[QUOTE="Well-Known Member, post: 6171130, member: 85066"] Yeah, that's funny. He is the one trying to screw us out of a buyout so he can keep his money. This has nothing to do with a contractual violation or an unfair labor practice for him. This all comes down to money and ego for him. Granted, he needs to keep the Union finances in order, but he knows most who take the buyout are at top rate, with over $100/mo in Union dues. These, or most of these, drivers, will be replaced with someone paying half the Union dues and he will lose a lot of money. Who's the prostitute now. It's all about money. His ego is also hurt because UPS didn't consult with him over this buyout. He thought he controlled UPS. He is basically telling drivers who were walking out the door anyway not to take some cash with them. Sure, O'Brien, tell thousands of drivers that they cannot take this buyout and retire. Tell them that they have to work another year like they were going to and then walk out the door with no "bonus." It's not about the contract for him, although he knows this doesn't violate the contract, it's about money. He's akin to a prostitute, not us. [/QUOTE]
