Re: Sunday evening chat
Cheryl if you are aware of who is trying to take down this site, ban them, or if we are being over run by new posters maybe put on a couple extra temporary moderators through the contract signing, like seasonal peak hires. It sure beats posting old union bashing, and anti union articles like you have been today. I thought you had no preference one way or the other union or management, but it sure seems anti union today, just my opinion.I think that tonight is a good night for a chat. I'll be there around 6:30 pm pacific. Feel free to start without me.
I'm especially interested in chatting with anyone involved with the campaign to take down this website.
Re: Sunday evening chat
Red, you're kidding... at any time have I ever stifled anyone from expressing any opinion anywhere on this forum if it was expressed without vulgarity or personal attacks? So now you are scolding me for expressing an opinion because it's different from yours?
I'm not a robot, I definitely have an opinon about the contract. My opinon: we don't yet know enough about it to get all crazy and polarized like so many people are doing here.
When I found out that there was an organized effort to use this forum to represent one side of an issue that has not yet been fully disclosed to the public it really ticked me off.
If an organized group of people used the forum to overwhelmingly present a view point that differed from yours and I tried to balance the information by posting articles that agreed with your viewpoint would you still be accusing me of being biased?
I'm not banning anyone for expressing their opinion here, even if their intentions were to do it unfairly. Information is power, the more of it we can present the better off everyone here will be.

Re: Sunday evening chat
Cheryl as the creator and administrator of this site dont you think its unfair for you to push an anti-union stance as you have with these 4 or 5 threads you have started. I understand that you take it to heart when you hear of so called conspiracies against this site because this is your baby and we thank you for it. But i feel that your reacting out of anger and your believe it or not your opinion here really matters to most of us and it could sway people one way or the other.
If we have people trolling here over this contract and invading our community than they should be banned, because we dont need their ideas or opinions. Many here have learned who the stand up posters are and we might not agree with them on this issue or others, we do respect their thoughts.
I understand that this is your site and im not one for holding back my opinion on anyone ever, and im not swaying away because its you, but cheryl yoiu have to see where im coming from> Right?

Re: Sunday evening chat
This is a complex issue. The more information we can make available from as many different viewpoints the better.
I understand your concern but believe it is colored by your own bias. I didn't see you questioning the agenda of any of the posters that agreed with your point of view. I also didn't get any complaints from you a few days ago when I posted links to the threads from the past which were mostly pro union.

Re: Sunday evening chat
Also they were posters, not the site administrator! There is a difference. This is all im saying, like i have said in the past, sometimes we have to agree to disagree, and this is something that we will disagree on.
Im done, i have said my piece, and i have no plan on feuding with cheryl on this, just had to speak my mind!
Cheryl the posts from the last week were updates on the contract, this year, this week. They wernt scare tactics from 97,98 and so on.

Re: Sunday evening chat
Hey Poozer,
Welcome to the Browncafe!
I think that having an international chat would be a good idea. Afterall, UPS is a worldwide company.
We can stick with the same day, Sunday if that works for you because most of us are off from work.
Say..10am eastern, I think that would be 4pm your time if I have my time zones right..
What does everyone think?

Have been watching and reading posts for a while now and although we all work for the same co. You folks seem to do things a lot differently including the football !!!!!
