you dont want to pay dues, I'll pay your last week's dues then you get out and stand nearly alone with you favorite supervisor let me know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
