[QUOTE="Xexys, post: 1317279, member: 47259"] I'll say it again Milkman, most of these guys on this site that have only 15 years or less in the company just don't get it. They have tunnel vision and can't see their future even if it was a heads up display on their trucks windshield! Just remember folks, someday you will be retired and left without a vote. It's not fun watching this company take everything away that quite a few of us worked so hard to establish for you, the worker, today. Keep voting for those concessions. Most of you probably have no idea that there even was a thrift plan. Or the fact, that a consignee could not receive more than a total of 50 pounds of packages and that they could only distribute that 50 lbs into three (3) or less packages. Yes, these of course were concessions that we gave away in order to build the company. But concessions that were needed in order to grow. Some of the concessions that many of you are voting on are downright pathetic. Milkman has a right to post on this forum and display his feelings whether you as a reader like it or not. This is the passion that I wish every one of you could possess. Yes, he and I worked together in one of the strongest locals in the country at the time. It's pitiful to see what has become of our hard work. Whether you agree with the both of us is pointless. What is the truth is that someday you will be retired and will have to sit and watch like the thousands of retiree's before you. It is not a pretty sight seeing this Union disbanding right in front of our eyes and to read that most of you think it's fine. Do you newbies even know what the time bonus is/was? Or that anyone hired before 1976 actually gets more per hour if they work the night shift? Do any of you even know what a beltman was? Or that a beltman actually got more money per hour than other clerks that almost matched drivers pay? We live in the past here because we are sick and tired of the active employee's giving away hard earned language that us retirees fought hard to keep long ago. Good luck in YOUR retirement, you'll need it. [/QUOTE]
